1997 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"One of the best cars ever built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition coils.
Fuel pressure regulator.
General comments?
All I can say is, I don't understand how anyone who properly maintains this vehicle could complain. I understand that the 6 cylinders had some problems, but this is my second 1997 2.4L Grand Am, which has made it over 250,000 miles. I still have the first and it still runs.
Just maintain them, and don't drive it like a race car constantly, and this car will be a dream. I have two of them as proof.
