1995 Pontiac Grand Am 4 door sedan review from North America
"Get ready for what you pay for!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got my car, and I loved it. But after one week of having it, the rotors, ABS, and brakes need to be replaced.
Another week goes by and my plugs needed to be replaced.
My car was fine for a while then, but my steering wheel column came loose in a matter of days and disconnected while I was driving! From there on my car went down hill.
ABS went completely out, blinker socket blew out, brakes were gone already. Then till one day I was drving and lost almost all horse power, and my head gasket blew, once that went, the engine went completely. I did like my car, but if you want a car like that, you better be ready for what you paid for!
General comments?
In general it was a nice car, it handled good, and rode OK! But, getting another Grand Am with a quad 4 would be stupid. Do not buy a quad 4 engine ever, I think they are junk. Otherwise, a decent car!
