Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Lots of standard features, roomy interior, crisp handling.

Cons

Five-speed manual no longer available, cheap interior pieces, iffy crash test scores.

What’s new

The sedan has been dropped from the lineup along with the base four-cylinder engine and the manual transmission.

Edmunds says

A viable import alternative, but don't expect Camry- or Accord-like resale values or build quality.

2005 Pontiac Grand Am SE Fleet 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 4A)

I'm not sure how many people are going to look at a review on a 7 year old car but here is mine. My dad bought A V-6 version of this car in '05 almost new, however it was used as a rental car. The only problems we ever had with it were the windows came off track (not a big deal you can fix it yourself), the rear passenger window it dead no movement at all (happened this year), and when i …

2005 Pontiac Grand Am SE Fleet 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 4A)

We bought our Grand Am used with 21000 miles in 2006. It has 71000 on it now, it has been quite reliable. The only issues have been: the turn signal switch clicking (the factory put too much grease, I just removed some with a q-tip and it went away) and a battery. Otherwise it has been a good car. It is hard to see out when backing up, and it has a lot of road noise.

I am a 54 year old woman who has had nothing but Pontiac's. I wanted the 2005 Grand Am because it was the last year they were making it. I bought it new. I loved my 89 and love this one even more!! You cannot go wrong with a Pontiac!
