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.
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!

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.
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.

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.
A beautiful disaster

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.

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.

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.
Awesome Ride for the Price!!!

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.

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?

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 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!

Lease is coming due and I have mixed feelings. I love the car but I'm looking at that 350Z and...hmmmm. Fun to drive. Awesome color (midnight metallic blue). Great sound. I hear a little rattle on the right side I need checked and the fuel pump went early on (replaced by warranty). Brakes changed twice. Otherwise..no problems. I've even been on the same set of tires for 50,000 miles! 4 cylinder not bad.

This car in my opinion has been everything i could ask for. Since i have bought it I have had absolutely no problems with it at all, I take it in for the oil change and that is all i have to worry about. This car is not only reliable, but it has the looks as well. I would highly recomend this car to anyone who was in the market.

This car has been a dream to own! I bought this used in the end of 2000 and have had NO problems with it. The interior was so comfortable, the drive so wonderful, I am having the hardest time finding another car to compare. Visibility is great in this car with oversized side-view mirrors and for a 4 cylinder, boy does this car have pep! You don't even need the V6.

I just got this car two weeks ago to replace a 2000 SE-1 which I got in January of this year and was totalled in an accident in September. I love this (these) car(s)! The handling, power, ride and styling are the best I have ever owned in a vehicle. The layout of the instrumentation and accessories are very user friendly and easy to understand and use.

I have had this car for almost 4 yrs and drive the heck out of it with over 80k now. It's been through every state from east coast to TX and all kinds of weather with never a problem. I'm out with all the SUVs in the snow. I tow a 3,000lb boat, and the car performs like it's towing very little. The extent of my maintenance is that I've replaced tires once and brakes twice, a window and heat blower motor, some antifreeze wiper blades, lamps and of course many oil changes.

This is the best car I have ever owned, Every feature is so perfect that it seems surreal. I have the 3.4 liter RAM AIR V6 and I have not been overtaken by anyone! The ETS comes in handy while leaving the line by eliminating wheel hop. The steering wheel cruise control and stereo buttons provide a lazy mans dreams. The seats give all the support and comfort I need without being too sloppy while maneuvering. This car can turn heads if configured right. I have a ram air hood, chrome wheels, tint and high perf. exhaust along with some other performance mods on mine and everyone says "Wow thats one bad car man!" to which I reply, "Thank you!" with a smirk of superiority.

I love driving this car yet have had many large problems with it. I have heard that Ponitac Grand Ams and Prix tend to have a lot of electrical problems, yet mine had many more than that. Six months into having the vehicle I needed to replace my power steering pump. I just replaced a fuel pump and a day later needed a new intake manifold gasket because my antifreeze was leaking (about a gallon or two a day). The fuel pump caused a lot of problems because my car continued to break down yet mechanics found nothing wrong several times. I have put as much money into fixing my car as I did buying it, and I still need new antilock brakes.I would suggest buying a newer year or different vehicle.

this car is a real head turner. It has enough power to suck you back in your seat when you tromp on it. The seats are extremely comfortable and all the controls are within easy reach. There is very little if any road noise and she handles like a dream. If you like a nice, comfortable ride but also like to be the grandma that turns heads this is the car for you.

I have my Pont for 7 years had no problem. When it hit 119,450 miles the transmission broke down. I sent it to mechanick and he said it was factory defect. He showed to me that old transmission and I could see that it cracked exacly in the middle all round the transmission. OK I asked him to change and get another one with 80,000 on it. Which hi did. I was driving it for a year. Big oil consumption. In 3000 miles i had to add 2.5 quars of oil. When it was 130,000 My motor broke down in the middle of the higway. I barely got to my brother's house. And I am not fixing it. What, Do i have to change motor and transmission every 130,000 Miles?

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!

I bought this car brand new & drove it 60K miles until it was totalled after being hit at 60 MPH (I was doing 35) in a semi-T-bone on the drivers side by a DUI in a Tahoe. My injuries were less than expected considering it took jaws of life & 45 minutes to extract me. Both axles were broke off. But the car protected me and my passenger!! Car ran perfectly with zero problems. Big- O brakes never lasted long - was it them or the car?

The car is a blast to drive, when it isn't in the shop having the front brakes worked on! I'm very disappointed with Pontiac in the brake department. I've had my 2000 GT in the shop four times in 1 1/2 years because of brake problems. One would think that GM would have taken care of the poor brake design by now, with all of the warranty work they are paying for. Because of this I will never buy another Grand AM!
Great car, even for families!

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).

I bought my car with 102k at 2005 and it's still running strong till today with 165k in 2009 when i first got it i noticed the temp always stays high,there was a clench in the shifts and my oil place change place advised me to sell it whenever i get a chance..the car used to stop while running and the shifts was pretty rough..my mechanic changed the throttle sensor ($50 part)..and the car never gave me any problems sence..smooth shifts fun ride I only does my oil change on time and my annual tune up in time . Changing the brakes, rotors, the battery, the CD player and couple of fuses were all the work I did in 4 years.

Pontiac does not stand behind their vehicles. While the car looks great, it's a nightmare to own. I promise myself that I will never buy from GM again (new or used). This car has endless electrical problems. My next car will be Japanese! There seems to be too many known problems with this car (in general) but not recognized by Pontiac / General Motors.

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!

For being an SE, not the sportier GT, it handles quite nicely, and has a smooth ride too. The v6 makes enough power to smoke the tires if you're interested to know. Mine happens to have 130,000 miles on it and I get throttle happy with it sometimes anyway. It makes Tauruses look lethargic, and Honda Civic, hah, is that a sedated hamster under the hood of those things? In all seriousness, for being rated at a rather low 170HP, the 207c.i. v6 has more than enough torque to compensate. There's also performance parts if stock just isn't good enough. If you think American cars are crap, you're wrong. I've had no problems since I've had it. Pros- it's quick, girls like it Cons- still FWD

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.

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.
Why not a recall??!!

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.
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.
