Pros: speed, strength, seats, stereo.

The Bottom Line: no, negatory, nein, NO.
I'm not sure why anyone would ever recommend this car in good faith. I inherited a 95 Grand AM in 2000. It had 150,000 miles on it. And let me tell you, the car was on life support. It should have been put out to pasture at that point. Do NOT purchase a ... read more

I purchased this car used in 2003 for $2,700 with 127,000 miles on it. My 1985 Oldsmobile was dying on me and I really didn’t have too much time to pick and choose. I am not aware of all the options that were originally available with this ... read more

Pros: gas mileage and handling
Cons: squeaky dash board
The Bottom Line: A very well rounded car, with few problems and worth the price!
I purchased my first Pontiac Grand Am SE Coupe (and first car) in September of 2003. I wanted a car that had tight steering, spacious, and great braking. This car has all of that and a lot more. This car, I have to say, is a really well rounded car. ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good handling, plenty of driver and front passenger leg room (i am 5'6") good power
Cons: weighs in at 3819 lbs takes from the power of the Quad 4. possibly expensive.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this type of car to a friend, just not mine. I attribute most of my problems to terrible service personal.
I have read a lot of reviews. Some of the ones i read are good, others are not. I am basing that more on complaints made by the drivers, not the car it self. My car so far is a lemon. I bought it in January 2003 with 153,000+ miles on it from a towing ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: No engine problems; 29mpg; good power/acceleration; fun to drive
Cons: Rotors warp easily; squeaks & rattles
The Bottom Line: The V6 engine is trouble free. Brakes can't take much abuse. If you maintain it well and don't drive like a maniac it will be good to you.
I have owned this car 9 years and it now has 142,000 miles on it, yet it still looks and runs great. I bought it with 20,000 miles from a dealer in 1996. It is a 4-door 3.1L V6. At purchase, I was informed by the dealer mechanic that the V6 is the way ... read more

Pros: Racy SE styling, well- laid out interior, body, ride, handling.
Cons: Weak Quad 4 engine, rattles and squeaks, reliability, driving position.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this car for its racy styling and good driving dynamics, i recommend the 3.1 V6 instead of the Quad 4.

Pros: It gets me back and forth.
Cons: Where to begin?
The Bottom Line: The car isn't good enough quality. Too many common, but expensive problems.
OMG. Where do I begin? I bought the car in '99 with 52,000 miles. Since then.. I've had a seriously bad oil leak (a quart every three weeks). The powersteering hose broke while I was moving out one day. The new tires I got rubbed for the first thousand ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Decent acceleration, handling, value, gas mileage
Cons: Noisy, dash rattling, quiet a few repairs
The Bottom Line: I wouldn't say the Grand Am is a bad car but it's not great either, if you want transportation I think the Grand AM will do fine.
We bought this car 97 with 30,000 miles on it. It was passed to me when it had 55,000 miles. My Grand AM has the optional sport package which gives it better handling and larger tires than the regular Grand AM SE. I've had quiet a few problems with ... read more

Pros: Nice looking, inexpensive, smooth ride

The Bottom Line: If you like spending a lot on repairs, then buy this car...otherwise, try something else.
We bought this car for about $3200 in October of 2001. It had about 108,000 miles on it. It was (still is) a nice looking car...the only problem we had with the exterior was that the back bumper faded a lot. As for the rest of the car...it just seems ... read more

Pros: Starts everyday,decent performance.
Cons: Interior materials.
The Bottom Line: A car if you need to just get back and forth to work everyday, and need trunk space.
This review is for a GT automatic. This car was purchased with 79000 miles. So far the past 18 months of this car has been pretty good. Most people that have any knowledge about cars know the reputation about pontiac, of being cheap crappy cars.

Pros: Fun car to drive. Very comfortable. Solid ride.
Cons: Gas guage, power window, seat adjuster, gas door to name a few.

I bought the Pontiac Grand Am from the second owner. The mechanic did a serious check-up and found nothing wrong. We decide to change the spark plugs and transmission oil and preventive measures in addition to changing the oil.
