1997 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I too have had to replace a lot of parts but I've done all the work myself -- head gaskets, water pump, alternators, starters, fuel pump assemblies, ball joints, window motors, heater core, radiator, you name it.
General comments?
Although I have dumped a small fortune into my car, I love the final product, and I have improved the overall look and feel of it, and I wouldn't change it for anything (body kit, rims intake strut tower bar).
I went above and beyond fixing, and moved straight on to ridiculous amounts of money, but I like the stupid thing, so why not.
As with all cars, there are some good ones and some bad -- everyone used to tell me I had a Monday or Friday car, because the guys at the factory were in a rush to get home on Mondays or Fridays -- well I made it a Wednesday car dammit.
