1994 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Decent car, if you have money to waste"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-brakes/rotors (normal wear and tear)
-passenger side window constantly comes off of the track.
-driver side door sticks.
-driver side turn signal stays solid on dashboard, but does not work/blink on the outside.
-car sounds like a Christmas elf (jingling noise)
-needed new spark plugs.
-new front bushings.
-everything plastic in the interior squeaks/jitters.
General comments?
Overall, this car was a a great starter car to get me from point A to point B as a college student. For what is was though, it was far too overpriced (at $2,500 with 117,000 miles on it), especially for the amount of things I have had to get fixed in the short time of a year that I have owned this car. On highways, the car never seems to want to go anywhere over 70/75 mph, and when it does, everything in the car vibrates. With every bump in the road, the car squeaks. For what I use this car for, it's a waste of my time and money (especially on a college student's budget).
