1996 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"It runs and looks great.. and it has very good pick-up and horse power!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing much.
I changed the battery at 60,000 miles.
The check engine light went on one time, but it was only my spark plugs ($400.00)
Because my car uses platnum spark plugs.
The RPM gauge goes up sometimes when the car is shut off.
Other than that nothing has gone wrong!!
General comments?
This car is great and sporty looking.
I don't know why people are complaining about it because the car treats you as the owner treats it.
My car is white and has sporty white rims. The inside of my Grand Am is good. My seats are not worn out... Either is my carpets and my car now has 66,045 miles on it.
I get my car detailed and waxed every month so my car is really shiny and clean.
I don't like driving it in the snow or rain so in the winter so I only put about 2,000 miles on it during the winter.
I don't know how the other owner treated it, but it is running really great.
I am planning on keeping it for about 5 years.
