No complaints
I bought my 5 spd 1994 Sunbird nearly 6 1/2 years ago. I have put 136,500 miles on it since I bought it. I have no complaints about it other than mine seems to be rusting at an extremely faster rate compared to other Sunbirds I see around. My mpg is approx. 30/38. It seems that the fuel effiency has actually improved. Outside of normal things that need replacing with all cars (brakes, tires, spark plugs, etc.) the only thing out of the normal I have had to replace was the altenator 4 years ago. Everything is original.
A Bad Idea
I drove my Sunbird for over 3 years and kept hoping that I would eventually stop having to fix stuff. My air conditioning and heating went out immediately, had problems with brakes, a melted piston, and have had 2 blown head gaskets. In addition, their has been an increasing amount of rust around my doors. I only have 102,000 miles on it and it is now completely useless in my driveway, despite my constant attempts to keep it as maintained as possible. I wouldn't advise purchasing a Sunbird to anyone.
fun little car, bad little engine
I bought the car with 74K miles on it, so I expected some problems, but the seller assured me that she'd taken good care of it. Yeah right! First month the alternator, then the valve gasket, TWICE! then the brakes, (disks and rotors), then a bunch of hoses, the temp sensor, and gauge, and finally the radiator. All this within 6 months and 6,000 miles, finally the it would just quit in the middle of the highway, I'd wait 5-10 minutes, then I'd start it back up and it go for a bit longer, the mechanic told me to stop using the a/c so I did all summer and died of heat. I finally sold it for $2300 with 87K miles.
Good Car
Bought this car for my daughter in 01. Great runner and she beat the heck out of it. The clutch finally went and is not worth fixing. I'll miss this car.
Super sunbird coupe
I got this great car since 2002,V6 automatic transmission, runs like new. I drive it every day without problems.The trans was fixed just one time, but that is to be expected with age. Very reliable car. I will keep driving it for few more years. I really love the interior and exterior design. I feel safe every time I drive it. The interior is comfortable. The alternator was changed once and the battery was replaced two times,also the DIS (DISTRIBUTION IGNITION SYSTEM).
