1992 Pontiac Sunbird SE 4 cylinder, 2.0 Liter from North America
Summary:
Great car with few draw-backs
Faults:
I just bought the car about three weeks ago and here is what I found out so far:
~ There are mysterious puddles on the front driver's side and on the rear passenger side. Who knows where the leak is coming from. Can anyone help me out?
~When we first bought the car the transmission would skip and shake in between 25-35 mph. It seems to be gone now.
~The engine gets hot fast. Don't idle it for too long.
~Most recently my radiator had a minor leak. I just put some of that stop leak in it and it was fine.
Other than that no problems and hopefully it will stay that way.
General Comments:
~Other than the puddles of water on the carpet I do love this car.
~The acceleration on this car is awesome. It sounds wonderful too. It has that distinctive Pontiac hum to it.
~This car has very comfortable front seats, but don't try to fit adults in the back seat because they won't fit. The leg room in the back seat is terrible.
~Great fuel economy!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I recently had the same problem, my seats and floor, and roof liner would be soaked after I drove in the rain. Turns out it was my sunroof. To solve this problem I removed the sunroof and rubber gasket, in the bottom of the notch where the gasket seats I ran a bead of silicone then put it all back together. It was a cheap and quick fix. (Note there is a joint in the roof in the bottom of the groove, which is where my leak was)
