1989 Pontiac Grand Am LE review from North America
"I love the car, buy one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car the coil pack was bad, but that was due to my cousins lack of maintenance. I replaced it and it ran fine.
I've also bought tires, and seat covers.
General comments?
My first grand am had the quad 4 engine in it, I bought the car drove it 104 miles and it blew up. I do not recommend this engine to anyone.
I love this car.
It was wrecked 3 times before I bought it, so I replaced the front clip, and started driving it. no major shakes or rattles, even after knocking down 7 fence posts.
Drives like a dream, and blows away other 4 bangers due to my driving and the 5 speed tranny.
