1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE 2.4 from North America
Summary:
I love the car, but is a little costly to repair
Faults:
Antifreeze leaks constantly.
The check engine light is on, and has been for a long time.
The car has 2 oxygen sensors, the dealer won't tell you this.
The compact disc player quit working after a month.
The window is broken, I tried to put it down in the winter.
The drivers door panel is busted, due to trying to put it down in the winter.
The passenger seat mover broke.
General Comments:
I purchased the car from a dealer, who got it from a lease deal.
It has broken down on me.
I had to have the alternator replaced.
Over all I love the car.
It can pick up speed great.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Update on the current status of this car- it now has 83,500 miles on it. I just got it back today, I needed new brake pads and rotors. Apparently, Pontiac ships their cars with rotors that are too thin to be turned, so you MUST buy new ones with the car. The back brakes, which were replaced 3 months ago, needed to be readjusted. The brake fluid had water in it and was possibly corroding the brake lines. Gee, another $400 down the drain.
