  One big headache - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
  By mmabry - March 5 - 2:00 am

  The car started out great, fun to drive and handled well. I put a lot of miles on it but it looks great and Ive taken care of it. But the brakes shake, even after being replaced. The Intake gasket leaks and may cause engine damage. The drivers window no longer rolls up the whole way. People have made comments that it doesnt sound good and that it makes a lot of noises. Not being able to check the transmission fluid caused a problem when the dealership failed to put enough in and I couldnt tell without taking it back to them. It just seems to be a constant headache.

  2000 SE (Automatic Transmission option) - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
  By teravain - March 2 - 1:11 pm

  Over all the 2000 Grand Am has been an excellent car. Mine has over 200k miles on it with 185k of them put on by me. The car lasted up until about 189k then one of the cylinders dropped to 60% pressure and I cant use the AC when I am stopped at a stop sign or the engine will stall. Paint started peeling at the bottom of the front doors after 8 years of driving on a dirt road at 45 miles per hour for 2 miles per day. The front dash has started to lift a little from the sun light hitting it the last 11 years, and driver side window button is finally starting to act up. At 13k this car has lived up to all my expectations.

  matts review - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
  By matt - January 31 - 8:16 am

  For being an SE, not the sportier GT, it handles quite nicely, and has a smooth ride too. The v6 makes enough power to smoke the tires if youre interested to know. Mine happens to have 130,000 miles on it and I get throttle happy with it sometimes anyway. It makes Tauruses look lethargic, and Honda Civic, hah, is that a sedated hamster under the hood of those things? In all seriousness, for being rated at a rather low 170HP, the 207c.i. v6 has more than enough torque to compensate. Theres also performance parts if stock just isnt good enough. If you think American cars are crap, youre wrong. Ive had no problems since Ive had it. Pros- its quick, girls like it Cons- still FWD

  130,000 and it is dead - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Kasten - January 26 - 10:00 am

  I have my Pont for 7 years had no problem. When it hit 119,450 miles the transmission broke down. I sent it to mechanick and he said it was factory defect. He showed to me that old transmission and I could see that it cracked exacly in the middle all round the transmission. OK I asked him to change and get another one with 80,000 on it. Which hi did. I was driving it for a year. Big oil consumption. In 3000 miles i had to add 2.5 quars of oil. When it was 130,000 My motor broke down in the middle of the higway. I barely got to my brothers house. And I am not fixing it. What, Do i have to change motor and transmission every 130,000 Miles?

  Very good vehicle - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Dan C - January 21 - 2:00 am

  I have had this car for almost 4 yrs and drive the heck out of it with over 80k now. Its been through every state from east coast to TX and all kinds of weather with never a problem. Im out with all the SUVs in the snow. I tow a 3,000lb boat, and the car performs like its towing very little. The extent of my maintenance is that Ive replaced tires once and brakes twice, a window and heat blower motor, some antifreeze wiper blades, lamps and of course many oil changes.

  My Grand Am GT sucks too - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Eunity T - January 17 - 2:06 am

  I had to get new rotors after one month, new struts, bushing, fuel sensor, serpentine belt, wheel sensors, seat motor, 2 new batteries that only lasted 2 years a piece, had an intake gasket leak, and now it needs a new rod and pinion and a water pump. Im sure Im forgetting some of the other problems Ive had with it. After my extended warranty expires Im getting rid of this crappy car.

  LEMON, LEMON, LEMON - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Kelly - November 11 - 4:10 pm

  Ive had nothing but problems with this heap, and dont know many people who havent (if you havent, you will). Brake rotors need replaced every 10k mi, power windows replaced 2 times each, sunroof motor replaced, turn signal replaced twice, leak in fuel line, I could go on for days. Im only stuck with this car because I went back to school, but you can bet the minute I graduate that piece of junk is outta here. DO NOT BUY A PONTIAC...EVER!

  my new used car - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Mojogo20 - September 15 - 2:00 am

  I just got this car two weeks ago to replace a 2000 SE-1 which I got in January of this year and was totalled in an accident in September. I love this (these) car(s)! The handling, power, ride and styling are the best I have ever owned in a vehicle. The layout of the instrumentation and accessories are very user friendly and easy to understand and use.
