1995 Pontiac Grand Am SE Sedan review from North America
"I think it's a good car if you take care of it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket was bad when I bought the car, but I didn't figure it out until 30,000 miles later, at 115,000 miles.
I blew the transmission at 120,000 miles, but I could of been nicer to it.
I had to change normal things like ball joints and tires over the years. The brakes don't last very long on these cars.
General comments?
I like this car because it is solid and reliable. Even if there is something wrong with it, it never has left me stranded. I have 194,000 miles on it and I still take it everywhere.
It handles well and it seems that it costs less to maintain as it gets older.
It's now 10 years old and the firewall has rusted out.
I find that the car is more reliable and lasts longer if you're nicer to it.
