In 2003, I found a car I loved. A sporty red 4 door 2000 Grand Am GT. Test drove it and took it home, no problem. Three months later, it was totaled. Head on crash with an extended bed, extended cab half ton pick up truck. I refused to drive for the next three months until my dealer found me a 2001 Grand Am GT, just like my old one. I have absolutely adored this car. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I think I put so much faith in it because the older version got me through a horrible accident with only a broken arm. I have had very few problems, and would recommend it. I've had it for four years, bought it with 47,000 and it now has 127,000. Runs great. Had one issue with the key.

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 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.

I bought this car in May of 2004 and have had no major problems with it. The only thing i have had go wrong is the passanger window broke and now its going to cost $300+ to get it fixed. But other then that I like this car and think its a fun ride! But before you buy, have the windows checked!!!

I love this car I really do, when it starts. We bought this car a year ago with 7800 miles on it and have 35000 on it now. Soon after I bought it I had troubles with the car starting. It usually takes 2-3 times to start (not all the time) I've taken it into the dealership 3 times about this and they just tell me that its a computer quirk and there is no cure for it. I would have no complaints if it would just start the first time.
