Loving it
This car is a nice ride for the front and back passengers. Nice style in and out. The V6 is good, but better yet with a little bit of tinkering with the intakes and exhaust. The only gripe most Grand AM GT owners have is the fact that GM decided to put a 4T45 transmission. The GT simply needs more. A manual would be nice too.
Been a great car for 7 years now
We were shopping for a Honda Accord when we stopped by the GM dealer, we drove away in a brand new Gt Grand Am with all the bells and whistles for $7000 less than a half loaded 4 cyl Accord. I thought i would pay in the end in repairs but this car has been very reliable, we have just over 170k on it now and have never had any major problems, and the car is stupidly cheap to maintain (no timing belt service to worry about)We have had the most trouble with the power windows, maybe it's the cold Canadian winters that's hard on the window clips (we replaced ours twice now). The car performs well, gets great fuel economy, and we still get complements on the looks! Overall a good solid car for the price.
Perfect car for the college kid!
I love the car! It looks great and runs perfect. It is very fun to drive and the handling is incredible. It's great for making the trek across 3 states to college with plenty of room for all my stuff. Most importantly, it is affordable! All in all, Im very happy with it.
Great Domestic Car
I've been driving a Grand Am GT sedan for six months now and I am very impressed. It's a great car, perfect for everyday needs with some fun on the side. The 3400 SFI is a great engine and very reliable. The pricing of Grand Ams seems to be creeping upwards, but then, it is worth it in my opinion rather than to be driving an Accord with 100 million other people.
Nightmare
I've had this car since it was brand new and it's been nothing but a nightmare to own. I'm now seeing many of the problems I've had from other reviewers, including turn signal clicking when not in use,paint peeling, seals. Two weeks after purchase, the a/c went - needed air compressor and it's been downhill ever since. I only have 31,000 but have had the brake pedal assembly replaced due to car picking up speed, even going up hill, needed 2 batteries replaced in less than 3 mos., sunroof leaked, had ignition cylinder replaced 3 times because car wouldn't start; 3 days after most recent replacement, security light has been coming on while driving and dealership says can't disconnect. Run!
The Grand Am GT is AWESOME!!
This vehicle drives like a dream. It's very easy to handle.
Pontiac Owner
We have had this car for a little over 2 years now. Nothing major as far as repairs, but did have to get the thermostat replaced (covered by warranty).
So far, SO GOOD!
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!
Great Car!!!

Great Ride!
Truly a blast to drive. I couldn't be happier with the car.
