I see some reviews saying that their car (having been bought used) isn't reliable...well some upkeep is required to keep a car moving (duh)...Mine has been great with only the expected items (brake pads, spark plugs) being replaced. Has never failed to start and has the original battery (04) in it. Don't blame the manufacturer if you bought a used car and it isn't up to par---maintain it! I've changed plugs and brake pads and thats it for replacement items. Proper oil changes will do wonders....
good

all the people who complain about security issues with this car just need to cut the little tiny yellow wire that goes to the ignition and there will never be another issue with starting it again. its a simple and free fix. you just have to find the bundle of 3 little tiny wires and cut yellow one. seriously people dont complain about something that you can fix so easily. never had any issues with anything else other than brakes and starter which will need to be replaced in any vehicle eventually
14 years old and still kicking asphalt.

If you are looking for something sporty looking with hood scoops that rides like you are floating on a couch cushion, look no further than the 2004 Pontiac Grand Am GT with a Ram-air V6. This car has excellent traction in the winter time. The engine performs astonishingly well when floored. The Monsoon sound system is of very good quality and if you're not a fan of traction control (as I am not), you can turn it off with the push of a button. Although my car is now 14 years old is just barely over 82,000 miles, it is the best I could ever expect in a used sports coupe.

This is probably the Worst car I've owned. Only have 27,000 miles and so many things wrong from the back window popping out, body side molding coming off, overheating, transmission problem and the front bearings shot. Not to mention the service is horrible and the car doesn't hold value. It wouldnt be so bad if pontiac cared and stood behind their product. cant wait to trade it in and get a toyota
Glad to have had this for my first car.

I would say if your thinking about getting this car then go for it. My grand am has been great to me iv owned it for 4 years and only had to put about $600 in repairs while having 138,000 miles on the car. this car is very reliable and to be honest actually way cooler then i first thought. For a cheep everyday driver it is fast and fun all while using regular gas and not hurting my bank. One thing that i found to be great is that there is actually a community around this car and entire website devoted to custom grand am. just google custom grand am and you will find it. i love my grand am. not to mention the car has held its value greatly i paid $1,700 for mine and found that in its condition i could sell it for up to $2,500 after just fixing a few things and owning it for 3 whole years.

Poor gas mileage, not as indicated on sticker. Night driving very bad ligths poor coverage, even after replacing to Sylvania silver stars. Noisy passenger door has air leak at 60 mph, dealer not able to find cause. Claims that's normal. Ram air ducts in hood are ornamental only.

I bought a 04 Grand Am GT1 Coupe a few months ago, and so far besides a few issues it has been very reliable for me. I bought it with just over 100,000 miles, and the fuel pump went around 103,000 miles but $250 I think it was isn't bad. Now at almost 105,000 I had to get the ignition switch changed because the car wouldn't turn over a couple times. All in all I love this car, I've always wanted one of these since I was a kid lol. It is a blast to drive I haven't driven it in the winter yet obviously but hopefully it is as good as people are saying it is. The one thing that kind of bugs me is the turn signal ticking when I'm not using it. But that doesn't bother me as much because I either have the radio turned up or the windows/sunroof open or both. I do also love the fact I have Sirius XM as well. I can now listen to hard rock music besides just alternative crap around here by Chicago. But overall I'd recommend this car for any first experience drivers who are looking for a affordable sports car.

All in all a good car except for when the security light comes on and car doesn't start unless you leave the key in the ignition switch for 10 minutes in the "on" position. Owners manual stated this. Estimated costs to fix $425, plus labor. Needs longer warranty. Very bad electrical problems, especially with the computer. RPM gauge was messed up for half a day. Going 60 mph and running at 3,000 rpm. Would not shift into overdrive. Kinda ridiculous. 1st Grand Am had similar problems but the security light stayed on all the TIME. Air conditioner did not work.
Beware

I got my 2004 Grand Am GT with SC/T package last November. When i first got it i loved it but two weeks into owning the car i've replace the EGR, two ABS wheel hubs, a water pump, and got a hole in the muffler, so replaced that too. The GM shop told me after fixing the water pump to save my money cause my tranny is going out and my mass control arms are going bad too. All these problems and not even had the car for a year. oh did i mention i got the car with only 30 thousand miles and i drive all highway!

I love my car, but lately, if I turn off the car to run into the store (example), I have to leave the key turned on for 10 MINUTES to get that stupid light to go out so I won't be late for work!! This is ridiculous! I have already planned to start leaving earlier for work, as I have kids to drop off and errands to run. Too costly to have it fixed and the gas mileage SUX!!!
Great Car to Have

I've had this car ever since the summer of 2006 and it is a great car to have especailly if it is your first car, i haven't yet had anything wrong go with my car with is a huge plus, and I always get complaiments from people saying how nice it looks and how they would love to drive it. I have added some things to the car in which if ur like me and want more horsepower and torque you can easliy get if u replace certain parts like instead of having that ram air i replaced that with a cold air intake to add some horsepower which it did and i have also added many other parts which if u have the money you could do and my i also add this car sounds great with a pair of 12' subs

I had purchased this vehicle in October 2006. I traded in my 1996 Pontiac Grand Am gt for it. I walked into the showroom and I fell in love with this car when I laid my eyes on it. It looks and drives awesomely. It hauls. People have underestimated this car until I have proved it.

This is my second Grand Am. I like it because it is available as a 2 door, very dependable, fun to drive, good on gas, and an overall good value for the money, and it flies. I have only had to change oil and change brake pads/shoes on my previous Grand Am.
Love this car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall i love this car. I bought a 96 grand am in 1999 and i loved it so much when i traded it in, it was for another grand am gt.I do have to say the first GA was built better, never had any noise, but with my 04'GA there was a rattle noise...come to find out it was the rear bumper (a screw was loose). I just hope that when i get ready to trade this one in, Pontiac will still be making the Grand Am Gt Coupe.
GREAT CAR IF YOU GET A GREAT DEAL.

This is my 3rd Grand Am and the best one I've owned. I finally got everything I wanted with this one... leather, XM Radio, Ram Air V6, shiny chrome rims... which were not available when I purchased the last 2 cars. I get compliments every day on this car!

This is the first I have owned and so far its been a great car. I like the g6 it just lacks in body style. My own opinion GM should have just revamped the grand AM a few more ponys under the hood wouldnt hurt. the 3400 is dependable but a super charged offer would be nice.
amazing

good no major problems . 40,000 wheel hub bearing went out on the left side . It roared like a truck but it was under Waranty. fun car to drive but this is one of those cars you want a warranty that why I have the 100,000 mile power train.I have no problems since the wheel bearing. Put ventis hr II tires on. at 54615 mile she runs great. May trade her in though for a gas sipper and not a guzzler.

This vehichle has a lot of get up and go even at highway speeds. Handles well . I have ram air package with ram air hood which gets lots of looks and comments.Dash is very sporty with bright red lighted gauges which everyone likes.Some criticize the 150mph speedometer. But if your like me and like to test the limits, a 120mph speedometer would have failed me. Top speed thus far for me, 124mph with no alterations(yet). The ride is the smoothest Ive ever experienced. At 124 mph it was smooth as glass.

I love this car. I purchased it after trading in my Sunfire GT primarily because I wanted more head and leg room which the car definitely offers for a compact car. The fuel economy is comparable to my Sunfire. I've had no problems with the car at all though I'm pretty fussy about making sure that all major maintenance is done on time. I love the sound system and the general layout of the interior. Great car. I'll definitley purchase a Pontiac G6 GT down the road.

I have had 13 cars since I started driving in 1978, and this is BY FAR the best (except maybe my first car, a '71 VW Bug - but it was my first, c'mon!). It is flashy (fusion orange, to match my red hair!), sporty, a LOT of fun to drive, decent gas mileage, heavy and solid feeling (unlike foreign cars which always feel cheap to me), and an engine that feels and performs like an old muscle car (the throaty roar from the Ram Air is unbelievably exhilarating). It is a car that makes me smile every time I see it, and gives me a thrill every time I accelerate, all without making a big dent in my budget. It makes me feel like a teenager again!

I enjoy having and driving it very much. It handles excellent and the ride is very smooth. I haven't had any complaints from people who have rode in it with me. I actually underestimated it when I looked at it but when I drove it, man it drove like a soaring eagle. The color of this car is nice, it is greystone metallic. It is a subtle color for the power that this car possesses. But I am not complaining.

GM used to build solid cars What the hell happened? Save your money and purchase a quality vehicle. A wealthy friend of mine put it best..."You need not be rich to afford a BMW, but the opposite is true about owning a domestic". -Buy something well built and you wont break yourself in repairs. I'm sorry but we did it to ourselves, America. We lost the zero defect mentality and embraced the quick buck slap it together and send it out the door philosophy.
