Used 2000 Pontiac Grand Am Consumer Reviews
Snappy
Love the car, just a 4 cyl at 155 hp however at 80 mph it sits at 2400 rpms ... great trans and power bands. Got it at 190,000 was worried for the price I'm at 267,972 and purrs like a cat. Always say it depends on who had it first and the level of car. Almost any car can be great. Exp a Ford Taurus junk.... hoping to hit 300k plus

have enjoyed this car
This was my first brand new car, and it has been reliable and very fun to drive. Had 4 years, with 50K miles, haven't had many problems. Got my first bad suprise when I had to replace a tire, almost 160 for one! My fuel filter and pump went out, left me on the road on Thanksgiving, $800 repair!, advice, replace the fuel filter every year, this is not listed in the manual. Also, what is up with the brakes? Mine make noise, especially when it is humid. Also my pads are warped because GM used cheap brakes for production. Hibdon says they are fine, but I still have to put up with the noise.

Not a bad car, but...
I've had my Pontiac for 7 years, and put over 120,000 miles on it. It's fairly comfortable, quick enough for daily driving and fun to drive. Reliability is... okay. It's had intake gaskets, power steering pump, fuel pump, water pump, power seat motors, front power windows replaced twice each, rear power windows replaced and a new BCM computer. It looks like junk with peeling clearcoat and disintegrating dashboard, but it starts first try and gets me to my destination with no fuss. Gas mileage averages mid-20's, but that's mostly my fault as I like making the V6 work hard.
Honestly speaking......
I just got this car (80,000 mi.) About a month ago. After reading some of your reviews i'm scared to death... It's been good to me so far. I did have to replace the turn signal and the brakes are a lil squeeky. But overall it hasn't been a problem. The gas mileage is ok, but i've had better. Thank god i got a 2 year warranty on this thing. Hopefully i won't need to get it fixed as often as you guys have. I love the car. But i guess i'll update this thing in about 2 years. From the 94 nightmare ($500 every 2 months) saturn sl2 i had. This is a big improvement...Trust me!
wasn't perfect ......
When I first bought the car it had a bad pull to the left at speeds over 50 mph. Pontiac said it was torque steer. Took to local chevy dealer where a buddy works and found the left strut was not installed correctly. And Pontiac just blew me off.
