This is the second pontiac Grand Am I have owned and they are great. The first Grand Am-a 94-made it to 199K miles with minimal repairs. I will only buy Grand Ams from now on.

My Grand AM SE is a 2003 with only 32507 miles and it can really get up and go.

Can't GM get it right

Looks good fun to drive; Many problems 1) pass lock 2) brakes 3)water pump 4) fuel pump If GM would make cars that did not continually FAIL. They could make money on selling cars. Brakes - were bad from fac. they didn't even clean the disks ( still greasy) ; Pass lock may have worked it they lubricated the cylinder: Water pump - they put this on the timing chain- Very bad design! Fuel pump - in the tank Very bad design. I think GM could design a good car they just chose not to!

I was worried that I would wish I had a v-6 but this 4 cylinder is plenty peppy. I am still suprised at how well this vehicle rides and handles since it it the base SE model. Great car.

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.

Some problems

I had to replace two or three parts of the ignition switch assembly, the battery, the rotors, the mirror adjustment joy stick, rear main seal, engine cradle (at less than 70,000 miles!), fuel pump, struts & strut mounts, all before 100,000 miles! Even with all of these repairs I plan on keeping it for my teenage son to drive..that way if he wrecks it..it won't be a big loss..

It's a Good Point A to Point B Car

Overall, the 2004 Grand Am is a good car. I typically drive about 36,000 miles per year, and it has been sufficient for me so far. I like the Monsoon sound system, along with the MP3 capability. However, the overall stlying of the car hasn't changed much in several years, and some of the structural design seems somewhat cheap. I take very good care of automobiles, but this one, after only about 4 months is already showing some wear and tear. I'm not knocking the Grand Am....like I said, it has been a pretty good vehicle for me so far.

Too bad it's an automatic

This car is a great "family" vehicle that doesn't look it! My wife and I are very happy with it. There is plenty of room in it for a car seat and all the items that go along with a baby. Great handling, acceleration, and feel. There is one downside to the vehicle. A car this sporty should have a 5 or 6 speed manual tranny as an option on the V6 motor.

The Car is very nice looking,and fun to drive, however we had problems right off with the A/C- dealership refused to fix it, so car was not truly "certified used" a bit upsetting, brakes have been fine so far, the car is smaller inside then it first looks, we have a hard time fitting the rear facing child seat, and latch system not recommeded for use in the middle of the back seat. Impressive trunk space- Overall, nice economy sedan- but don't think I will buy pontiac again.
