1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Student/ work car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dome light at times will not go off, the check engine light blinks on and off like a christmas tree. Not very comfortable. Every part on the car is expensive.
General comments?
The car doesn't run too bad for a little 4-banger.
