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.

  2004 Grand Am 2.2 4cyl 4A - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By bpeters1 - April 25 - 11:36 pm

  Ive had the car for about 3 months now and have put a little over 3,000 miles on it. I bought it used with 98,000 miles on it. So far Ive had no problems with it. The 4cyl engine suits this car well, but sometimes seems reluctant to downshift. It has absolutely zero power at low RPM. The gas mileage I get is exactly as listed at 27 MPG. Love the way the car handles. The interior (especially light switches) are obviously cheaply made, and often pop in and out of their slots.

  Excellent Car - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By navy67 - March 28 - 5:02 pm

  I purchased my Pontiac in 2005 when it only had about 12000 miles. I would have to say it is our most dependable running and peppy vehicle. It now has about 95000 miles on it and it still runs like a champ and the V6 still has a get-up and go. I wouldnt trade it for anything, especially seeing it is going to be passed on to my daughter.

  Fantastic car. - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By tbam22 - February 22 - 8:20 am

  Got this car 5 years ago with 107,000 miles on her; 70,000 later and she still runs great. Motor mount snapped at 155,000 and we had to replace the water pump as well. Signals stopped working right at 175, and wheel bearings need to be replaced soon. Original battery lasted until 120. The mirrors stick out a bit too far. Ive lost three. Eventually got ones that fold in. Overall a fantastic car and so much fun to drive. This was my first car; I think it says a lot about the car that it still performs so well after so being driven around so much by a young, inexperienced driver. A big disappointment they stopped making them so long ago; looks like my next car will be a G6.

  Fun car - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By mike in virginia - February 18 - 6:23 pm

  This is the first I have owned and so far its been a great car. I like the g6 it just lacks in body style. My own opinion GM should have just revamped the grand AM a few more ponys under the hood wouldnt hurt. the 3400 is dependable but a super charged offer would be nice.

  Good car for the price - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By 3rd grand am - February 9 - 10:00 pm

  This is my 3rd Grand Am that I have owned. 97, 00, and 04 models. I have been fairly happy with this car except for the wind noise from the window seals that the dealerships didnt seem to want to fix even though I had it in 5 times for the noise. This car is what you would expect from GM. Low grade interior materials.

  Pure Pleasure - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Ronald Smith - November 29 - 3:23 pm

  I own a gold 2004 Pontiac Grand Am that I purchased on March 31, 2006. I test drove this car before purchasing it, & I will have to say that it is absolutely a fun car to drive. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable means of transportation. Fuel mileage is excellent. I have checked it after running 3 tanks of fuel through it & I averaged 17.7 on one tank, 17.5 on one tank & 19.5 on one tank. Anyone looking for a dependable means of transportation with very good gas mileage around town, this is the car to check out. Plenty of leg room front & back & excellent handling characteristics.

  It Is What It Is - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By suburbancollegekid - September 22 - 8:50 pm

  My 18th birthday present. Purchased for $12,500 with 13K on the odo. Only a two year old car at the time. Grand Ams are overlooked because they are last-gen and built on 90s tech, but all around they are great and sized just right. You cant beat the bang for your buck with a Grand Am. Good performance around town & on the highway. I picked my SE1 b/c it didnt have the nasty plastic side body panels. Mine is just like the one in the Edmunds picture.

  I Really Enjoy This Car - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By rhalld38 - September 4 - 5:22 pm

  My 2004 Pontiac Grand Am I have had since 2005, and never had one major problem with it besides the blower motor kept going out on it and to replace it 3 times but I think it was because of where I got it from. The car has over 107,000 miles on it and have drove it from Illinois and Michigan numerous times with no problems at all. It drives great and looks great as well. I have been in a couple fender benders but the car still holds up in appearance. The only thing I do not like about this vehicle it has to many cup holders and the interior has to much plastic. Other than that it has great gas mileage while on the highway in the city it is about average.

  Have loved it since it was new...til now - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By pontiacgirl_78 - July 2 - 10:59 am

  I bought this car brand new in 05. I love driving it, it looks great, and its still got get up and go at 98,000 miles BUT....It needs intake gasket #3 (1st one at 23, 000 miles.) The front end is shot...the bearing, the $400 a piece struts, the steering and the axle thingy. All sorts of warning lights keep coming on too. I think sorry to say its time to trade it in. Ive also had problems with the drivers window falling down into the door twice and the back door hasnt opened in about 3 years. It has never left me on the side of the road, but now its not even safe to drive. Ive loved her and took care of her since the day I got her, but at 98k thats too much to be going wrong.
