1998 Pontiac Grand Am GT Coupe review from North America
"I can't afford to get rid of it, so I might as well enjoy it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My intake went at 115000kms.
Head gaskets went at 120000kms.
Engine blew at 126000kms.
Bad accident, transmission rebuilt at 132000kms.
Wheel bearings, about four of them.
Lots of tires and brakes.
General comments?
This car, although it has cost me a lot, has been great since I replaced the engine.
It has a lot of power, a few mods ;)
It has every option available, and attracts the girls, being red.
