1999 Pontiac Trans Sport review from North America
"It has been very good to us over the years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake manifold gasket went at 72,000 Kms (right on schedule!)
Wheel bearings, brakes... regular stuff.
Both struts replace recently.
Silly little things like the radio display went out, no big deal.
General comments?
Had I'd seen this website before purchasing the van, I probably would've stayed clear of it. But in retrospect, it's been very good over the years. The body is staring to rot out (rocker panels first) and the power windows work when they want to.
I pack it up and pull a small trailer every weekend to the cottage and still get 30 mpg on the highway, so I have no complaints with that.
I'll probably be driving it into the ground, but it feels like that'll be a long time from now.
Hope I didn't jinx it!!!!
