There are several changes to the 1991 Pontiac Sunbird, most notably the loss of the turbo engine in the GT coupe and LE convertible. In its place is a new 3.1-liter, 140-hp V6, which comes standard in these two trims and is optional on all but the base coupe and sedan. Though it gets less horsepower, the V6 provides added performance and acceleration to the compact car. The 1992 Sunbird also gets a new base coupe and sedan. Along with the LE sedan and the SE and LE coupe, these are powered by the 2.0-liter, 96-hp I4. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard across the line. Both the LE convertible and GT coupe are more performance oriented, not only because they carry the V6 engine, but also for their sports suspension and handling. The coupes come with a rear spoiler, Rallye instruments, supportive seats, and a sunroof option. Power windows and locks are not standard except on the convertible. Mileage wavers somewhere around the 26/36 mpg range, making the 1992 Sunbird economical as well as versatile and fun to drive. There is a good amount of interior space and trunk room in the 1992 Sunbird, though rear legroom is compromised, particularly in the 2-door coupe and convertible. But owners love the new V6 power for better pickup and highway confidence. They say the Sunbird is reliable, maintenance is inexpensive, and fuel economy top-notch. Being a compact, it's very easy to park, ideal for city living. Downsides include problems with the alternator, interior materials falling apart (the headliner in particular) and the lack of legroom and cupholders.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1991 Pontiac Sunbird appreciate its fun driving experience, good handling, and decent gas mileage. Many enjoy its performance, especially with the V6 engine. However, some drivers mention issues with space, reliability, and performance, particularly when it comes to steep hills or mechanical problems like the coolant system and alternator replacements."

December 24, 2007I like how it has a quick pickup and that the styling of it is nice and sleek looking and interior design is pretty much open to custom work. A very fun car to drive. Its cheap on gas and cheap on insurance.

October 30, 2009It is a convertible with a removable top. Very nice for cruising with friends in the summer. The small car size fits my small stature very well. Gets fairly good gas mileage. It is blue with a brand new black top.
October 13, 2009it is a very reliable gets up and goes with the 3.1 v6 had a few problems with the coolant and power steering other then that amazing car.it is a very fun to drive also sounds very good with a thrush welded muffler.
April 5, 2010I suppose it's not really fair of me to review this car as it was already 12 years old when I got it. I had it for 3 years and while it never worked perfectly, it never did leave me stranded and didn't really cost me much over the course of the 3 years. I more than got my money's worth.
April 10, 2008Overall I enjoy this car of corse being by first car I love it but honestly the performance is not up to snuff with my expectations. The little 2.0L SOHC 4cyl has problems making it up steep hills with more than one person in it. Relyable and great on gas makes it out to even par.
January 8, 2008I really liked this car. It was a fun drive. It wasn't the best car I've had by far but it was not bad eather. It did have som electircal problems which were quite annoying. over all it was fine.
January 15, 2013I really liked this car, It had good handling, was well built and ran really well. The one problem I had was that at the end of I had to replace the alternator three times in one year. which was when I sold it.
August 24, 2010nice little car-with good get up and go
