1994 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Fairly good for it's price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to rebuild the transmission twice. Thanks to Amoco and it's Warranty. Amoco rebuild my transmission at 81000 mile and I purchased a lifetime warranty on transmission, which paid off at 110000 mile when they rebuild it again. My head gasket blew at 120000 and it cost me $800 to fix it. I changed the alternator and battery once. Other than this occasional problem I did not have any frequent problem with this car. I took it for really long drive (over 1000 miles at a time) many times and the car was fine.
General comments?
This car is really fun to drive and got lot of power. If you know a little bit about the cars and can do minor maintenance by yourself this is a great cheap car.
