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).
Great Car
I have had my Sunbird since 1995. Only 78,000 miles on it. Rusting out inside the doors and dash is staring to separate from frame (possibly from heat exposure). No major problems, just general maintenance with age, hoses, belts, etc. Did replace raditor but that was due to a rock. Had one problem under warranty with power window motor.
Nice LOOKING car...
Well, I LOVE the way it looks, both on the interior and exterior, but... I've had waaaaay too many problems w/ it. Shortly after I purchased it at 98000k mi's the tranny every so often wouldn't downshift into first when I went to stop. Now it's ALL the time, if I ride in 3rd for awhile or I get abover 50MPH. Stuck throttle valve in the tranny, and it's gonna cost close to a GRAND to fix. I only paid 3200 for this car, and haven't had it even 2 yrs yet, and I'm havin' these problems. If you're lookin' into one of these... get a 5spd, I've seen a lot of places that the trottle valve is a common problem!
What a bad car!
I don't think I could make a car any uglier, of any less quality build, or any less fun! Leave it to Pontiac to make a car that won't comfortably seat anyone over five feet tall yet weighs over a ton! Most of that fun-sapping weight probably comes from the ugly plastic ridges all over this monster of a vehicle!
Unreliable Junk
I received this car for free or else I would have never bought it. Used for about 7 months - did ok. Driving through the mountains it sounded like it was dying but it got me where I needed to be. Gas mileage OK, not great. I had it sit for about a year and it got filled with water - something was leaking had to tear out the trunk material. Next year the alternator broke, battery replaced, starter replaced, serpentine belt broke, brakes replaced, and finally the tranny is going at 223000 km. Would never buy a pontiac again.
