Positive Review
I bought this car as the 3rd owner a little over 3 years ago & I have only had 1 mechanical failure b/c the ignition switch needed to be replaced. GM sent out a recall notice about having too many keys on your key ring approximately 18 months later. I absolutely love this car, even get decent gas mileage. It rides really nice on Rt 81 doing about 80 miles/hour on my way to WVa to see my g'friend's step-mom. I REALLY wish they still made them!!!

Critical Review
2000 Pontiac Grand AM Se2: bought used in 2003 with 45K, 2008 and now has 93K. First 4 years I put on 30K and last 1.5 years has been 18K. Repairs: water pump/serpentine 50K, intake manifold gasket replaced at 55K (expensive), battery at 56K, intermittent blinker (recalled) 67K, radio display went out 68K (did not repair), 4 tires at 73K, front wheel bearing/hub assembly at 75K, front rotars and pads. Also had to replace both side mirros, washer fluid tank, and all four window regulators (stupid plastic parts). I'll give GM the battery, rotars/pads...maybe water pump, but c'mon with the gasket, wheel bearings and stupid, cheap plastic parts. transmission is slipping on rare occasions in shifting from 2nd to 3rd, great! mechanic can't seem to replicate and can't find a problem. time will tell. Oh another thing, mysterious coolant leaks. reservoir has emptied on two occasions (63K and 86K)...not a slow drain either. the puddles were easy to spot but the leak not so much. FYI, i drive to preserve my car for as long as possible and follow all routine maintenance. Fair car at best IMO. I don't know what the first 45K miles were like, but the last 48K have been a bit rough. I'm going to run it into the ground as long as it doesn't break my wallet in doing so. Will never buy another Pontiac.

Muy bueno en millas por gas y rápido para 4cilindr
La verdad no sé que tenga de malo este modelo
La verdad un carro muy bueno y muy economico solo que me gustaría comprarme un carro más nuevo pero aunque me va a doler porque este carro es uno de los mejores carros de 4 cilindros y no tengo nada malo que opinar de este carro porque aunque tiene 146100 no es mucho para el año que es porque eh visto algunos carros 2018 y ya casi tienen las mismas millas
so fun and sporty to drive yet reasonable price
no cons. best cah evah !!!!
i first saw a picture of my car in a grand am magazine that came to me as a current grand am owner. it was a silver grand am gt model with a sporty hood and spoiler not readily available on the models in my area. for a year i carried that picture around showing it to sales people at dealerships and seeing if they could get me that exact car.no luck but i never gave up.finally one weekend we stopped at bezema pontiac and showed my picture to the sales man.he assured me he could get me the car no problem.just give him a couple of days to find it.shocked we left him our contact info and went home to wait.not too many days later he called to say he had found one and he would call me when it arrived.it came from long island up to massachusetts.when i saw the car it was love at first sight.after the test drive i knew i wasnt leaving without it. my grand am gt has been my faithful dependable reliable knight in shining armor for the past 18 years.would buy the exact same car again if they still made it.
Fun to drive
Intake gaskets on all gm products this time period
Owned since new replaced intake gaskets at 20000 miles had no other problems
Engine is not good
Okay
Nice looking and sporty
Leaks oil and obsolete. ☹️
Sporty and lots of power. Best car I’ve ever had in the snow!
Fun to drive
Rust
I’ve had this car for about a month now and so far I love it. It’s good on gas and comfortable to be in.
Plenty of torque, good on a back road, and reliabl
Rust.
The car sounds fairly good and has a nice power band. Not really really good in the snow unless you have snow tires on it. Almost everything is broken in some way shape or form but it still runs better than ever and has more personality than I will ever have
just enjoy the handling of it. sporty, fun
keeps up with traffic, but I've nvr done long trip
love this car. we use it around town since we've had it, and thought it was worth hauling from colorado when we moved.
