Read the consumer reports!! This 2 year old car is on 4 sets of brakes, a new set of wheel bearings and new electrical system. The complaints will tell you that GM brakes are terrible and and the bearings/electrical system is worthless. When the car isn't in the shop, it is slow, and forever shaking.
se are just as good

This is my primary vehicle to drive and I am geet great gas mileage that exceds the mileage listed on the sheet. 20-25 city and 33-36 on the interstate. People complain about the 2.4 but when it drops 2 gears on the interstate it does not seem so wimpy.

I have never had any serious mechanical problems with this vehicle. I bought it pre-owned certified with 56,000. It is now up to 98,000 miles and I have only spent 700 in total for repairs, spanning five years. The only problems I had was the ignition at 98,000 miles and my power windows broke. The key to this vehicle being very reliable is preventive maintenance. If you know nothing about cars and run it into the ground like a Honda you will have problems; however, if you do the normal maintenance such as tune ups/oil changes every 5k miles, fluid flushes, and belt change you should have no problems. If you buy this vehicle and no nothing about how well it was taken care of beware.

....is a piece of GM junk! The door handles feel shoddy and the same for the unsensitive steering. The seats are thoroughly unsupportive and become uncomfortable after only an hour. Literally, everything about this car feels like it wasn't worth my wasted $12,000. The engine is harsh and sounds terrible. I've driven Hondas, and their engines sound much sweeter. The sound system is good until you turn it up over the third bar. Then, the bass gets floppy and the treble is harsh on the ears. If considering this car, please, for your own good, change your mind! The only good thing about this car is the exterior design, which is fair at best.
Pure JUNK

I bought this car used. I guess that was my first mistake. I have had numerous problems. Fuel leaks, brakes, water outlet valve keeps blowing apart, over-heating, now it has been in the shop for a month, replaced fuel pump and filter ($350) and it still won't start. Now while at the shop something with the security system is locked up. The security light is on and the car will do nothing. Anyone wanna buy it? Real cheap!! Pay it off and it's yours!!

I really like this car. It handles great, has good acceleration, and is comfortable to drive. I only have 7400 miles on this car right now, and there is nothing to complain about. I would recommend getting the GT rather than the SE.

Great car. My dads a mechanic and said it was known that almost every one will blow a headgasket mine did that was the only problem with it \, decent on gas if u drive without a lead foot, wasn't that great in winter I recommend putting studded tires on it, controlled way better in snow with them. Very sporty! My inside was loaded very Nice leather, car would heat up really quick in winter that was a plus! All in all love the car

Bought the car new. I've had the car a little over two years and 19,000 miles. I've had four problems: 1) at 9,000 miles - Check engine light - Dealership cleaned injectors. 2) Car won't start - Dealership replaced ignition switch parts (although car turned over fine). 3) 19,000 miles - Check engine light - cleaned injectors 4) Car won't start - replaced battery. So the problems were not serious, yet not starting once a year is a pain.

I bought this vehicle brand new and it has been nothing but trouble since I drove it off the lot. The warning lights on the dash light up constantly and randomly. You never can tell which lights or group of lights will come on. Of course the dealership never found a thing wrong. It's most recent behaviour is to either stall of have the engine nearly choke off each time you step on the accelerstor. I've had the system gone over with a fine tooth comb and you guessed it. Nothing so far has corrected the problem. This was the first time in my life I had both car payments and repair bills. This vehicle is a true piece of junk. Always has been and always will be.

I have owned three Grand Am's. Put over 100K miles on each one. Love them for reliable transportation and peppy performance. The quad four is as good as any foreign engine I have owned. I used to be a Datsun/Nissan owner and bought my 1991 Grand Am because I got a deal I couldn't refuse. Now I am hooked on this car.
Great Car!

I purchased the vehicle in 2002 and three years later I've spent thousands in repairs. I've had to replace the brakes (just once so far, so I guess I'm luckier than others), the power steering pump, the gas sensor (ran out but gauge said it had 1/4 tank), and the blinkers were recalled. There is also a lot of road noise so it's not a quiet ride.

When I bought this car I thought that I was getting a pretty good vehicle. Well that was until the engine started leaking antifreeze from the head gasket, which is pretty expensive to fix and if done wrong could cause more serious problems. The type of antifreeze that they used in this vehicle caused corrosion and ate away at the gaskets and seals in the engine. Most of which are quite expensive to have replaced and/or serviced, but in order to maintain this vehicle you end up sinking hundreds even thousands of dollars into it. Also, if you are ever in an accident, regardless of the severity, this car will fall apart. It has a horrible build quality.

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!

I've had this car 6 years, and I've had ALL 4 power windows stop working (won't go down or up), I had 2 repaired and gave up on other 2. I got it with 32k miles, it has 84k now, at about 60k miles, the transmission failed. Had to have it rebuilt for about 2 grand. Ignition switch failed. Power steering pump failed 2 times. Power steering rod failed. Brakes had issues at about 75k miles, and again are grinding and just don't sound/feel right. Air conditioning still works, but speed settings 1 & 2 don't work, only 3-5 work. Rear view mirror fell off (didn't even touch it), had to re- adhere it. It's still fast, still fun, but I don't know what's gonna happen next. I'm selling it soon, finally.
AMAZING first car.

If you're thinking of getting an affordable car, then I would definitely put a Pontiac Grand AM on your list. This car is a speed demon, just to warn, the acceleration takes some getting used to at first, but once you've driven it enough, it gets easier. This car is a champion to me, and I've only had it for 2 days. If you can find one for a good price tag, then its a steal. This is the perfect first car, it is sharp and not tacky or too sophisticated at all. Runs great, sounds quiet, handles well and easily. Shocks absorb any road divots or potholes, just be on the look-out for them though, never know where you will find one, especially in states with a lot of un-paved streets. A+ car!

I Bought my Grand Am in 2004, with 38k miles on it. I recently traded it in last week with 103k miles, and the dealership gave me $900 trade in value on it. I never really had any MAJOR issues, but had tons of minor issues, like 2 electrical issues, Drivers side power window broke, Both rearview mirrors broke, Oil change light constantly on (even right after an oil change), Trac system light comes on whenever I turn a sharp corner, Dials fell off, radio volume faded in & Out. last problem I had was everytime I stopped at a red light, the car would putt, like it wanted to stall, So I got a tuneup, hoping it would fix the problem, which it didn't. Overall I loved the car, but It had to go

I've had my Grand Am almost 2 years now and I'd never buy another. Beginning about 3 months ago, my Grand Am has been nothing but trouble. I've put almost $1000 into repairs. The fuel pump died, the ignition switch died, and now the a/c isn't working properly. On top of that, the turn signals only work when they feel like it, the interior lights only work when they feel like it, and the gauges don't register as they should. General Motors has surely let me down.
This vehicle is a dog!

My engine threw a rod through the engine block at only 107K miles. My driver side power window doesn't work, there is a recall on the signals (that only work when they feel like it), and my heater knob broke in half. This is my second Pontiac (the first was an '87 Fiero) and it will also be my last. I'm replacing my brakes every 3- 4 months.

0 of 0 people found this review helpful
In my opinion the Pontiac Grand Am GT1 is the worst car to ever roll off of an assembly line. While it only had 18,000 miles when I acquired it from a private party known very well to me who kept it very well maintained and garaged, both window regulators broke, the heater knob busted, constant "Check Engine" lights, terrible grinding from the front end (no it wasn't the brakes). Tried to change a headlight bulb yesterday, after an hour and half of trying to get to it ( I finally did) the headlight retainer ring broke. I will never ever buy another gm car as long as i live, especially not a pontiac, i wouldn't even buy one with someone else's money
Never again!

It looks good on the outside but the repairs bills have started. I've so far had the pleasure of 2 wheel bearings, an electrical ignition, shocks, struts, speakers (base thudding.. urgh!). Now the lovely ABS light is on?!?! I just had the brakes done! It does it's fun trick of not starting seems to be every 3-4 months, so yep not impressed. Getting it all ok before I get another hefty bill. I'm on to an import. Cute car to drive, great storage and comfy for long rides. Reliability on this on for me just is not there.

I bought mine almost 2 years ago in March 2007. It had 80k on it when purchased. I drive almost 55,000 miles per year for work. And I've gotta say this has been a dependable car. I'm currently at 192k on it and I had to replace the fuel pump 1 time. Other than that it has never left me stranded. And that is very important for my job. On the highway, I regularly got around 30mpg, which is hard to beat. The only recurring problems I've had is the TRAC light coming on, and a strange clicking sound, which I'm told is tied to the ignition system. The security light did come on around 180k but has stayed on with no problems. I've been very impressed with it, it's done the job for me.

I purchased the car with 5.2 miles on it in Oct. of 2000 since then I have traveled 43000 miles. Ok here are the problems I have had at 40 miles SES light came on it turns out it was a bad seal on the gas tank(no biggie), then next problem happened at 27000 miles when apparently late one night off of work the theft censor kicked in and left me stranded, then finally the Goodyear tires were making a grinding noise at 29000 miles 2 were replaced under warranty and I still have the other two on which now are making the same noise, warranty is up though:(. For me its not been that bad of a car.

This was my first car that I bought used for $4000 with 107,000 miles. There were a few things that were problematic to begin with -- the driver's side window was difficult to roll down and the air conditioning only worked on speeds 3-5. Eventually, the entire AC system failed and had to be repaired, which did restore the 1-2 settings. About a year after purchasing the vehicle, I had to replace both the alternator and the battery. In the past year, I paid over $600 repairing the ignition switch and the security lock column, only to find that I needed to repair the computer system due to an engine leak, meaning another costly repair, so at 124,000 miles, we finally parted.

I really like this car. I had a 4 cylinder Grand Am SE. The upgrade was well worth the expense. Nice acceleration, great sound system. Firm ride. Comfortable front seats. Had only three problems in 3 years. Battery, fan speed control and cruise control. After driving my SUV all week, I get in my GT on the weekend and feel like I am almost driving a sports car. The car is louder than it is fast. Considering market value now is aroung 9 grand, I can't even consider trading it in. Looks like I am sticking with this one for the duration.

I've had my Grand Am for over 2 years. I've purchased other Non-GM vehicles and I did not find them as reliable as my Grand Am. My uncle had his Grand Am for 12 years before he sold it to my cousin. My mother has had her Grand Am for about 8 years and it's still going strong. I intend to keep mine for a long period of time.

I really like this car but I mean is it possible to loose value that fast on a brand new car? I have had this thing for almost 2 years and another dealership offered me $6700 for it. I mean come on 2 years ago this thing cost 17K brand new...The car is comfortable but the back seat has no comfortability to it. I have also had some problems with air noise

When I saw this car on the dealer's lot I fell in love with the style in and out. Also the gas mileage was impressive but little did I know this would be the worst running vehicle I had ever owned. Bought with 10K by 28K ABS system failure, serpentine belt, valve lifters, and engine overheating made me have to say bye-bye. Of course GM did it's damnedest to make sure they fixed nothing, solidifying my decision.

I had the car for 24 months and it was in the shop 17 times for various reasons. When I could keep it out of the shop, it was powerful and very fun to drive. In the end, I actually told Pontiac that I would NEVER own another one of their products, after I have owned a total of eight of their cars.

I have not had any repairs outside of normal wear and nothing prematurely. It holds the road well and it never lacks power. With good tires well balanced, it's smooth far beyond the legal limit. I've only undercoated once, and the body is still solid. I purchased this car, off lease, just over a year old. I typically only keep a car 2 - 4 years, but I've had this one 5 years and don't have any plans to trade yet.

I loved the exterior of the car and it drove great the first six months I had it. The best decision I ever made was to buy the extended warranty because had I not I would have spent about $4,000 dollars on this car. It's been to the shop 3X in the past 4 mo. I've repaired the ignition coil module, fuel injector, spark plugs, A/C resistor blower (2X), blinker recall problem, broken a/c knob, window motor and regulator (not just one, but all 4 windows!!), side mirror fell off, ignition switch, pass lock cylinder, body control module, some sort of connectors and computer body replacement, and I've had it towed 2X!! I can't wait to sell this piece of scrap metal, but the resale value stinks!

This car was previously my mother's car, but when I turned 16 I took over the ownership of the car. At first I did not like the look and feel of the car but it grows on you. I have made several modifications to the car (grille inserts, cold air intake, decals). I plan to convert the car to rear wheel drive, put the LS9 engine in, and put in a 6 speed manual transmission. I also want to customize the interior as well. I get great gas mileage (average 28 in the summer). I had to replace the water pump and intake manifold gasket each once but I've had no problems now for about 20000 miles. Everything breaks eventually, just spend a little extra money and time to take care of the car. I wash mine 1 per week.
Very Decent Car!

I bought this car about a year ago and it had about 157,000 miles on it. The lady I bought it from used to drive down gravel a lot and I had to replace a hub and an outer tire rod... security light came on and cause my car to not start for 10 min each time as well as my idol staying at 1200 rpm but fix both problems by pulling out the ignition and cleaning the sensors. Excellent sound system and got 37 mpg believe or not the last road trip I made. It's had its ups and down and have put about $700 into it but only bought it for $1500. Take care of it and it will treat you right... if you don't, it will let you know. Mine now has over 170,000 and still runs like a champ.

Very solid car that runs great, only problems so far were covered under warranty. The starter was getting weak, and it is fine since replacement. Also, the a/c compressor was starting to lock up, causing the belt to smell, it is also working great since replacement. Overall a good looking and comfortable ride we are happy with.

On the outside, the Pontiac Grand AM GT is a beautiful car. It looks like what it claims to be; a sporty mid size coupe that's fun to drive. The interior says the same. And granted, yes, it is. When it runs. I bought mine at 32000 miles when it was 2 years old. Since, I've had nothing but problems such as: -Bad wheel bearing immediately after warranty expired : $800 -Brake caliper froze: $300 -Brake sensor burnt out, cluster needed to be replaced: $400 -Intake seals popped, leaking AF everywhere: $1200 -Fuel line leakage: $200 -Brake caliper frozen again: $300 And now the fuel pump is blown. And somewhere over the past 4-5 months the fuel economy of the car has dropped to around 23-24hwy.

I am reading about the repairs that people are having done. When the gasket went out due to the type of antifreeze, my mechanic fixed it for under $500, I have had the car into the shop a few times in the five years I have been driving it and it hasn't cost more than $500 each time. I have driven 75K miles on it and am now selling it, but only to get a car with less mileage. Just maintain it well. I have no problem with how it was built or how it runs. The antifreeze problem was unfortunate, but not expensive.

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.

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.
Nice Ride

I have owned the car for 5 years and have put on nearly 150,000 miles. There have been no negative surprises, unexpected maintenance or mechanical problems. The car runs great, remains tight and has more power than it needs.

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.
97,000 and still going

Bought this car new in 2001. Only problems was computer went out at 3000 miles. Was replaced under warranty. Have not had all the problems like most people have. (Guess I got a good one.) Did replace driver's side window motor. Of course the rear speakers are blown. Isn't everbody's?
