Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1980 LeMans.
The 1980 Pontiac LeMans is defined by its identity as a Pontiac model, encompassing the body, platform, and engine configurations specific to that year's lineup. Within the model's documented complaint history from 1990 to 1993, the standout figures are the highest tally of 34 complaints in 1991 and the lowest of 25 in 1992. This places the 1980 LeMans at a crucial point in the model's reliability history, meaning that while the 1991 peak indicates a period of concentrated owner issues, the subsequent drop suggests those problems were largely mitigated, making the early 1990s a vital metric for researchers assessing the vehicle's long-term durability.
