1993 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"An awesome amateur racing car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at about 51,000 miles, however this was due to the fact that the car sat for six years.
The air conditioner started to make the car jump a little while idling whenever it was turned on. So I had to replace the fuel line.
Had 4 new tires put on, but that was because I had put racing tires on it.
General comments?
Actually to tell you the truth this car is and awesome car to own, but it isn't good to let it sit for an extended period of time.
This Grand Am with a Quad 4 engine has about 185 hp and does 0-60 in about 5.5 sec. It also pulls about a 13 sec quarter mile.
