1997 Pontiac Grand Am GT 3.1 V6 from North America
Summary:
Awesome performance for the price
Faults:
Since I have bought this car I have had only one major problem with it.
The head gaskets on it began to leak about 2,000 miles after I bought it. This problem was easily fixed by $320 dollars and a little work.
I have only had one other problem with the car. That problem is of course the brakes and rotors. But that problem is only caused by my driving style. I hit the brakes at the last second possible so I end up being the reason they overheat and warp.
General Comments:
Since I have bought this car, I have had nothing, but a great time with it.
The car handles corners perfectly for me. One little twist of the wheel shows how responsive this car is.
I will willingly say that I am a lead foot for both acceleration and deceleration. This car however, every time I "punch" it bounces back ready for another round.
Even without the modifications I have performed on the car, its looks are very sharp. The car has a mean aggressive look with abilities to match.
This car was definitely worth the money I purchased it for.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I thought I was the only person whose check engine light would not go off, seems like everyone has this problem with this year and model! Diagnostics never finds anything!
