Overview & Reviews

For 2001, the Grand Am gets audio improvements, a wheel upgrade and revised paint choices.

• Sporty styling, lots of standard features, available five-speed manual transmission, crisp handling.

• Price creep has followed sales growth, true sport sedans need a five-speed with a V6, odd interior styling.

  Fun - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
  By megz629 - February 4 - 2:30 am

  This car has been very good to me, I bought it used, being the second owner. All I have had to do to the car, is a new battery and new tires. Its fun to drive, gets pretty good gas mileage too. Sound system is great, pretty much enjoy the car overall.

  Nice Car-loosed value fast - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
  By VWM - January 31 - 2:00 am

  I really like this car but I mean is it possible to loose value that fast on a brand new car? I have had this thing for almost 2 years and another dealership offered me $6700 for it. I mean come on 2 years ago this thing cost 17K brand new...The car is comfortable but the back seat has no comfortability to it. I have also had some problems with air noise

  Never Again - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
  By rarrr - December 8 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my Grand Am almost 2 years now and Id never buy another. Beginning about 3 months ago, my Grand Am has been nothing but trouble. Ive put almost $1000 into repairs. The fuel pump died, the ignition switch died, and now the a/c isnt working properly. On top of that, the turn signals only work when they feel like it, the interior lights only work when they feel like it, and the gauges dont register as they should. General Motors has surely let me down.

  Dont buy it - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
  By bob - October 22 - 4:06 pm

  Ive had this car 6 years, and Ive had ALL 4 power windows stop working (wont go down or up), I had 2 repaired and gave up on other 2. I got it with 32k miles, it has 84k now, at about 60k miles, the transmission failed. Had to have it rebuilt for about 2 grand. Ignition switch failed. Power steering pump failed 2 times. Power steering rod failed. Brakes had issues at about 75k miles, and again are grinding and just dont sound/feel right. Air conditioning still works, but speed settings 1 & 2 dont work, only 3-5 work. Rear view mirror fell off (didnt even touch it), had to re- adhere it. Its still fast, still fun, but I dont know whats gonna happen next. Im selling it soon, finally.

  Fun but reliable? - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
  By cplogic - September 14 - 10:00 am

  Bought the car new. Ive had the car a little over two years and 19,000 miles. Ive had four problems: 1) at 9,000 miles - Check engine light - Dealership cleaned injectors. 2) Car wont start - Dealership replaced ignition switch parts (although car turned over fine). 3) 19,000 miles - Check engine light - cleaned injectors 4) Car wont start - replaced battery. So the problems were not serious, yet not starting once a year is a pain.

  Whatta Bust - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Taken - May 21 - 11:50 am

  I had the car for 24 months and it was in the shop 17 times for various reasons. When I could keep it out of the shop, it was powerful and very fun to drive. In the end, I actually told Pontiac that I would NEVER own another one of their products, after I have owned a total of eight of their cars.

  Worst Car I EVER HAD! - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
  By mayhem2013 - May 16 - 8:25 am

  I purchased this car from a Pontiac dealership in 2006 with 57k miles on it. I was in love! However within the first WEEK of having it, the Security system failed. Since Ive had this P.O.S., everything imaginable has gone wrong, Security/Passlock failure, Intake Manifold Head Gasket, Power seating failure, Side mirror falling off, failing brakes, interior knobs falling off, AC failure...and the list DOES go on! I was horrified but the recalls and complaints online!.... Would NEVER buy anything from Pontiac ever again!
