1999 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America
"Everything that looks good is not good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just purchased the car one week ago from the dealer.
Already I had to take it back. The brakes were grinding, the dealer said it was normal. But they fixed the problem. The dealer said the problem was due to metallic brakes, But I knew better.
The driver side is leaking water from under the car. The dealer said it was due to the air condition or the heater.
The car drives slower than the amount of acceleration you put to it.
General comments?
I like the car, it rides good.
But looks aren't everything.
