1993 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"A good beginner car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine torque bracket was worn so it was replaced.
The plugs were rusted in they were replaced.
Door and trunk seals were all chewed up so they were replaced.
The heater core was broke and needed to be replaced.
The belt was cracking and had to be replaced.
The water pump bearings were going so the water pump was replaced.
The half shaft and tie-rod needed to be replaced.
It has no second gear.
All of this was changed at 156000 miles.
General comments?
Though were are many things wrong with it it is still quick and handles nicely and should last for awhile yet.
