Excellent car
I bought this car last month. So far, It has been the best car that I have ever owned. I got a great deal on it. If I ever buy another Pontiac again, which is highly likely, I will again give Pontiac Master of Augusta the first chance to sell it to me. It does not get good gas mileage at all, but it is a V6 so I didn't really think it would. I love the interior design! My baby's car seat fits perfectly in the back seat while leaving plenty of leg room up front. I also love the exterior design of the car...kind of reminds me of the newer Ford Mustangs only with 4 doors and more get up and go.
A Great Car
After having test driven a Nissan Sentra and Altima, also the Pontiac Grand Prix, I found this car to be the best handling and the most fun to drive. The pick-up speed for getting on the freeway is exceptional, as living in the Bay Area CA, that type of speed is needed at times. Also the ride is extremely smooth even on the roughest road...Excellent buy
awsome car
this is a great car for that first timer drives great rides great the only thng it does kinda suck down the gas but not to bad
Sporty Fun
The 2004 Grand Am is a fun to drive responsive car that draws attention. For it's size it is comfortable and provides ample leg and head room.
Fun to drive but some issues
I purchased this car in July of 07'. Loved it when I laid eyes on it. I have had some issues as far as repairs go. An ignition control sensor went out 1 month after I bought it. That was about $500. About 2 months later had the wheel berring and traction control sensor go in the left front, that was about $300. And the last thing was kind of expected with 65,000 miles about 1 year later. Had a fuel pump go out. That cost about $500. All those things were just basic maintaince but still expensive. Other then those things my car has been a great car and expensive on gas with the higher prices.
GT
It's a great car; fun to drive.
Fun car!
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.
Great First Car!
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 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.
My Pontiac
This is a really fun car to drive. My husband and I love it. Its loaded with features and rides great.
