1994 Pontiac Grand Am SE Quad 4 from North America
Summary:
You either will love it or hate it..
Faults:
Brakes almost killed me after completely failing with no earlier warning of wear. I would think this is a serious problem...
Windows of course, like many others, just do not work.
Haven't had any gasket problems, but I do believe any time now I will.
Engine runs very cool.
General Comments:
Car overall runs fine, but the brakes are very hazardous to the driver.
Looks good, feels good and really has all the luxuries you need to get from one place to another.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Agreed, you HAVE to get the 3.1 V6 for this model. I just bought one used with only 25000 miles on it and have put about 20000 on it. I've had to make a few non-engine repairs (including 1K for a new rear-axle), but the engine has given me no trouble and runs like a dream. Accelerates with attitude. Real easy to change oil & air filters. If a mechanic anywhere wants to change your PCV valve, tell him you'll do it yourself because it's a cinch, and the part only costs about 3 bucks. My only complaint is that the suspension and ride isn't very great. A small bump sometimes feels like a speed bump at moderate speed (45+).
