I did my research, and problems plaguing these cars since their introduction have been worked out. I checked Japanese competitors, but there just werent 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. Wouldve 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, Im VERY happy with my purchase. I havent owned a car that garnered so many looks, and was this fun to drive, since I sold my Fiero years ago.
Great car!

The car looks nice with nice curves and a sporty design. The V6 engine has lots of get up and go for only 170 horse power the engine is 3.4 in size with classic push rod OHV type. Sadly the V6 only comes in a automatic 4 speed transmission with lower gear selections. Interior is made of cheap plastic with the centre console feeling little cheap and the door cards and the dash all covered in a soft foam type material. The car has no special radio just a radio and CD player with basic climate controls. The special features of the car are the powered locks mirrors and windows including AC and cruise control and traction control. Cons of the car are the cheap build quality like the dash mostly that will end up warping if you park in the sun a lot. Overall if you take care of the car it will last regular oil changes are important to keep that engine running. I’d recommend the car too somone that can look after it.

In spite of poor reviews by the Automotive Press, I have been more than satisfied with this car. I have done 30,000 miles on it without the slightest problem. The design both inside and out I found excellent. Acceleration was brisk but the only flaw was the Goodyear tires. When I changed to Kumhow 712's the handling improved immensely as did the wet braking. The Grand Am GT is one of the best allround cars I have owned.
Bad fuel economy

Nice car but can, t seem to get more than 250 km on a tank of fuel ( city driving in cold winter ) maybe summer will be better. Even took it in to get looked at and apparently there is nothing wrong. Once again bad fuel economy. Bought a lemon.
Good First Car

First car ever. While I mourn the lack of power windows, the car itself isn't all that bad. Has quite a bit of zoom for a 4cyl, with excellent freeway acceleration. Also, good gas mileage. I've done 400 miles on a tank. I've made a few boo-boos, and drove for over a year without the passenger side mirror, as well as crunched a few fenders. However, this car has a horrid side crash safety rating, which occasionally gives me nightmares. On the whole, it makes a good first car, since it's fairly cheap but has some power.
I Really Enjoy This Car

My 2004 Pontiac Grand Am I have had since 2005, and never had one major problem with it besides the blower motor kept going out on it and to replace it 3 times but I think it was because of where I got it from. The car has over 107,000 miles on it and have drove it from Illinois and Michigan numerous times with no problems at all. It drives great and looks great as well. I have been in a couple fender benders but the car still holds up in appearance. The only thing I do not like about this vehicle it has to many cup holders and the interior has to much plastic. Other than that it has great gas mileage while on the highway in the city it is about average.

Well this car I haven't had any problems with since it's purchase. But I do think the dealership should have checked the car over before handing the keys over to me. After a week I checked the engine to find it was almost empty. Not acceptable! Although the staff was very warm and friendly they do need to pay attention to detail.
