1993 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Someone's nightmare come to life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
10 tiers in three years. Don't ask.
New brakes at 100,000, we bought it is had over 80,000 miles.
Head gasket blew at 122,000.
Interior is falling apart.
New timing belt at 122,000.
Bad gas mileage!
General comments?
The worst car I ever drove. But it lasted for longer than I expected. I can't tell you how many problems we have had, just too many to list. The one thing that sticks out about this car, is that, it is horrible in the snow! Never, I mean Never buy this car if you live up north.
We are now selling this junker for 1,000 or best offer. I just bought a 98 Isuzu, it puts this car or any other Grand Am to shame!!
