1995 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"A good car for the money, with a few bugs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My distributor broke about 2 months after I purchased the car, but it was cheap to replace.
The major thing wrong with this car is that it is constantly over-heating! I have replaced the water pump, the radiator, the thermostat, the overflow tank, and the heater coil. Nothing has fixed it yet...
It wears brakes very quickly.
It also goes through tires pretty fast.
My air condition went out last year and like I read in another review "the AC costs more to fix than the car is worth".
General comments?
All and all I love my Grand Am.
It is usually very reliable.
It has a lot of take-off power and does really well on gas mileage!
This is a good car for the price, it just has a few bugs!
The driver seat is comfortable, but the others are not really.
