Great Cat
We bought this car new and it now has 240,000 miles on it. Never had any major problems other than AC and always gets around 35mpg with 5 speed manual and quad 4. Some rust started to show after 13 years over the rear wheels and had to replace radiator and cat. conv. recently. Have taken good care of it and it has taken good care of us.
I LOVE MY 1994 GRANDAM
I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 19,000 MILES AND IT NOW HAS 142,000. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. I CHANGE THE OIL ON TIME AND HAVE TUNE-UPS AND TRANSMISSION SERVICES REGULARLY AND IT HAS RUN LIKE A DREAM. I HATE TO GET RID OF IT, BUT I NEED FOUR DOORS WITH KIDS
This Car is Not Anyone Should Own
I bought this as my first car, I'm 16, this car has been nothing but problems. The 4 cylinder they put in this model, has to be the worst engine ever made. It delivers an entire laundry list of problems to you in a big expensive mechanic's bill. It doensn't give you much pick-up for such a big 4 cylinder engine, it being a 2.3 liter. This huge engine sucks gas and does get you around very far. It you buy any model coupe of this year, buy the GT. It's not worth getting a terrible engine and getting the same gas mileage you would get with a V6. My opinion stay away from this terrible accident that GM has created. I beg of you do not buy one it will be the worst choice you ever make.
good old car
When I bouught the car it was pretty rough, 193k miles, no AC, passenger power window not in working condition, very sticky ignition, motor mount rattle, leaky sun roof, headliner falling down,,,,,you name the problem and this car was probably suffering from it. I have drove this car for several months now and have invested several hundred dollars to make the needed improvements, and it is very clear that my car was simply not taken care of. it now has well over 205k miles on it and still going strong. cranks right up in the cold without hesitation, does not use any oil, and offers about 32 Hmpg. Over all its a good old car, fun to drive and does great on gas.
my baby
I Love My Car!!
Great Car
This is a great car to drive. Its reliable, comfortable, and has some power. With its good looks and nice motor, it is the perfect car for anyone.
Why is my car leaking water?
This car has been the best car until recently, started to overheat fan wasn't running, fixed that, fixed sensor heat core dry, Water leaking into the driver's side, can't see it or feel it but floor gets flooded.
It's not a bad car for a college student
I just purchased this car for college using, with 112000 miles on it for $2000. It worth the price but I have to change the motor mount which is around $200,side windows(the same problem that all the Grand AM/GT have), seats, water mount( they charge $300 for labor!!!), and worse thing the steering rack(cost $600!!) is getting bad and I have change it soon. But overall its not really bad and can take you to any place you want to go.
Good Car
I bought this car with only 73000 miles in 05. Been very reliable, has never left me high and dry. Does have a small oil leak which I was told were loose bolts on the oil pan and needed to be tightened. Developed lifter noise last year from age but dosen't disappoint. The column went out and the wheel ended up in my lap one day but that was pretty cheap to fix. Other than that this car continues to perform excellent and I can't see myself getting rid of it. Very fun car to drive and it can withstand a beating and handle itself on rough dirt roads.
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.
