  • Nice Car - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    After driving larger vehicles for many years I found this car fun to drive and very economical. May 2006 when I bought it gas was around $3 gallon. Shortly after buying it I drove from Michigan to Houston and got 34-36 miles per gallon. City driving I get 20-22 mpg, not bad and its fun to drive.

  • Great Car to Have - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Ive had this car ever since the summer of 2006 and it is a great car to have especailly if it is your first car, i havent yet had anything wrong go with my car with is a huge plus, and I always get complaiments from people saying how nice it looks and how they would love to drive it. I have added some things to the car in which if ur like me and want more horsepower and torque you can easliy get if u replace certain parts like instead of having that ram air i replaced that with a cold air intake to add some horsepower which it did and i have also added many other parts which if u have the money you could do and my i also add this car sounds great with a pair of 12 subs

  • Questionable Tranny and Bad Interior - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    We just recently purchased this vehicle and already the tranny (automatic) when going from 1st to 2nd goes cu-clunk. The interior seems to be made for about a buck fifty, but I do like the red dash lighting, but the cd player wont play CD-RW or MP3...whats the point in having it...its like a tease. Overall though I do love the car, its a sexy beast on the outside, great trunk space, smooth ride (outside the cu- clunk thing), great pickup, inexpensive V-6, handling is superb, nice accurate cruise control, decent stock speakers, not enough storage compartments...overhead storage for glasses or something would be nice

  • Fun to drive but some issues - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I purchased this car in July of 07. Loved it when I laid eyes on it. I have had some issues as far as repairs go. An ignition control sensor went out 1 month after I bought it. That was about $500. About 2 months later had the wheel berring and traction control sensor go in the left front, that was about $300. And the last thing was kind of expected with 65,000 miles about 1 year later. Had a fuel pump go out. That cost about $500. All those things were just basic maintaince but still expensive. Other then those things my car has been a great car and expensive on gas with the higher prices.

    I think that this car is a real joy to drive and I like all the standard features I think the red dash lights are different. Good power for a six. The price with 3,000 rebate was right in my price range

  • Great first car!!! - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I bought a 04 Grand Am GT1 Coupe a few months ago, and so far besides a few issues it has been very reliable for me. I bought it with just over 100,000 miles, and the fuel pump went around 103,000 miles but $250 I think it was isnt bad. Now at almost 105,000 I had to get the ignition switch changed because the car wouldnt turn over a couple times. All in all I love this car, Ive always wanted one of these since I was a kid lol. It is a blast to drive I havent driven it in the winter yet obviously but hopefully it is as good as people are saying it is. The one thing that kind of bugs me is the turn signal ticking when Im not using it. But that doesnt bother me as much because I either have the radio turned up or the windows/sunroof open or both. I do also love the fact I have Sirius XM as well. I can now listen to hard rock music besides just alternative crap around here by Chicago. But overall Id recommend this car for any first experience drivers who are looking for a affordable sports car.
