1994 Pontiac Grand Am GT Sedan review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced: Alternator, Front and Rear A-frames, entire exhaust system, spark plugs and wires, brakes and calipers, electrical system was shot, Entire cooling system failed, shocks wore out way sooner than they should have.
General comments?
This was my first car, and at first I loved it. It was such a blast to drive. It's fast, comfortable, and handle like a dream. However it was constantly in the shop, at some points it was a weekly visit to the mechanic. I always took good care of it, had proper maintenance done on it, and always made sure to drive it easy, but it still needed quite a few fixes.
