Article Abstract:
General Motors Corp's 1992-1998 Pontiac Grand Am models have been far more successful than their cousins at GMC's Buick and Oldsmobile divisions as they provide the right blend of image and price. Acceleration with the base 115/120-horsepower Quad OHC is only adequate, and the engine becomes rough and raucous above 3000 rpm. Later four-cylinder and V-6 engines provide excellent acceleration, however. All engines are fairly fuel efficient. An optional handling package in the SE provides improved road manners without added, undue harshness.

Article Abstract:
Ford Motor Co's redesigned 1997-1999 F-Series pickups are quieter than full-sized trucks from General Motors or Dodge and also ride more comfortably. On the highway, the F-150 delivers a stable and comfortable ride with little of the bounciness and pitching typical in most pickups. Workmanship, exterior, fit/finish and interior materials are good overall. The F-150 may be considered outstanding in its class despite challenges from new, competing products for rival automakers.
