The car moves fairly quick and it is somewhat reliable on gas. The seats are very comfortable and the factor speakers are excellent. The car was designed poorly so rust occurs at the wheel wells and the trunk. Some people have good luck with these cars; I'm not one of those people.
I feel the owner of this car just had a bad one. I have a 92 Grand Am SE and the only thing that went worng with it was the radiator and I use the car over 300 miles a day.
The MAP sensor costs about $30 for the part. If someone charged $420 to install it they got robbed!
I agree car will nickel and dime you to no end bit when it runs it runs good and comfortable.
