ok car
This Grand Am is like many others. The quad four engine is very strong for a four cyclinder car, yet is likely to suffer from cracked heads. Luckily we had an extended warranty or it would have been over $1,000 to fix. Car lost performance after 150,000 miles. Always kept up with fluid changes. Would I buy again? No.
Hunk of junk
Thee car was nice and solid ride engine and trans were strong then little by little everything started to go bad fuel pump coils water pump ( located between the exhaust manifold and the block ( if that tells you anything) now all mounts decided to go out almost forgot the ignition control module front suspension shot out the ac went out in less than 3 months and the car had only 116k miles put it like this the trans out lasted the car
Poor Beater
I inherited this car from my mom. wasnt very inthusiastic cuz it looks ugly and is slow. it was reliable while my mom had it but im sure 11 years took a toll on it, especially after i started driving it(its my first car). i wouldnt reccomend this car to anybody except old ladys and blind people. just thought id add my two cents.
great car, never dies!
great car, got 242K Kms on it and it will take me that many more. All i changed was brakes, oil, usual stuff.
Hope You Like to Spend Money
I got this car as a graduation present in 2002. It came with 70,000 miles on it. It now has 114,000 miles and its sitting in my driveway - practically dead. SO many things have gone wrong with it over the years. New alternator, new window opener thing, new muffler, new rotars/brake pads, those are just the repairs I can remember. Right now the brake system is failed, there is something wrong with the fuel injector, and it smells really bad after I drive it. Maybe newer Grand Ams are okay, but this thing has been nothing but a burden to me. I wouldnt recommend getting one with high mileage. Its just not worth it.
my second grand am love it
great car loves curves and owns em. milage is high to a tank. nice size tank (15 gal.) air and heat work great works well love the sound system in it. all original parts. 117,000 miles now. put on 4 in the past 4 months. love my car
great car with little trouble.
I've owned this car from day one off the lot and now it has over 168,000 mi on it. I am on my third set of tires and brakes. no major problems to date. I think the key to the reliabilty is keeping up on the maintanence i.e.. oil changes,trans fluid and filter done on time. still have the same muffler which for me is unusual considering the mileage. virtually no external body rust and this car has been kept outdoors for the better half of the past 9 yrs. hope to get over the 200,000 mark.
GrandAm will be my next choice
Great car.....lots of use with good gas economy. Only complaint is weak head design. Bad for blown head gaskets or cracked heads.
93 Grand Am SE 3.3L
All in all a good car. 3.3 L engine is very durable. I have a friend with one with nearly 200K miles. Interior is over styled would prefer a more practical interior design.The suspension shows its economy car roots by thumping over any road surface that isn't perfect. Had problem with transmission m torque converter modulator but it was reasonable enough to fix(under $200)at A&F Transmission in Haskell NJ. MPG is excellent on highway but falls off a lot around town. Have over 90000 miles and except for the trans modulator and alternator replaced at 75k the car has been trouble free.
Grand Am 01850
Vehicle good but had small proble with head gasket
