1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America

"Just needs to be made better in certain areas"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My windows are all messed up. They're off but roll up. The biggest thing I think made it that way was my ex-whatever you want to call her. You fill that in. She rolled them down and they froze to the seal. Just had to smoke that cig.

Doors leak water through the trunk too. So I have a swimming pool every time it rains.

My headlights dim when I brake, which is always weird.

Lower control arm bushings have been busted since I bought it, just recently found it when I got new tires" Guess that's why you're shaken at 60 miles an hour duh.." It's not just the brakes all the time. That area is good.. Nor the tie rods. Yep! replaced them.. Bushing!!!

Engine wise mine is absolutely perfect.. No leak anywhere, trust me, I've looked. It has over 200.000 miles on it. I took a fiber optic scope and looked inside it, and it looked to only have 60.000 miles on it..

Trans, is just as strong as it was when I bought it.

To sum it up, her ticker is good, and she just needs a face lift and a tuck and roll here and there..

Guys, you can rant and rave about your cars, but they are like women, they have to be kept up. Just like your house. And really guys, you would go out if ya baby was looking all jacked up.. I'll fix mine up a bit and show her off.

General comments?

You gotta keep them up or they'll fall apart.
