Pontiac Phoenix Engines and Transmissions

A 2.5-litre gasoline Pontiac Phoenix engine anchors the range, sending power to the front wheels. Buyers chose between a manual gearbox, as in the 2.5 MT hatchback, and an automatic transmission offered on both bodies. The manual rewards involvement; the automatic suits relaxed commuting.
