1992 Pontiac Sunbird Reviews

I can explain this car in 3 words...ZERO TO SIXTY... It was like a lightning bolt. I would tell people i never got a speeding ticket in it because it was too slow, when in reality...it was too fast.  when i saw blue lights flashing i instantly dropped it back to second and stomped the pedal (it was an automatic) and hauled off before they could make a move.

2.0L 4cyl, 110hp

The '92 Sunbird coupe with the six and the five-speed is a seriously underrated sporty car. Because the car is so light, the six makes it fly down the road (with some serious FWD torque steer for the careless). Great exhaust note too. As a plus, the V-6/five-speed gets surprisingly good fuel economy, particularly at higher speeds (33 mpg at 75-80 mph).
It is not a car for large people, particularly getting in and out (those above six feet may want to put a hand on the ground when they get out). The driver's seat is a tight fit.
One irritant is the automatic door locks -- perhaps nice for a four-door, not so for a two-door. On automatics the doors lock when shifting into drive, but on sticks they lock at 8 mph, which means that every time you want to get out, you have to unlock the doors. (This was GM's way of avoiding either the $%^&%$!@&!!! motorized seat belts or air bags.)
Long-term ownership issues include rust at the bottom of the doors.
All in all, a very fun car to drive.
