1990 Pontiac Grand Am LE Quad 4 from North America
Summary:
Highway robbery
Faults:
The computer was bad when I bought it as well as the crank shaft sensor. Replaced 2 alternator, 1 battery, heater core, shocks, brakes, and a timing belt.
General Comments:
This car seemed like a good deal. My best friend bought her 1991 2 days before she bought mine, and she had even more troubles than I had.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

You must have gotten a really beaten up car (abused by previous owner)
We still have 2 Pontiac Grand Ams (93 SE 4 door with Quad 4 and a 99 GA GT) both are excellent cars, best we have ever had. Gas mileage is unbelievable on the quad 4 at 450-500 miles per tank. the Gt with a smaller tank averages about 250-300 per tank.
The only thing I have had fixed on the GT is a the Low tire pressure sensor (it is currently under review by Pontiac, GM and Buick for a recall)
As for the 93, it has close to 200,000 miles on the car, its down right now because I broke a spark plug in the head, which is about to be replaced. Of course minor maitnenance stuff such as tires, brakes, shocks/struts and a new muffler along with regular oil changes etc.
I have not hesitated in either of these cars to jump in them and run them cross country.
