1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"A lot of bang for your hard earned bucks!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced leaky manifold gasket at 70K.
Replaced right front hub bearing at 75K.
Radio volume knob doesn't always work (I have to use the volume control on the steering wheel).
General comments?
This is a lot of fun for the money.
Very quick and corners like a slot car.
0-60 is also very impressive.
For the first time in it's history (since being reintroduced in the mid-80's), the interior and exterior styling are superb.
The Grand Am looks and handles like a far more expensive automobile.
More than adequate passenger and trunk space.
Nice, throaty exhaust tone that adds to the "sporty" feel of the car.
