Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1983 Phoenix.
The 1983 Pontiac Phoenix Electric is recorded exclusively as an electric-engine variant of the Pontiac Phoenix, with its powertrain marking the sole confirmed specification in the available documentation. No platform, body style, or additional performance data are supplied, leaving the vehicle catalogued strictly as the electric-powered iteration for the 1983 model year. That same sparseness extends to reliability history, so this model year occupies the record as an undefined point that researchers must approach knowing only its electric engine and 1983 identity.

THE BRAKE PROPORTIONER VALVES MAY BREAK AND SEPARATE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS WOULD ALLOW BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK AND WOULD RESULT IN A PARTIAL LOSS OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE ALL SUSPECT VALVES.
