1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE 2.4L twin cam from North America
Summary:
A sporty car with great handling
Faults:
All four of the bearings have gone out starting at 95000 miles.
The engine started to burn oil very badly and had to be replaced.
Oil filter blew apart and started spraying oil all over the road.
Rear speakers began to develop a short and no longer work.
General Comments:
I love the way the car looks and handles.
However, for a 19 year old, the repairs are beginning to get expensive.
The car is great in bad weather and always starts on the first try even in the freezing cold Michigan winters.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have the same problem with the fog light on the passenger side. Replaced it 2x's and it dies in a couple of days, changed driver side window motor, it still has issues going up and down. Control panel is next which I picked up for 15 at the junk yard. Burns some oil, but not too bad. No major problems with 115k on it.
