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.

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

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!

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.

STINKS ON GAS!!!! - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By Edie - December 15 - 3:23 pmI dont know if anyone else has this issue but this car all of a sudden is getting bad gas mileage. Was getting around 32mpg before but now Im lucky if I get 14mpg. Have had other issues too and the car is only 4 years old. Will not buy a Pontiac again.

Good First Car - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By Melissa - October 19 - 6:10 amFirst car ever. While I mourn the lack of power windows, the car itself isnt all that bad. Has quite a bit of zoom for a 4cyl, with excellent freeway acceleration. Also, good gas mileage. Ive done 400 miles on a tank. Ive made a few boo-boos, and drove for over a year without the passenger side mirror, as well as crunched a few fenders. However, this car has a horrid side crash safety rating, which occasionally gives me nightmares. On the whole, it makes a good first car, since its fairly cheap but has some power.

Best car that I have owned - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By ROBERT - October 7 - 6:36 pmI love my Pontiac Grand Am its too bad that there not going to make any more Pontiacs. The car gets great gas mileage and it is very peppy especially when your passing someone on a two lane road. What I dont like about it it has to many cup holders and the rear cup holder that folds out you cannot place any cup in the holder without it spilling onto the floor.

Best Thing to Come From Detroit in Years - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By jonesm - July 31 - 2:00 amWell, this is my second Grand Am of the same body style. The first was lost in an unfortunate accident. 50MPH into a stationary object and all parties walked away. I dont know what standards the IIHS uses, but clearly this is a safe vehicle. With 170 horsepower, the V6 puts on a good show. Plenty of power, but not too much. Off the line, its quick and the automatic is smooth. Interior leaves a little to be desired, but its an American car, lets face it. The controls are VERY easy to read. The road manners on this car rival even the best Europe has to offer. As a BMW 325I owner, I can tell you its very close.

Boooo - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By Barry09 - May 18 - 12:40 amFuel pump went out atleast 4 times within first two months of owning car, constant, constant, constant ticking in dash, AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF in wreck when rear ending someone at 35 mph, coolant leaked constantly, tires leaked in cold weather, keyfab did not work, lots of problems. I would not suggest this car to ANYONE.

Questionable Tranny and Bad Interior - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
By timhda - December 7 - 10:00 amWe 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
