1995 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America
"Utterly disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Found out the Pontiac was made with aluminum heads; notorious for blowing around 150k. Even with a rebuilt engine, the heads will still keep blowing.
General comments?
Don't invest in this vehicle. I had a Civic which was totaled by some drunk driver, and all I got out of it was enough to afford this piece of crap.
A month later it just stopped running. The heads were warped after I got an oil change and put fresh anti-freeze in the radiator. Took it to a mechanic, and he informed us that Grand Ams are cheaply made, and do the same thing it did on us on a regular basis. Buyer beware.
I'm investing in a Maxima or another Civic in the next few weeks. I prefer a rice burner that I never had problems, to a crappy american manufacturer that can't make quality vehicles.
