Pros: great value, comfortable, great pickup

After shopping around a great deal, we purchased a 1999 Grand Am last year and absolutely love it. We found the Grand Am the best value for a mid size car. The car handles very well on the road in all weather. The traction control makes it easy to...

I purchased a '98 Grand Am GT in February of '98 and have been miffed ever since. Rattles, squeaks, and noises of all sorts are the mainstay of the plastic interior. This is one big complaint. I have always prided myself on taking good care of my car....

Pros: Cheap, looks great, runs great
Cons: not the best engine, to much hype
This car has raised the bar in cheap cars. They seem very durable if you have ever seen lethal weapon four. In the movie it seems you can drive through a building and run over everything and keep on going, not so true. No car can drive through a...

Pros: The look and the ride

I have heard complaints about the older Grand Am's but I haven't had any excessive problems with my 1999. I bought the car when it wasn't even on the lot yet; I "stole" it from a salesman. After driving a 1985 Chevy celebrity for 4 years I...

After enjoying my first Grand Am for over 4 years, (you can read my review on it under the '94 Grand Am's) I purchased a 1998 Grand Am. After searching in 3 cities, at numerous dealerships, for several weeks, I came back to my loyal friend.
