1997 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America
"Pretty reliable, small repairs cause it's 10 years old!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fixed Alternator a few years back.
Just got the Crank Sensor replaced.
Replaced Fuel pump and fuel filter couple of months ago.
General comments?
Any used car you get, especially one that is ten years old is going to need repairs.
I've had this car for four years and have only had two major breakdowns. Sure there have been a few small things wrong with it but not enough to where I can recall what they even were.
My car has been mostly reliable and for as many miles that I've put on it has been running smoothly.
My only complaint would be I it has electric windows which are a pain because the motors in all of them have died and I can't afford to fix them.
Also the CD player has never worked and I'm not sure why, it accepts the CD for a second and then it pops back out? I don't know, not really a major problem.
