Over all the 2000 Grand Am has been an excellent car. Mine has over 200k miles on it with 185k of them put on by me. The car lasted up until about 189k then one of the cylinders dropped to 60% pressure and I can't use the AC when I am stopped at a stop sign or the engine will stall. Paint started peeling at the bottom of the front doors after 8 years of driving on a dirt road at 45 miles per hour for 2 miles per day. The front dash has started to lift a little from the sun light hitting it the last 11 years, and driver side window button is finally starting to act up. At 13k this car has lived up to all my expectations.
Great looks! Great quality! Great car!

Once I drove this car, I loved it. It was in mint condition. Under the car, the engine, and around the doors all rust free! And no the car was not painted. The interior was the same with no cheep plastics that break. It has the 3.4L V6 which has great proformance. It has excellent acceleration. The comfort is excellent:lots of leg room in the front and back. The sporty design, and my favourite (red dash lights) make this car look awesome. As for build quality and reliability , I've had no problems. It has great handling and a smooth ride. Its solid and doesnt have road noises. This is a great car and I would recommend it.
Amazing car for being almost 12

I purchased my car two years ago with 99,000 miles and it now has 142,000. I have had very minimal repairs. Great car, paint still looks great with the exception of minor paint chips in the hood and bumper. I love the fact this car gives me all the power and response i need. Ive driven friends new Mercedes c230 thats feels gutless and slow to respond compared to my Grand am. I plan on driving the wheels off this car. After being 11 years old, i still catch myself looking at it and admiring the beauty of it. I see lots of grand am gt's on the road and not to sound superficial, but mine is one of the best looking ones on the road. Overall i love this car and get compliments on it all the time!
Pretty decent car

I received this car in mid-2006 and have had it ever since. It just hit 200,000 miles and has still kept going (knock on wood!) I am pleased with the way it has held up. I drive an average of 25,000 miles each year so I am pretty hard on cars.
Stay far away from GM cars!

I have had this car for 4 years and I had fixed the intake gasket 3 times. I have to do brakes like twice a year. Both side mirrors broke easily. Service vehicle and engine light always on!Signals and power seat broke and there is a cracking noise when I turn the wheel. This car is a nightmare!

Purchased the GT with the Ram-air V6. I'll never forget how fun it was the 1st time I test drove it. I'm a sucker for fast acceleration, and that alone attracted me enough to fork out the 3100.00 price. It wasn't long though before realizing what every one else does. Its an electrical nightmare and found out recently the 1998-2000 models have been known to catch fire without even being started (DO NOT PARK NEAR HOUSE) The cheap plastic control knobs break easy in cold weather. The CD players are famous for flashing "error messages" and quit working around 120,000 miles. Blown head gaskets are very common around 90- 100,000 miles. So yes, it looks good, drives tight but I wouldn't buy another!!
Not bad at all after all these years

All in all I haven't had to spend much at all on maintenance over the years.. the biggest expense was the intake manifold but that didn't need to be done, just a slow external leak that doesn't harm anything.. dealer sensationalism and gouging.. lesson learned. The blinker contacts are dirty making it blink a lot, the power window just went, the fan doesn't work above 3, the radios display is dead, the power lock on the passenger side is dead.. little electronic things are starting to happen over time that I could fix myself pretty cheap and just might.. but overall I can't complain for having a car last 10 years. Starts first time, every time.. even at 30 below zero. Well built powertrain

From the outside, this car looks amazing. It looks good on the inside and under the hood, too. But...this car was a repair boat for me and everyone I know who drove one. Granted, mine had 130k when I got it. In two months, I had repaired the fuel pump, head gasket, and transmission. My aunt owned this, and also repaired a good deal on it, and she bought hers new. (water pump, transmission, radiator). All in all this car did not live up to expectations at all. It falls into a class of "cheap sports cars", but also the "lemon category".

I bought my Grand Am in '99, and she's still with me at 133,000 miles. I Love getting into this car every time. The color (navy blue), the style. There are just too many things that are falling off - both side mirrors, the overhead light, no visible clock, back window goes half-way up/down depending on mood. It's a good thing I own this car, because I wouldn't be able to afford the repairs every 3-4 months if I had to make car payments. Giving up my Grand Am will be like losing my best friend - albeit a high-maintenance friend. If I could find a way to replace all these problems to make it run for another 10 years, I would in half-a-heartbeat.

What a horrible vehicle. From the day i bought it, it was in the shop for an intake gasket then, a fuel pump, brakes, constant emissions problems, power seat, a/c, cracked exhaust manifold and the problems continue. No wonder imports retain value. With the quality of gm cars, there is no competition for imports. Keep-up the "great" work GM.
Great Car!!!

I absolutly love my Grand Am. I have had only one problem at the dealership - - clogged fuel injectors and (i am told) that is probably the previous owner's fault in putting cheap gas in the car. It's a blast to drive and in my humble opinion, although I might be in the minority, it looks GREAT!

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.
Terrible service from Pontiac Dealers

I've had the 2000 SE1 for just over 2 years. The doors are not lined up and paint has chipped on the doors because of it (in the first 10000 miles). Dealers won't help at all, even the place I bought it. Car was in the shop 3 times for the check engine light. I finally figured out ON MY OWN that the gas cap wasen't tight enough. (smart mechanics) Now, it won't start and has been in twice for this problem in 2 weeks. My entended warrenty didn't even cover half! It was fixed without me ever okaying the extra cost. I fought it and lost. I am so fed up with Pontiac not standing behind their product! Never again.

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

Well this car can be a hand full. Things to watch out for. First off that oil pressure sensor at the top of the spark plug valley. It will seem like the valve cover leaks but more likely the switch. It leaks from inside of it. The housing for the spark plug they like to crack. Sometimes it's not even visible. Water pump just watch that mother. This car is definitely for mechanical inclined. I'd use 5w20 since it has small oil wells. Deff do ur oil changes every 3000 to 5000 miles at most. Other than that has okise mpg and power they ride well and shift good. They can be very reliable or leave you on the side of the road if neglected.

I fell in love with the Grand Am when my grandmother owned one, and let my family use it at the time our old Plymouth broke down. I threw the car up on a pedestal and practically worshiped the idea. Today, I'm here to tear that idea down. Since buying the car LESS than a year ago when it only had 50,000 miles on it, it has given me nothing but hell. The brakes are poor, three power windows broke down, the head gasket went ($850), tie rod good-bye, CD player Error 20-ed out... and the PassLock system believes I'm the enemy! Granted, the car is fun to drive and looks sleek, but the amount of money invested is NOT worth the pain unless $3000 is in your budget in a six month span.

After owning a Grand Am GT for a year that I never wanted to buy in the first place. I have to say I am very pleased, aside from the cheap plastic clips used to hold the windows to the track that continue to break (JB Weld makes a good permanent fix) this car has been nothing but great. It has survived a year of my "all or nothing" "hey wanna race" driving without a sputter. I drive a lot and i drive hard and the Grand Am continues to deliver. It has the styling and performance I want in a car and the comfort and economy me wife wants. I never wanted to own a Grand am before this one. Now we plan to sell our Grand Prix and get another Grand Am GT preferably the SCT.

Over all this car has been so realiable to me. The body was in rough shape when I got the car, but it just keeps running. I bought the car in Summer 2010, it is now spring 2013, the car has 178,478 miles on it! Still kick ass. I've only had to replace a water pump (15 Dollars Brand New, Advanced Auto Parts), a starter (50 Dollars Brand new Ebay), & When I bought it the driver side window never worked. 70 dollars and an ebay search got me all new parts for both driver and passenger windows. Both work flawlessly now! also got two brand new headlights for 60 bucks, wasn't needed but wanted. LOVE THIS CAR! Still driving this car!

I bought my 2000 Grand Am new. It has had 4 (yes 4) rack and pinions. It has had all 4 window motors replaced 2 times each and now another one is broken. All totalled, my warranty company has paid almost $10,000 in repair bills in 4 years! Not to mention a new transmission, 3 fuel pumps, rotors (recalled). The trim around the windshield keeps coming off. The paint has had to be done on the trunk and wing. What a piece of crap - I don't think I could even give it away at this point - nobody would want it.

Great Car! Had to replace a bigun' that was stolen and tried a few. My wife loved it. I wasn't sure even after buying it(if Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!). 3 yrs later I'm glad her emotion overruled me. It's a fantastic car. It's a lively, road warrior that's a joy to drive; always responsive no matter what. Almost beach season and the family's eager to use the moonroof and stereo every Saturday. The car's big enough but not too big; cute enough for her; exciting enough for me. My 12yo son is already asking if he's going to "inherit" the car when he's old enough. I'm sure it's safe enough, but I'm definitely not ready to let him have all the fun!

I admit it is nice for an American car, and it handles very well. The exterior has a very exciting look and the interior definately gives you the sports car feeling. The chrome wheels add that accent in which other than tint your windows, all you have to do when purchasing this car is turn on the ignition and drive...the car will do the rest.

When I purchased this car,it had 165k miles. My Volvo's pmts were $400.00 a month, and repairs on the Volvo were never less than $1000-$2000., just to keep it on the road! For the last three years. I was never told EXACTLY what was wrong, but they definitely wanted their money! Since the Pontiac purchase, I have replaced the ignition switch,$400.00, and now know that the intake manifold gasket will need to be replaced- the a/c needs to be fixed, and the passenger side windows no longer roll down- must fix soon. Live in MS! All this is STILL less than I have put into my USED Volvo over a one year period. I think that I will live with the Pontiac- did I mention that I purchased for $1000.00?
Fun so far!

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.
Awesome Ride for the Price!!!

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!

I have the V6, almost all the frills. Fun to drive BUT horrible to maintain. Pontiac has been very accommodating with repairs but they're needed so often. My car now has 42,000 miles - only put 6,000 on in one year. Beyond normal maintenance, I’ve fixed the compressor, head gasket, drivers side window (fell into the door), blinkers that quit on left hand turns, clock display that occasionally disappeared, brakes, and now it needs new struts (over $3000 in repairs on things I'm told shouldn't yet be broken). Never dreamed I would want to trade it but now I'm looking. Terrified of what I might have to spend to keep it.

Good buy for the money, but now becoming an expense. Driver's widow motor went out 2 years ago, then air conditioner stopped working a little later. Repair estimates came in starting at $800 so I drove around with no air in Atlanta's worst heat in history! The one honest mechanic left in the whole world (Poston Motors, Cumming, GA) bypassed a switch and voila - air! And an oil change: Less than $100.00! Now, dashboard coming apart, both outside mirrors bout to fall off, automatic door buttons & mirror adjustment have fallen through the door panel & yesterday, interior rear view fell off! City mileage: bad, Highway mileage: good Forcing pick-up speed too fast can damage computer.
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.

This was definitely the car of my dreams! Safety is a definite in this vehicle -- the car has been hit four times in the past two years that I've owned it, however, it's come out in the end looking like a charm and still functioning perfectly -- and occupants sustained only minor injuries. This is remarkable considering that the first accident involved a Ford Explorer hitting the passenger-side between the two doors with their front right fender. $13,000 worth of damage, but easily repaired, and again very little injury to the occupants. Gas mileage is great -- lots of room for lots of people and furry friends (we have two dogs).

Before buying my 2000 Grand Am, I owned a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire, and even though it was old and a little rough around the edges, it never failed me... even with having 250,000 miles on it! For that reason, I felt secure with purchasing another Pontiac, the Grand Am. I've had this car for 6 months without any major problems. I purchased it from a friend with 170,000 miles. It now has almost 180,000 miles on it, and I have only had to replace a wheel bearing, blower motor for the a/c, and the drive belt, which is expected from a car with that many miles. None of which were expensive at all! They are neat little cars and I plan to keep mine until it dies! Too bad they stopped making Pontiac's...
Love it!

Bought this car with 62000 on it in 2002 and now it has 138000+. It runs great, only one major repair, front struts, the rest has been basic maintenence. I do agree with a previous writer that the side view mirrors tend to become loose, why, I dont know, but plan on driving it till it drops! I would definitely buy another!

I bought my grand am in June of 2008 with 114,000 miles on it. I had one problem when the gas cap didn't get tightened up properly and the car wouldn't start. But I have had no other problems with it. It's reliable, gets ok gas mileage and I would buy another one just newer next time. I am a big fan of GM products and this car is great. I love the way it looks and the sound system is awesome.

I can not understand why a recall has not been issued for the passlock system! I googled the problem with my car and saw hundreds of people having the same problem as I have with having to wait ten minutes ,randomly , to start my car. I was docked 15 minutes of pay last week because I was 45 seconds late for work one morning.! I left the house at 6:30 am and twice in a row my car made me wait ten minutes to start it...even though I live just a few minutes from work with half an hour to spare to get there ( I thought ) I ended up being late. I called the nearest Pontiac dealer and was told there was no recall because it is not a safety issue.

I bought this car about 5 months ago. It ran much better than I anticipated; for a 4-cylinder that is. Gas mileage averages about 23-25 mpg. I know I can be a lead foot, but my 6-cylinder Taurus did the same mpg. Recently, I had to replace the catalytic converter- CC(covered under warranty) The mechanic noticed a bad transmission leak. He thinks that some of the knocking that I attributed to the CC was actually the torque converter in the transmission. I await the bad news. Also there is a groan at times when turning the steering wheel severely at low speeds.
Terrific from GM

I had left GM for many years and it took this car to bring me back singing its praises. It is both beautiful and quick and 30+ MPG is easy to take too. Had a hard time deciding between the Grand Prix and AM and am happy with the choice, because it handles lighter and quicker. GP is softer but still a great car also. Thanks Pontiac.

I love my gramd am. Sure a few things have gone wrong but nothing serious whatsoever. The check engine light goes on whenever I drive over a large bump in the road but my mechanic just said that's because something is getting stress put on it and sending a signal to the engine saying it needs to be fixed when it actually doesn't. Pontiacs have a lot of computer codes inside of the car and thats why a lot of these reviews say "my check engine light is always on". Other than that I love this car. It has a Nice pick-up and has awesome fuel economy.

It's a nice little car, but the quality could be better. Our company has leased many of these cars and we have had numerous electrical and brake problems. Other than that, not a bad little car. Personally I would get a Saturn, Honda, or Nissan instead (If I had to buy one).

It looks great. Have owned it for 2yrs & although it looks really nice, there are problems. As soon as the 36,000 mi warranty was up, there was a crack in the fly wheel - VERY expensive. Thsnks to the dealership, they covered it. There have been electrical problems. , the blower motor went on speed 1 & 2 -t $100 to fix. The drivers side window would not go up or down - $300 to fix. There are other signs that there are pending electrical problems. Now the car wont pass inspection because of a bad wheel bearing, NO MORE - so needless to say, I am trading it before it kills me financially.

I HATE TO SELL IT, BUT I HAVE TO MOVE UP TO AN SUV NOW TO HAVE MORE ROOM FOR OUT GROWING FAMILY. I WILL MISS MY GRAND AM...:(

I got this car 5 years ago with 60,000 miles it now has 123,000 and it was fine up until a year after I bought it. Then it became trouble. My side mirror just randomly fell off, the inside dash is falling apart for no apparent reason, my dome light fell out just the other night when I closed the door! I've replaced the fuel pump, the oil pan, the radiator hose, 2 car window motors, a tail light, the stereo system twice, blinker fuse box, and now the head gasket is offically pooing out! I hate this car with a passion. I believe it is the devil! Also, I started by getting great gas mileage and now I can barely get 24mpg on the highway! And I get maybe 16 in town!

Never again! I've had this car in the shop 9 times in almost 3 years. Mostly electrical problems. Many times the dealerships were very difficult to work with and wouldn't fix it on the first try. When the car is running, it is a great vehicle. I drive easy highway miles and hope to get at least 150,000 miles out of this car, but I'm not holding my breath. Be warned!
Looks nice, not so reliable......

Luved the car at first, very first new fast car... Have always done regular maintance,used only fully synthetic oil,treated this car like my baby, Have brought this car in more times than I want to admit, luckily the dealership talked me into the full warranty or I would have been hosed, the power sterring pump went out, alternator at 60,000, abs light has come on twice to be fixed,anything that was electrical went out!!! signals, daytime running lights,fuel gage, and of course the most expensive the tranny... I luv the looks of it and it got me lots of looks, fast, but just really dissapointing with everything that has gone wrong with it.
