Scary car

Once these cars hit 100,000 miles, they are destined to have the notorious security issue start up and plague you. This car is very cheap. I have been the only owner of mine, and keep up with maintenance (I am a mechanic, and actually love Pontiac) but they have dropped the ball on this one... the door check has been broke on 2 doors, all of the windows have eventually fallen off the tracks. The security light makes sure you are delayed 15 min of driving (look up grand am security issue on google). Otherwise, the engine has been torn down twice for blown head gasket, then for melted wires to the cam and crank sensors. I still own the car because after all this is fixed the car seems solid and is a great beater car!

Don't get me wrong, I love my car. But the only thing I have a problem with is the back window noise. It sounds like the windows are down slightly when you're doing interstate driving, gets pretty annoying. Other than that, its roomy, sporty, and has great take off.

Very Surprised

I was very surprised with this car. I have always had a full-sized vehicle and this is the first car I've owned in the mid-sized class. The comfort is good, the power is amazing (almost 2 much for the size!) and it is a lot of fun to drive. I've had it over 6 months and I'm still not tired of it. I paid $11,500 for it and feel like I made out like a bandit!! ~~to the gentleman who said the ignition sticks- I was told by my Pontiac Dealer that if the car doesn't start immediately, the ignition will hold for a few seconds to try to start it and then release.~~
Typical GM Car -- Fast until it breaks

I've owned this car for a few years now. Purchased in 2007 with 30k miles, now I have 80k. Nothing major has broken yet, but the car is such a pile of plastic junk it seems about as reliable as a child's toy. Everything under the car is rusting. The paint is fading and flaking. There is body rust on it. The headlights are hazy and fogged. The car has been through 1 battery and 3 CV boots. The brakes were so rusted I needed to have a mechanic fix them. There is this horrible annoying, nonstop clicking from the blinkers that is apparently common with these. Other than being a piece of plasticy junk, it is pretty zippy. If you don't need a reliable car, I'd recommend getting one.
Good on the Pocketbook

This is a first vehicle for me. But I have driven many. This is a nice small car that is still sporty enough that it doesn't look like something your grandma would drive. Very convenient.
