Nice little car that's easy on gas

This car is easy on gas. I get about 23 miles per gallon (about 9.5 kilometers per liter).

1991 Pontiac Grand Am 1991 Pontiac SE 2.3 liter quad 4

Summary:

A lot of power for the money

Faults:

Since I have owned this Grand Am, I have replaced the battery and tailpipe.

As far as overall reliability is concerned, it has been a great car.

However, it is showing some rust on the rear quarters and doors.

General Comments:

The performance on this car, leaves a lot to be desired.

For instance, I can pass most cars like they are sitting still.

As far as the interior is concerned, it is very nice and clean, with no wear.

This summer I plan to do some bodywork on the car and paint it.

I never was a fan of smaller, more modern cars, but I really like this car.

As far as the Pontiac Grand Am is concerned, I am glad to have one.

I fixed my rust hole by sanding then puting ducktape over the hole then paint.

1991 Pontiac Grand Am LE 2.3L QUAD 4

Summary:

Don't drive it hard, you'll drive it into the ground

Faults:

The distributor was not working right, so it had to be replaced.

Recently the engine was over heating due to a small leak in the radiator fluid lines. This caused about 10 things to go wrong. The heat warped the cam shafts which broke the timing chain which cause an interference between the valves and the piston. This in turn putting a hole in the piston. And all at the same time the water pump went. Basically the QUAD 4 cannot take any abuse. It was engineered to work one way with nothing going wrong or else it craps out.

General Comments:

The car wasn't that fast, but it didn't look too bad for its year. The 92 looks a lot better.

I find this review questionable due to it starting off by stating the distributor had to be replaced. Quad 4 engines have no distributor. I would agree with he assessment that these engines do have head gasket problems. But if one keeps an eye on the gauges and does not overheat the engine... major problems can be avoided.

I agree with the person above. The Quad 4 is truly a great little engine with more power than most v6's. And I know they can take abuse. I had a grand am with a quad 4 and I put 40k miles of hell on that car after it already had 150k on it. Not once did I have a major problem with it. It did try to overheat once, but I did the smart thing, shut it off and fix whats wrong (just needed water) instead of driving on, that's what will kill any motor, not just a quad 4.
