1990 Pontiac 6000 LE 3.1 liter from North America
Summary:
Very nifty Euro-flavor mid-size car
Faults:
Replaced computer and 5 fuel injectors (due to bad gas) at 125000 miles.
Replaced original main brake line, rotors, rear calipers at 124000 miles.
Replaced water pump at about 95000 miles.
General Comments:
Very nice riding car!!
Quick off the line, lots of passing power, will cruise at turnpike speeds with no problems.
Love all the "buttons" and extras.
Interior has held up quite well, still very comfortable.
Overall at 128000 miles it still gets me where I'm going.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I used to sell Pontiac in 83 to 84, and some of us sales staff and friends piled into a new 6000 with bench seats and took off to the auto show. It was the first time I have driven a 6000 for any distance, and I was impressed on how well the car handled. When the next day, I looked up the design history of the car, and the head person (don't remember his name) said that the car was to drive somewhat like a European car, though I don't know if it did. All I know, is it drove very well for a car with 7 people in it.
