Used 1999 Pontiac Grand Am Consumer Reviews
Love it!!
bought this car about 2 years ago, first car i've ever held over a year. well past the 75,000 mile mark now. I keep it on the highway. it handles well, it hugs curves and corners. i must say you should be an experienced driver to own one of these or else you can't fully appreciate it. great braking even when brakes are needed, and even for a 4-cylinder, great acceleration. i've only been beat by a really souped up cobra w/manual transmission (i have automatic). the body design has made my friends envious, and one of my enemies had the nerve to buy one after seeing mine! he got a 2002 though, which isn't as cool.
Could Be Better
Power seat went out after 15 mos (why up/down power but forward/back manual?) Have replaced 3 window motor units. Intake manifold gasket blew. Finish on plastic bumper and spoiler is flaking badly. Rear view mirror fell off after 1 year. Rear light assembly leaked and bulb bases corroded.

Great Car, Great Fun!
I love my Grand Am, I have gone across the country in it, and it has been a pleasure to drive, very good sound system, handles very well!
The best car I've ever owned
Never failed me. Few repairs and fewer problems. Car is amazing. Reliable and sound. Great engine, great acceleration, wonderful handling, beautiful body, powerful engine, great fuel usage, sleek design, great red dash, dashboard ignition, and many extras. Overall the best car I have ever driven.
Unreliable
This car was a lot of fun when I first got it. I kept it for 8 years. It was never reliable. It had problems from the day I drove it off the lot. Eventually the warranty expired and I couldn't afford to keep up with all the maintenance. I kept up with reasonable maintenance and traded it in for a new Civic when it became too unreliable/expensive to keep.
