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.

  Best purchase I made. - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Doe - October 4 - 11:13 am

  I happened to walk onto a car lot just browsing and laid eyes on this car and had to have it immediately. It was used with 80k miles for 7000 dollars at the time. I grabbed the car up, since then I added a K&N air filter and new 17 rims and low profile tires and omg yes 2 12 subs in the trunk. Awesome Car. I love the way the car handles and feels while driving it. Working on dual exhaust and a new paint job because white isnt my style, but over all that car is hot. No mechanical problems and I keep maintenance up on the car.

  A Great Car - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By FireyRedHead - May 9 - 2:00 am

  After having test driven a Nissan Sentra and Altima, also the Pontiac Grand Prix, I found this car to be the best handling and the most fun to drive. The pick-up speed for getting on the freeway is exceptional, as living in the Bay Area CA, that type of speed is needed at times. Also the ride is extremely smooth even on the roughest road...Excellent buy

  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.

  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.

  The Most Refined FWD Grand Am - 2004 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Matt - May 29 - 2:00 am

  I 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 am

  I 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 am

  I 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
