1995 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Great, low cost and reliable car (if maintained properly and regularly)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turn signal flasher likes to burn out ($4 part).
Muffler hanger finally rusted out (original... fixed with a good old wire coat hanger).
Recent cold snap (-35C) led to AC/heater knob snapping on inner shaft (easy fix).
General comments?
Pro's:
- great on gas
- good power, lots of torque
- stylish (nicest GA made, in my opinion)
- Reliable, has never left me stranded... will start in -30C weather even if not plugged in (synthetic oil helps too).
- factory fog lights are a nice touch
-good interior and trunk space.
Con's:
- interior squeaks and rattles
- seats take getting used to (not the most comfortable, and are very low)
Bought it on a returned lease in 1996, regular maintenance done, 11 years later still running strong! Will be sorry when it goes, its been a great car!
