1993 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America

"It has issues"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Car tends to start rattling when it begins to get hot. I'm not sure if it's the fan running or whatnot, but it can get loud.

Car tends to get really warm in the summer since there is no way to turn off the fan.

Has an issue with losing power. When I mean "lose power" I mean it! I can be cruising at 70 on the interstate and it will stop running for no reason. It can make a very dangerous predicament. Then, it wouldn't start. It has a tendency to pull this crap whenever I take it on a long road trip. I just changed the spark plugs since sometimes it wouldn't start for over 45 minutes and that has helped a bit, but it hasn't acted up on me for a few days now.

Interior has started to wear, but I think the prior owner didn't take good care of the interior.

Prior owner commented on the original paint had begun to come off and they got it repainted. Well, that paint is starting to come off.

Call me spoiled by my last car (1992 Pontiac Grand Am SE) but the gas mileage is terrible. It isn't so bad when its above half full, but it gobbles gas down at anything below half full.

For some silly reason, my passenger window use to not work, but now it does.

General comments?

I love the power of the car. How much do I love the power of this car, but sometimes it seem sluggish. It's quick and sporty, but it has its moments.

Factory sound system is great. Sounds really good for being as old as the car is.

I like how low the car is, but you can feel every little bump!

Very sporty and sexy. Moves quick in traffic.
