1990 Pontiac Grand Am LX review from North America
"Probably wouldn't buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket leak at 90k. This was the car's 4th headgasket.
Car had been in our family since day one. Head gasket issues were commonplace.
General comments?
Average comfort.
Aside from head gaskets, I guess it ran fine.
Adequate trunk space.
Decent gas mileage.
I won't buy another grand am, ever. This definitely was not one of Pontiac's finer vehicles.
