1989 Pontiac Grand Am

Pros: High reliability

Cons: No room

The Bottom Line: Get one

Review: I got my 1989 Grand Am LE about 6 years ago. I had gotten a good deal on it. I only paid $500.00 for it. It was well worth the price that I paid for it. This car has had new starter, belts, and tone ups. That is it.

It handles great. It runs...

Pros: Looks cool, goes fast, it's cheap.

Cons: Develops same problems as other 80s cars.

The Bottom Line: Fast, cheap, and you can be in control... and style.

Review: Being the huge fan of 1980s Pontiacs that I am, I felt I had to give my '89 Grand Am a review. I learned to drive on this car, and as such my driving style has been "molded" to fit the GA's style of high-performance acceleration and steering; now,...

Pros: Engine, Electrical system, Power and Price

Cons: Painting, Noise because of plastic body.

Review: The Pontiac Grand AM surprised me at all points.
it was 10 years old and it was running well and strong.
This is one of the best cars in the used market, a strong and well built engine assures us of durability and power.
If you are not...

Pros: Fast, good gas mileage.

Cons: small backseat for a sedan.

Review: My father bought me one of these cars new in 1989 while I was in high school. I had a dark green one with light green on the bottom and grey cloth interior. The car was extremely reliable and very fast as well as being good on gas mileage. I had a 5...

Pros: reliability, gas mileage, size, comfortable, good handling

Cons: occasional overheating on hot days, not very attractive, a little shaky during its final years

Review: This car has survived 10 years of the previous owner driving it, 4 years of my dad driving an hour to work everyday, and 2 months of my brother being a pizza delivery man. I recently had it passed on to me, and it worked just fine for a while. We are ...

Pros: Dependable and good quality

Cons: Noisy when older

Review: A few years ago when searching for a car for my brother, we had many problems trying to decide what the best car for our money would be. After reviewing prices and comparing luxury items in many different car packages, my father purchased a use 1989...

Pros: Reliable, fun to drive, good for teens

Cons: aluminum wheels are terrible, prone to rust

Review: I bought a used 1989 Grand Am LE when my Sunbird fell apart. What can I say...I like Pontiacs.

The first thing that caught my eye about the Grand Am was the pleasing shape of the car. I'm not a sedan lover, so the Grand Am I bought was a...

Pros: Inexpensive, nice-looking

Cons: unreliable, short-term car

Review: I see from reading "mommynew"'s opinion on their 1994 GrandAm that Pontiac failed to make improvements on this car since 1989. I USED to own a 1989 Pontiac GrandAm and the car ran fine up to 60,000 miles except for some poorly designed interior...
