Used 1994 Pontiac Grand Am Consumer Reviews
The horror
AltThough it's been over 3 years since I owned this car I had to warn others of its horrors. This was the worst, most unreliable car I have ever owned. I bought this car in 5/99 with 45k on it. I desperately needed a 2d car. I traded the car in in 10/99. In the 5 mos. I owned the car I put about 3k miles (mostly, it was in the shop) and $2500 worth of work into it before I decided to cut my losses. 1st, motor mounts went (not broken when I bought the car). 2d a/c went during the hottest summer in 10 years). Then power windows broke. Then a/c went again. Then the seats. Then the power steering. Then I traded it. Next up was the tranny.
A pretty darn good car
I bought this car with 27000 miles, now has over 100,000. Overall, it has been a good car and has been surprisingly reliable (of course regular preventive maintenance helps).

Reliable until it isnt
This was my 1st car and I went out of my way to baby it. Bought it at 55k and had no problems until about 75k. The biggest issue I had was that the clamp that keeps the battery charged while driving would loosen and my car would die when you I would come to a stop. This happened about 10 times and I took it to several mechanics that never could seem to figure it out, so the dealer charged $2k and got it done. Traded this thing in for $500 and felt like I ripped the dealer off.
