poor quality of a car

I have had this car since Jan. of 04 and it has been nothing but trouble. After 1200 miles the evaporator core started leaking and had no cool air. Now recently with 43,000 miles on it the right wheel bearing is out. For as much money as i paid for it...it would be better quality....boy was i wrong. I have talked to numerous people and they have same complaints. Another thing is the resale value of this car is awful........it has no resale value at all. Anyways good luck to anyone else owning one of these piles.

Frankly, I do not believe the negative commenters, I have had mine for 14 months, and it has been a very reliable vehicle, granted I have ran into some rarely occuring transaxle problems, otherwise it's a strong, car with a peppy motor

This is a very fun car to drive. Performance is very good for a 4 cylinder. It's a nice family car with sporty looks. Rebate make it a nice alternative to many smaller compact cars.

This is my very first car, and I'm still loving every bit of it. Though we've had to change the front brakes once at about 84000 miles and just replace the signal flasher (?), which was only about $150 (But that was doing the labor from my dad). Even though it has only about a 12 gallon tank, it still gets fairly good gas mileage. I figure I got about 19 to the gallon...could be worse.

Quite a Deal

I did my research, and problems plaguing these cars since their introduction have been worked out. I checked Japanese competitors, but there just weren’t enough discounts to buy those cars. My Grand Am is loaded at $24K--I drove it off the lot for well under $18K. Unfortunately, resale on the Grand Am is horrid. Would’ve been nice if it were offered with a manual transaxle, but I have to admit this auto shifts smooth. Compared to Chrysler, GM transaxles are a dream. Overall, I’m VERY happy with my purchase. I haven’t owned a car that garnered so many looks, and was this fun to drive, since I sold my Fiero years ago.

My 18th birthday present. Purchased for $12,500 with 13K on the odo. Only a two year old car at the time. Grand Ams are overlooked because they are last-gen and built on 90s tech, but all around they are great and sized just right. You can't beat the bang for your buck with a Grand Am. Good performance around town & on the highway. I picked my SE1 b/c it didn't have the nasty plastic side body panels. Mine is just like the one in the Edmunds' picture.
