Good at first, but it all went downhill

I bought this car with 27,000 miles on it one year old. It started out as a smooth ride with a lot of power. After one year I had to completely replace the brakes. After hiting the 70,000 mile mark, I've had to replace the alternator (very expensive for this car) and the fuel pump (also pricey). The car is constantly having some sort of electrical problem and sometimes it just doesn't want to start and has to have the computer reset. It has left me stranded too many times. I can't wait to trade it in!!! I should've listened to the guy who stopped me at a gas station and warned me that these cars fall apart after 60,000 miles

GAGT

I absolutely love my GAGT. It handles like no other car I've driven for its price. Off the line my car took my friends c230 'kompressor' (manual) to the cleaners, not to mention his Celica GTS before that. I got my car fully loaded for under $24,000. What a deal! At 70MPH my engine is doing about two thousand RPM, its a heavy car and it shows on the freeway...I can hardly feel the wind. Only bad thing is the governor...but then again, who needs to go faster than 115 MPH when the car can get you there before you know it.

I bought my 2003 grand am gt1 2 years ago. it had one previous owner. I have put so much money into this car. I take excellent care of my car, but everytime i turn around something else is wrong with it. I've had to replace the electrical box in the car. fuel pump and filters, batteries, thermostat, and now something else is wrong with it.. ABS, no trac, service vehicle soon lights are all on. For some reason I'm thinking it has something to do with the famous engine block. i've spent close to 4 grand on it in less than 2 years. yikes.

Overall, an excellent car. Pretty good power in the V6. Very fun to drive without giving up the needed driver and passenger space. Tons of standard features. Even for a sedan, it looks great!

No quality problems whatsoever. I am enjoying this car. It feels safe and sturdy. I really like the cleaned up body style of the SE...not to mention the power of the 6 cyl.

The 2003 Grand Am is not a race car by no means, but handle well and is fun to drive. It is also stylish, conformable quality automobile at a good price, especially with the $6000.00 + rebates from Pontiac.

Brakes and Rotors

The quality of this car is highly unacceptable to me. Within the first 44,000 miles, this car has gone through 3 sets of rotors and three sets of brakes. GM considers rotors a "wear item." If you have not replaced your front rotors and your mileage is above 20,000 miles, prepare to replace them soon. This car performs great, is comfortable, and is very fun to drive. If GM could produce quality rotors, this would be the perfect car.
