1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"This is the best car ever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes and rotors have had to be replaced once.
The alternator has had to be replaced once.
General comments?
I think that these cars are one of the best. This has been one of the best cars I have ever owned or driven before.
This car has also saved my life and some of my friends lives.
Like when I was rear ended, I was smashed in between a car and a truck. No one was hurt, but my car was almost totaled.
When I hydroplaned I did two donuts in the middle of the road, a nose dive into a ditch, two more donuts in the field, and another nose dive into the ditch again. The only thing that was wrong was I had a huge dent in the front bumper, and that happened in May, and my car is still driving like new.
The inside is very roomy and comfortable.
