  Great car just needs taken care of right - 1998 Pontiac Grand AM
  By amariscruz - September 6 - 10:00 am

  Love my car its a 98 Grand Am GT. Handles like no other fuel economy is great. This car is good it just needs taken care of. Sounds like the guy above who had to replace all those things on his car a month after buying it had a leak in his radiator but kept trying to drive it like that thats why it messed up his head gasket. You"ll love to drive this car fast and fun

  Mecanically sound GrandAm - 1998 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Allen59 - August 26 - 10:00 am

  My wife drives this car daily... It gets about 27 MPG regardless of how you drive it in the city (I have a heavy foot) Interstate is 32 MPG And it has excellent pickup at all speeds (3.1 V-6) After over 3 and a half years we have put 50,000 miles on it and have never experienced a mecanical problem. This car handling is exceptional in turns with the Firestone 720s Very reliable car.

  Enigma - 1998 Pontiac Grand AM
  By PONT98 - May 24 - 11:20 pm

  This car has only stranded me once and that was 6 mos after buying it for a shift interlock problem that cost 350 bucks. Aside from that I personally fixed the intake manifold leak the v6s are prone to that would have cost 550. The clear coat is coming off on the spoiler and one window frame. The seats are pretty rotten. Power is good and so is the tranny. Brakes need frequent replacement due to small size. The seat and paint might be my fault, but crappy plastic and intake manifold problems as well as the common front suspension creak are all normal issues with this car. By the way my car has 11200 miles on it and I have owned it for 5 years. I would not recommend this car. I am stuck w/it.

  Not too bad - 1998 Pontiac Grand AM
  By abspideygirl - May 21 - 10:16 am

  Overall this has been a good reliable vehicle, with a some exceptions. I bought the car with 64000 miles on it and Ive had to replace the alternator, battery, brakes twice, intake manifold, heater core, and replace the spark plugs, the car now has 104000. The only other problem Ive had with it is that the power window on the left side has fallen off its track. It starts right up though and does well in the city as well on the interstate, and it does during long distance travel.

  98 GT - 1998 Pontiac Grand AM

  Good and reliable vehicle for work and play. Very economical on gasoline(29mpg highway and 22mpg city), but can use a larger gas tank. Sport-like interior.

  Dependable transportaion - 1998 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Mr. Jones - February 7 - 10:00 am

  Purchased new in May 98. delivered with zero defects. a couple of minor problems in first 5000 miles,(cruise control switch and a plugged injector) both fixed right the first time under warranty. No further problems until 40000 miles, fuel rail was leaking and replaced. Replaced front brake pads at 42000 miles (lot of city driving) but other than than no problems, a fun to drive car that give good fuel economy and good road handling. A strict maintenance schedule is adhered to and car is always kept in good mechanical condition.Nothing fancy but just good wife car.

  Love My Grand Am - 1998 Pontiac Grand AM
  By ricknj56 - November 30 - 2:00 am

  Have 102,000+ on it and it still runs almost as good as the day I brought it home. Power Window and Alternator had to be replaced at my expense, but thats all the expenses I have incurred other than normal maintainence (Oil, brakes, tuneup, etc...)

  Cant wait to get rid of it! - 1998 Pontiac Grand AM
  By ImpyTink - August 8 - 6:20 am

  Ive had problems with this car since I had it for only six months. Its always at the mechanics. I hate this car and I cant wait to lose it. I finally have a job that maybe I can lose it soon. Not reliable. Has left me stranded many times. I pray for it to get stolen.
