Pontiac Sunbird Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1981–1988) — Second Generation
The second generation Pontiac Sunbird was a compact offering built around everyday practicality, and the Coupe bodies gave it a tidier, more personal shape while keeping the running costs and simple mechanicals that buyers expected.
Every Pontiac Sunbird engine here runs on gasoline, so fuel is easy to find and servicing stays familiar to any general workshop. The powertrain pairs a front-mounted unit with a manual or automatic transmission, and the drivetrain layout favours steady town driving over outright performance.
