1991 Pontiac Sunbird LE 2.0 OHC 4 cylinder from North America
Summary:
Looks and runs good enough to customize
Faults:
Alternator gave out at 133,000 miles. I think this was partly my fault however since I have a 1000 watt stereo system installed. That puts a lot of pressure on the alternator.
Fusible link. Also my fault since I forgot to disconnect the battery while installing a new alternator.
Other than that, no problems. Everything is in good shape.
General Comments:
I bought this Pontiac Sunbird convertible for $2500 just for customizing. I have had this car for almost two years and have had very few problems with it.
I have since installed a high power stereo, DVD system, and playstation, as well as rims, a body kit, and aluminum wing. It now attends car shows and gets a lot of attention. It has been a good investment and I would buy another one in a heart beat.
If you are looking for a reliable yet cheap car that gets good gas mileage, consider a sunbird. With a little work they can also be one of the best looking cars on the road.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

My 1990 Sunbird GT gave me 310,000 miles of flawless performance. I just bought a new sunfire. I hope it's half the car my old sunbird was.
