1993 Pontiac Grand Am SE 3.3 V6 from Puerto Rico
Summary:
Reliable Pontiac Grand AM SE
Faults:
Mainly replaced brakes, suspension, thermostat, radiator, tires, change coolant twice a year, change transmission fluid every 30K miles, change oil every 3,000 miles, change brake fluid every 75,000 miles, change power steering pump at every 80,000 miles, changed alternator, starter, maintain it by spraying CARB Cleaner spray into the manifold intake suction to clean out manifold, (stop hesitation, add gasoline cleaners into the gas tank every 2000 miles, keeps injectors clean and fuel filter. Wax it every week. Still running at 279K because since I first got the car, I did my own maintenance and all this pays off. I am not lazy because my car is not lazy neither, but if I become lazy, my car then becomes lazy and has a heart attack.
General Comments:
This car since I first got, it has really been there for me when I need to start, and accelerate , and stop. This does well in cornering and at high speeds. It has really COLD A/C, and real smooth riding. I have added new seats and carpet and smells like new. The engine is very strong still & transmission, and very quiet, though not quiet when I first got it, but still quieter then those that have like 100K, like my brother's Pontiac.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I will never stop loving this car!!!
When I fist got this car it had a whole crap load of problems because of the previos owner. Broken door, bad tires, over heating, and others. But with a little help from mechanics in the family its running awsome! I have found if you take care of this car by getting routine oil changes and the other stuff. It will be running awsome for a long time. I have to agree this car looks awsome and is great on the gas which is a huge help now.
