1998 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Worth buying for a GOOD deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car got new tires at 100,000 miles.
Black paint is chipping on mirrors, rear spoiler is fading and starting to crack.
The seatbelt is twisted beyond fixing which is annoying.
The side window controller fell into the door.
The manual windows are hard to roll down on the drivers side, and the passenger side will not roll down at all.
General comments?
This car is fun to drive, but occasionally I can feel it miss. I do not put cheap gasoline in it because of the number of miles on it.
I bought it from my brother because I was in need of a car in an emergency. I will drive it until it dies.
Trunk is very roomy.
Seating is nice and spacious.
