1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Love this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter went at 160,000 miles.
The wheel bearing went at 180,000 miles.
General comments?
Car handles great.
Spend $200 and the car will burnout down a block with no parking brake.
I've spent $600 in 140,000 miles, not bad for a car that is 12 years old and breaching 300,000 miles.
