1994 Pontiac Grand Am SE 4dr Sedan
I got this car when I turned 16. It made me through high school & I am now a senior in college, over three hours away from home. Had to replace head gaskets around 95,000, alternator at 120,000, muffler at 135,000, and radiator at 145,000, but other than that, this car has been AMAZING! My power windows aren't exactly functional- I now have a crank window on my driver's side due to … replacing the motor so often, and the back windows never go down anymore, but other than that, I love this car. I also had the typical water in the front (due to faulty windshield replacement), and I use about a quart of oil in between changes. I'll be sad to get rid of this car- it's been nothing short of great!
I LOVE MY 1994 GRANDAM

1994 Pontiac Grand Am SE 2dr Coupe
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
Hey the GT is great

1994 Pontiac Grand Am GT 4dr Sedan
I have to say my '94 Grand Am GT is
great. I just bought it six months ago
with 112,000 miles and I've put 15,000
miles on it with no major repairs, just
brake rotors. I don't like the interior
of the car. The cup holders are built
into a fold down compartment above the
glove box that bounces around on bumps,
causing spills. Something in my dash
rattles too. I don't … like the power
window buttons in the center console
either. The V6 is awesome. I don't NEED
any more power than I have, and I
average 28 miles per gallon. The engine
is a little shaky, especially at low
RPMs. My fuel gauge doesn't work. Only
minor design flaws. The car is
definately worth what I paid for it
though.
Great Cat

1994 Pontiac Grand Am SE 2dr Coupe
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.
