IF you go looking at Grand Am's.. Avoid the Quad and Quad 4 like the
plauge.. they run good. but when it breaks.. Its' a major PITA to get it
right again. A V6 would be OK.. just stay on top of the maintainence.
Neon won't have a nice of a ride, but a lot better handling suspension, and
more power.
Bill.. You better be knocking on some wood when you talk about that Pontiac;
especially if you have a 4 cylinder in it.
