1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America

Besides the history of terrible brakes with the Pontiac Grand Am, the only other problem I have is with my horn sometimes. The horn works about 75 percent of the time, reason for it not working the other 25 percent is unknown. I was told by a mechanic that it has something to do with the air bag in the steering wheel, and the button that works the horn. Some confusing stuff, but to me anyway, it is not worth spending $49 dollars and an hour to tell me what's wrong with it.

I am not planning on keeping the car long anyway, if it lasts me another 35 thousand miles, I am going to retire it and get a new Grand Am GT. I know they have crummy brakes also, but for the looks, style, speed, and price, it's worth dealing with. I don't know what it is about the fog lights, fancy styling, nice premium wheels and that little GT sticker that get my blood boiling, but whatever it is, it truly gets me going. But besides that horn problem, I think it is a truly great car.

The Pontiac Grand Ams are nice cars, truly reliable, dependable, fast, fancy designed cars.

The only car I will ever buy is a Pontiac Grand Am. I am going to set a trend in my family for the only one crazy enough to keep buying the exact same car (different years....) over and over again. I am truly a die heart Pontiac Grand Am fan!
