Overview & Reviews
An upgraded four-speaker sound system is now standard on SE models, while an MP3 player is standard on uplevel GT models and optional on all others except the base SE.
- Lots of standard features, available five-speed manual transmission, crisp handling.
- Price has crept up in recent years, five-speed not available with V6, cheap interior pieces, iffy crash test scores.

The Most Refined FWD Grand Am - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By Matt - May 29 - 2:00 amI owned a 1995 SE2 before this one, and finally decided to buy the 04 since my truck isnt getting the mileage it used to. So far the gas mileage has been great (25+ mpg)and there is enough power in that LA1 V6 to keep me in the fast lane without getting pulled over. I read some reviews about horrible gas mileage, but their favorite features are SPEED?!? Dumb. If you overdrive any car, after a while it will lose mileage. Stick with AC Delco replacement plugs/filters/wires/etc. and change them at regular intervals. This car will keep you going for well over 100K miles. The LA1 3.4-liter V6 is the most refined, American-built 60° since the 2.8-liter was introduced in the 80s. Great engine.

Maintain your car - No problems!!!! - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By Grand AM GT for me! - May 29 - 2:00 amI am sitting here laughing my backside off at all the complaints. All but a few are due to lack of maintaince, just plain ignorance in taking care of a car, and the attitude "if it aint broke dont fix it"! For instance the clicking in the dash is nothing but cleaning the turn signal wires on the blinker control. I bought my 2004 Grand Am Gt, loaded, used, with 57000 miles on it. It had everything original even the tires. I am still driving it as I bought it cause someone took great care of it and maintained it as any intelligent will do. Get off your backside "crybabies" and read the manual or cant you read???? Great car, no proglems! Always blame someone else for your troubles!! Duh!

upgrade with $2000 or buy another car. - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By fabian gutierrez - May 17 - 5:06 amI had my car for a year and a half. 2 crashes,(one major and one minor damage) overall still look and handle like new. I have upgade it with boral Exhaust ($750 installed)cold air intake ( $200 installed) better wires, spark plugs, pulleys,ect, and tweak the engine.($700 installed) The rest was spent on non performce parts. any ways my car now rates 235 HP and 245 lb-ft trq.I never had any problem but I take care of it really well. I live in Cali, so in the hot days the temp gos over 215 F in engie. good gas and low noise. good space back and trunk. small for people ove 63. my dad cant fix. any way the point is with that extra 2000 you could buy a better car. I still beat civics, accords, cavs

Keep or Sell ??? - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By tam10 - May 8 - 2:41 amI wasnt sure if I wanted to keep my 2004 Pontiac Grand Am Gt but I LOVE IT & its such a nice looking car I would hate to get rid of it & would certainly miss it. Although since January all I did was start to replace things in it that have gone bad. First the rack in January then a good cleaning on the EGR sensor then last week front brakes,pads & routers then to top it all off on Saturday while moving a friend of mine the factory battery finally went after 7 yrs. Also the TRANSMISSION. OMG didnt know what to do at this point, pay the bank or pay 3000.00 to have the trans fixed, Well guess what I decided to do. Everything is getting fixed & replaced. Cant wait to get my "NEW" car back!

Pontiac Grand Am - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By Jayo - March 8 - 2:00 amThis is my second Grand Am. I like it because it is available as a 2 door, very dependable, fun to drive, good on gas, and an overall good value for the money, and it flies. I have only had to change oil and change brake pads/shoes on my previous Grand Am.

My 3rd Grand Am - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By BCR - March 8 - 2:00 amThis is my 3rd Grand Am and the best one Ive owned. I finally got everything I wanted with this one... leather, XM Radio, Ram Air V6, shiny chrome rims... which were not available when I purchased the last 2 cars. I get compliments every day on this car!

What a wonderful, fun car! - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By VDodiLi - January 18 - 2:00 amI have had 13 cars since I started driving in 1978, and this is BY FAR the best (except maybe my first car, a 71 VW Bug - but it was my first, cmon!). It is flashy (fusion orange, to match my red hair!), sporty, a LOT of fun to drive, decent gas mileage, heavy and solid feeling (unlike foreign cars which always feel cheap to me), and an engine that feels and performs like an old muscle car (the throaty roar from the Ram Air is unbelievably exhilarating). It is a car that makes me smile every time I see it, and gives me a thrill every time I accelerate, all without making a big dent in my budget. It makes me feel like a teenager again!

Grand Am SE1 - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By krosshammers - January 13 - 10:00 amWell this car I havent had any problems with since its purchase. But I do think the dealership should have checked the car over before handing the keys over to me. After a week I checked the engine to find it was almost empty. Not acceptable! Although the staff was very warm and friendly they do need to pay attention to detail.

Shes a great Pontiac - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By Guitarlust213 - January 2 - 10:00 amShes actually a white SE1 (SE2 was the only option in this sites menu) with the V6, 16" wheels and spoiler. Had her for several months. Got her used with 13000 on the odomoter, shes now at 22000+. Took her round trip 1400+ miles one time to Nevada from west Oregon. Lots of top speed action on the "middle of nowhere" roads. :-) Cornering is great. Stopping is great. Her only flaw would be wet weather traction. The 16s with the Goodyears need hot, dry pavement. But shes a good car. LTaken lots of coastal trips. Fun, reliable, attractive car. It easily beats most imports (i.e. wannabe racers) off the line, and gets decent mileage. Overall, good ride.
