1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Its good on gas"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1week after I bought it the heater coal went out, 6 mons ago I had to get strouts on the driver side,2 mons ago the air conditioning compressor went out now I have a leak in the hose which is giong to cost 310.00. also at this time the check eng. light came on it had to do with the catlic convertor, so far I had put 1900.00 in to this car with in the two yrs I've had it. the driver window goes less than half way down. the day lights come on when the feel like it. when it goes at a speed of 10 miles I could feel the car has this little shake, one thing I can say that's good is it is good on gas, and gets me were I need to go.
General comments?
It takes a lot of money to keep it running.
