1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE 1 review from North America
"Reliable great looking car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The 1 and 2 setting on the blower doesn't work.
Scratches on the windows.
Replaced front brake pads.
The air conditioning needed a can of freon, it's cold now though.
General comments?
I have not really had any problems with this car, just basically routine maintenance.
The acceleration is good for a 4 banger and the transmission is smooth shifting.
Good gas mileage.
Air conditioning is ice cold.
It's great looking, my friends complement it all the time.
Handles well in the snow.
Either I have been very lucky or it's just because this car is my baby and is VERY well taken care of, but I haven't really had any problems that seem common. I would recommend this car to anyone. It is fun to drive and rides smooth, pretty comfortable too. I would definitely buy another Pontiac.
