1987 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"One absolutely fabulous car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain wore and caused a ticking sound in the engine. Was replaced and has been in good working condition ever since.
General comments?
This was the best car I ever owned, you can't kill it. We have had it for 13 years and it is still going strong. Just a little rust here and there.
We have a new car now, but I will never get rid of the Grand Am SE - a wicked car!!!
