1989 Pontiac Grand Am LE review from North America
"Great car for the beginning driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the heater core.
Replaced the valve cover gasket.
Replaced the shocks.
Replaced a few sensors but don't remember which ones.
Replaced the alternator.
Replaced the exhaust.
General comments?
Great first car I plan to run the car till it dies then rebuild the motor and run it longer if possible.
Handles great in the winter on ice and in snow.
Biggest problem I had with it was the radio. it sucked.
