Used 1994 Pontiac Grand Am Consumer Reviews
What I Expected
I bought the car used with 63K and change. In the 2.5 years that I have owned it, I have had no major repairs. There have been a number of pesky problems. One of the cables linking the shifter assembly (5 speeed manual) and clutch broke ($450) and the shifter is sticking again after the repair took place 6 mnths ago. I put shocks on the back and, as usual, routine maintenance by the amateur mechanic is ill-advised given the unfriendly dipsosition of the Quad 4. The car is pretty noisy inside in terms of rattles and cheap plastic shaking around but I have experienced absolutely no problems with any electrical components (i.e. windows, locks, lights).
WELCOME BACK,AMERICA!
I bought the Grand Am GT for my wife, as I NEVER TRUSTED American-built cars. WOW! WAS I WRONG! We've had it 8 yrs. now, 3 sets of brakes w/o any other repairs! Regret not buying one for me! Fun to drive, GREAT PERFORMANCE W/GREAT FUEL ECONOMY! Purring like a kitten w/175,000+miles and counting! YEP! WELCOME BACK,AMERICA!
Alright little car
I bought my car used in February 2014 with 180,000 miles on it for $950. Since then we had to replace the head gaskets, fuel pump, brake pads, power steering belt and pulley. It all totaled to be about $3000 to $4000. The driver window is off balance, so it rolls up weird an the passenger door lock actuator is out. Other than that, its a great little car. Sub-par gas mileage but very sporty looking.
My BEST car yet!!
Bought this car with 42,000 miles on it and I now have 181,000 miles on it. I have only done routine maintenance until last month when I replaced the water pump. This car still sounds like the day I bought it! I fully expect to hit 200,000 miles with this baby!
Excellent
very nice good get up and go. Enjoy turning over the wheels and leaving big blackys.
