Looks nice, not so reliable...... - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By California - August 3 - 10:00 amLuved the car at first, very first new fast car... Have always done regular maintance,used only fully synthetic oil,treated this car like my baby, Have brought this car in more times than I want to admit, luckily the dealership talked me into the full warranty or I would have been hosed, the power sterring pump went out, alternator at 60,000, abs light has come on twice to be fixed,anything that was electrical went out!!! signals, daytime running lights,fuel gage, and of course the most expensive the tranny... I luv the looks of it and it got me lots of looks, fast, but just really dissapointing with everything that has gone wrong with it.

awesome ride - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By blue_eyes_rc - July 21 - 2:00 amthis car is a real head turner. It has enough power to suck you back in your seat when you tromp on it. The seats are extremely comfortable and all the controls are within easy reach. There is very little if any road noise and she handles like a dream. If you like a nice, comfortable ride but also like to be the grandma that turns heads this is the car for you.

Falling apart - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By WhyMe - May 19 - 2:00 amI bought the car brand new and three years later I cant wait to get rid of it. The fuel pump went out at 26000 miles. Seals around passenger windows leaked so flooded my interior at 29000. The front bearings had to be repacked at 32000. Windshield plastic moldings flew off while driving down the road. Window falls in door and costs $600 to fix!! Rearview mirror falls off repeatedly despite getting fixed everytime. The list continues, I will NEVER buy another Pontiac . . .or Domestic for that matter.

Terrible service from Pontiac Dealers - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By 2000 Pontiac SE1 - April 19 - 10:00 amIve had the 2000 SE1 for just over 2 years. The doors are not lined up and paint has chipped on the doors because of it (in the first 10000 miles). Dealers wont help at all, even the place I bought it. Car was in the shop 3 times for the check engine light. I finally figured out ON MY OWN that the gas cap wasent tight enough. (smart mechanics) Now, it wont start and has been in twice for this problem in 2 weeks. My entended warrenty didnt even cover half! It was fixed without me ever okaying the extra cost. I fought it and lost. I am so fed up with Pontiac not standing behind their product! Never again.

Great car if youre taking it easy - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By Ceeblur - March 4 - 10:00 amME and my car have a love hate relationship. I love the layout of it, the features, and the speed, but I hate the gas mileage you get on it, and also the shortness of brake life. I have heard that you get better gas mileage if you use synthetic oil. Gas mileage is fine as long as you dont hotrod it like I do.

Not reliable at all!!! - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By Drive it - January 21 - 10:00 amThis car is a piece of crap!!! GM knows this car is crap and will settle suits. Within 20K miles this was replaced: tires, full brakes, intake manifold gasket, all fuel injectors, fuel pump, fuel sensor, turn switch, window regulator, power steering pump, and belt. It might be fun to drive but it will be in the shop all the time and thats no fun. I have heard that the newer models are even worse. GM produces throw away cars.

My Second Grand Am - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By Carolyn Shipley - January 20 - 3:20 amBought it brand new and its now 5 years old. Very reliable. Warranty has paid off. Changed oil regularly and had very few problems. Love the exterior design. My first Grand Am had 4 doors and this one has 2. Now I know I prefer 4 because its difficult getting into and out of the back seat. Value is now less than half what I am paying for it. I think I owe more on the loan that it is now worth because of this, I may never by new again. I would think about upgrading to a Grand Prix next time for more interior comfort.

What the.......with pontiac - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By gagtr00 - December 26 - 10:00 amThis car was great for the first 3 years. I bought mine brand new with 159 miles on it. At 33000 miles it started to have problems. It all started with the intake gaskets, then the #6 fuel injector, then the radiator flow being blocked and the thermostat sticking at 37000. Right after the warranty??? I have spent $1000 in the last month on repairs to include the drivers door window, but that was repaired for free. Thank god for GM Goodwrench Service Plus Dealers and it was a Chevy dealer at that. I agree with WhyMe. Great car, then it starts to fall apart even if you baby it like I did. Time for me to go back to Ford........

Im gonna miss ya, Joey - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By jleahcap - September 8 - 8:12 pmI bought my Grand Am in 99, and shes still with me at 133,000 miles. I Love getting into this car every time. The color (navy blue), the style. There are just too many things that are falling off - both side mirrors, the overhead light, no visible clock, back window goes half-way up/down depending on mood. Its a good thing I own this car, because I wouldnt be able to afford the repairs every 3-4 months if I had to make car payments. Giving up my Grand Am will be like losing my best friend - albeit a high-maintenance friend. If I could find a way to replace all these problems to make it run for another 10 years, I would in half-a-heartbeat.

2000 Grand Am - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By Mary - July 1 - 10:00 amGood buy for the money, but now becoming an expense. Drivers widow motor went out 2 years ago, then air conditioner stopped working a little later. Repair estimates came in starting at $800 so I drove around with no air in Atlantas worst heat in history! The one honest mechanic left in the whole world (Poston Motors, Cumming, GA) bypassed a switch and voila - air! And an oil change: Less than $100.00! Now, dashboard coming apart, both outside mirrors bout to fall off, automatic door buttons & mirror adjustment have fallen through the door panel & yesterday, interior rear view fell off! City mileage: bad, Highway mileage: good Forcing pick-up speed too fast can damage computer.
