1987 Pontiac Grand Am LE review from North America

"The best car I have ever owned"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced the alternator 3 times.

Replaced the starter once.

Replaced the water pump twice due to a bearing wearing out internally.

Had to repair the head due to the wife running it hot with the heater core leaking.

Repaced heater core.

General comments?

All items that had been replaced are normal wear items in my opinion.

This has been the best car that I have ever owned.

This car keeps running great year after year.

Repair parts are readily available and fairly inexpensive.

I do agree that this car does make a bit more noise than other cars, but it runs great and has never left me stranded.

I would recommend this car for any one who is looking for a good reliable starter car for that new driver in the family.

I often tell friends that I plan on driving this car until the wheels fall off, or I get too old to drive, whichever comes first.
