1989 Pontiac GTA 5.7 litre

Summary:

This car is the best performer I have had and this includes better than my Porsche 911 and 944 LUX

Faults:

The only problem with this car was the starter motor as it kept sticking.

General Comments:

This car follows on the heels of an 84 Trans Am & it is so much more quicker with the added desirable road holding & comfort factor with it's full leather interior, over here in England it really turns the heads.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1989 Pontiac GTA 350cc

Summary:

The GTA (89) is a grade A tourer

Faults:

The car has been really good except for an after market alarm that kept draining the battery, but this alarm has now been re-installed properly.

The seat belt restraint is uncomfortable as it feels like it is strangling me, but I feel I may have to look at the tensioner.

General Comments:

This car is my second Firebird, the first being a 1984 5 speed manual Trans Am & it is like driving a different car in the fact the handling is more pleasurable.

The interior is the leather option which is very nice & comfortable.

The general cockpit styling is more refined & unless you have a leather upholstered Recaro 84 option the seats in the GTA are a world apart from the 84 Trans Am.

The GTA is super super fast & has that V8 rumble you always want to hear without being too obtrusive.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
