    Never thought much of the Grand Am- basic trans. bought it for 50% off sticker price to share with my teenage son. Had it for a year now, its not that bad a car. It handles very well, comfortable yet sporty. fine stereo for stock(monsoon) only real complaint is fuel mileage. only got 19- 20. installed TORNADO device-now ave.22- 23

    I traded in my fully loaded Nissan Altima V6 for a V6 Grand Am when I was forced to lower my car payments. I am not disappointed with this car, I like the 3.4 V6 in my Grand Am. I work in Sales and drive approx 30,000 miles a year. I would recommend this car it has been a good reliable partner on the road.

  • Good but not great - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM

    I bought my grand am gt 2 months ago and love it for the most part. It really runs well and has a thrill factor to it. I would like a little more power though. The ram air is a joke and im looking into cold air intake. Car guzzles gas like a v-8. It is important not to run cheap gas in these cars as your performance will suffer. Dont get me wrong i love th e car but pontiac cant seem to get enough power out of a 6- cylinder engine. Should be faster than it is. Any model but the gt is a waste of money.

    I have only had my Grand Am for a week, but so far I can tell you that I love the exterior design and the way the car rides and handles. The interior seems to be cheap made, Compared to the Aztec I previously drove. The gas mileage is not as good as I expected but is still not bad. Overall I am satisfied.

  • 2004 Grand Am 2.2 4cyl 4A - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    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.

  • Fun car - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM

    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

    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.

  • It Is What It Is - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    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 -

    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.
