  • From Mother to Daughter - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    When I purchased my red Grand Am GT in 2001 I was looking for a sporty car my teenage children could borrow and not feel like they were driving an "old- lady" car. I didnt really expect to enjoy driving it so much myself! I quickly found it was fun to drive, easy to park and made me smile when I saw it in the parking lot! It was reliable and served me well! Recently my daughter was looking for a good used car and I decided to sell her the Grand Am. She was excited to purchase a great looking car! I was sad to say goodbye to the only sports car Ill probably ever own - and Im really glad to know its still in the family! I highly recommended it for a fun, reliable and sporty ride!

    Bought the vehicle in late January and havent had any problems since. The only drawback is that the gas mileage isnt as great as I would have hoped. But other than that, the car gets me where I want to go and is very relaxing. Im hoping the car will get me through driving back and forth with college.

    This is my third black Grand Am GT. All three have been extremely reliable up to as much as 110K miles on my first - with an alternator and faulty gas gauge being the biggest issues among them - both covered by warranty. I had each of them for four years and always have to give it a front break job about 2 years in. More detailed comments and suggestions are below.

    I bought this car with 75K miles a year ago, and I travel to work 40 miles round trip daily and often across the state. Its always been very reliable and comfortable to drive. Very powerful! The only part I really didnt like was that the turning signals didnt always work, but they were covered under a recall, and were fixed free of charge. Corners and handles very well, and hasnt let me down in the snow yet. Heat, A/C, Cruise, Power Locks and Windows.. all work great. The gas mileage isnt too bad considering the get-up-and-go it has. Most costly fix was the headgasket after I first got it, which was $600, and the hubs ($400).

  • Excellent Car - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    This is my second Grand Am. We still own our first which is a 2000 SE. Overall, and aside from the intake manifold problem (which our wounderful dealership repaired free of charge), our Grand Ams have been excellent cars. Not once have either of them ever let me down. Proformance and comfort at superb with the tourqy 3.4 V6, and the leather seats make long trips relaxing. The stock sound system is absolutely amazing, and the red backlit dash is easy on the eyes. I plan on keeping my GT for as long as possible, and im thankful I havent recieved the problems others seemed to have had. Only other probem Ive had was a loose electrical wire, which was fixed in minutes at my dealer.
