"The best body style with performance to match"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The temperature sensor went out almost immediately after I got it.

I've replaced the front brakes, but I knew they were low when I bought the car.

The passenger door lock won't power lock.

The paint on the driver's side mirror is peeling off.

The factory stereo wouldn't play burned CD's - replaced that in a hurry.

General comments?

After owning my XT for 5 years, I was looking at their SVX's for my next car. Having 3 kids however, I finally decided to settle for a 4 - door. After the test drive of this Grand Am GT, I was sold. The car is very quick and handles great.

I've heard absolutely no rattles or squeaks no matter how hard I drive it.

I also had the problem with the paint peeling off on the driver side mirror. Mine might just be the clear coat though because it shines like new when it is buffed... not quite sure what is up with that...

I had the same problem with my radio! And of course-I got a new one also. I also have problems with paint chipping off of all parts of the car... not too bad though.
