The best car i ever owned
5 out of 5 starsNicole Lincicum, 10/05/2008
1994 Pontiac Sunbird SE 2dr Coupe
I bought this car when i was a kid it was the best thing i ever did. This car was awesome. In the end it had some electrical problems but no matter what it always ran great. I never in the 8 years that i owned it did i put more than $1000.00 into it, including normal maintenance. It was absolutely great in the winter. Eventually i bought a grand prix for more room. I will always regret … giving up the best car i owned to my husband to derby, but it took 3rd place. Overall i absolutely loved this car. The electrical problems i had were the abs system, the heater switch which was ran by a switch under my dash. Overall if you can find a sunbird in good condition buy it.
Good Car

No problems with the car, 3.1L V6 is nice and strong, sounds really good when you step on tha gas!

1994 Pontiac Sunbird SE 2dr Coupe
When i received this car, it had 73K miles on it. Over the four years i had it, i replaced the engine TWICE, the heater core three times, heater hoses every month, and replaced the manifold system three times. Another problem I had was that it over heated every other day in a Pennsylvanian summer. The interior dash separated from the radio set-up but aside from that, the interior was … fine. It handled well and the frame was like a rock but it was everything under the hood that caused problems.
Enjoy Sun!

Only fun with 3.1L V6 engine and top
down. Great look and cheap to buy.
Good resale value in spring.
