In the day they became sort of a joke because of their poor finish quality
(interior trim and paint as I recall were the issues), but given what
Chrysis Corp produced after I would now have one in a hearbeat over any
flavour of K-Car except the Spirit. Oddly enough, IIRC they had more
interior room than a Rabbit, which given the state of the non-art of
Detroit use of interior space at the time, was actually quite an
achievement. And the seats were not bad.
I talked an uncle into trading is Pontiac Astre for one, and he hated me
for it forever after. So he then got rid of it, went out and bought one of
those ghastly little 3-cylinder Suzukis badged as a Pontiac, and proceeded
to pay the dealer like a grand a year on brake rebuilds because he was too
stupid to believe he could take it down the street to Suzuki and get it
done for half that (and probably get uprated rotors that did not warp when
they hit a puddle, too).
