1995 Pontiac Grand Am SE 3.1 from North America
Summary:
I like it!
Faults:
I bought the 1995 Grand Am just last month. It had a low end knock, but I wasn't too concerned about it at the time. I had a motor from my previous car, a 1996 Chevy Monte Carlo, that I knew would work if something happened to the motor in the Grand Am.
So anyhow, two days after I bought the car, the motor died. Boy I wasn't expecting it so fast, but hey it happens and I knew I was taking that risk.
Overall I am happy with the car. It is in excellent condition inside and out. I can't complain, not even with a blown motor because I only paid $1300 for the car, and I was made aware of the problem with the knock at the time I bought it.
The motor from the Monte Carlo is going into the Grand Am now, and I look forward to having my car back. As far as those with the Quad 4 motor, sorry to hear about all the problems. I guess I am partial to the 3.1 - I would absolutely buy another car with that motor without blinking twice.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I've said this before here and I'll say it again. It's an 11 year old car. You are going to have issues with any vehicle as it starts getting to the end of it's life cycle. This is normal, your expectations are not.
