1998 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is quick for a 3.1L. It has been very reliable as I drive a 145 miles round trip each day to work.
The only problem I have had is with the alignment and front brakes. The braking system is poor on this car. The rotors tend to warp easily and with very little mileage on them. They are too loud when braking and almost sound like grinding.
I hope Pontiac has corrected this problem on newer models as this is the only flaw I have found on this car and it is a shame because it is a quick, comfortable, reliable, and good looking car.
