1993 Pontiac Sunbird LE I-4 Coupe review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator the first week I had the car.
The thermostat 3 times since June 21, 1999.
Front struts, rear shocks.
Front and rear brakes (total overhaul).
Two front tires.
Weatherstripping around the front doors leaks. Trunk leaks if it rains hard enough.
Replaced the front windshield.
The dealer who works on my car dropped my hood on a pair of Vise-grip pliers (ouch).
Emergency brake cable replaced.
Trunk and glove box rattles continuously.
Car squeaks.
General comments?
I originally bought this car because I wanted something bigger than my Geo Metro LSi Convertible. The car has good looks, but the finish is lets just say, not the best.
The Sunbird has power for a 2.0L with the automatic transmission. I've added a K/N Filtercharger drop in air cleaner and added a Cherry Bomb muffler (soon I'm getting a Borla Boomer). These two enhancements, even minor, do work well with the car. I also plan to customize it more if at all possible.
