Used 2001 Pontiac Grand Am Consumer Reviews
fun ride but poor quality
My car may or may not be typical, but it was in the shop four times for repairs (wheel speed sensor, fuel level sending unit, fan speed control unit, head gasket, rusty rotors, loud pinging engine when cold). Once it left me stranded on the highway. The trim was loose in places, it got horrible radio reception, winshield trim rattled in the wind, radio station tuning knob turned station #'s the wrong way half the time. Other than the poor quality, it was a good car to drive. The car has good acceleration and cornering and is fun to drive.
what i like to like
I bought this car in order to get out of another one. It turns out that I like it so much, I wouldn't have believed it either four months ago. It runs well, the service is great, and the ride compares with my friend's mercedes! The best part: The dash lights up red at night and the lights are automatic, don't ever worry about leaving lights on all night.
Overall....good
Very satisfied overall. can get 400 miles per tank when traveling. some paint chips off front and back bumper. May be covered by warrenty.
My Grand Am
I love driving my Grand Am GT......it's just a fun car to drive. Pontiac knew what they were talking about when they said they build excitment! I knew this car was for me when I got in to test drive it. This car was all about my personality. So far in the years that I've had the car, it's been reliable for me. I've done my best to keep it in the best working order that I can, making sure it gets regular visits to the dealership. If you haven't driven a pontiac, you need to find out what it's like to drive one!
lame
this car is SSSLLLOOOWWWW and handles worse than my old 94 Ford Escort!! For all the flash, it really handles poorly, leaning through corners like a truck and very non-responsive steering. I am sure this car will wear like a typical GM...rust out and be worthless in 5 years.
