  By PbH - November 5 - 10:00 am

  Although its under powered and its dash is a little goofy it handles great, its comfortable and good on gas making it fun to drive i just wish the V6 had a option for 5 or 6 speed manual

  Value - 2005 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Mikey - July 21 - 2:26 pm

  It just seems like consumer guides these days only rate the performance of the vehicle and totally ignore value. Im here to tell you about the value of this car. I paid $16,000 CDN (after taxes) for a 1-yr old car loaded with features - all power - and with only 23,000kms w/ 2 yrs remaining on the warranty. What can you buy with this money? Zip. My friend bought a 2005 Civic, paid $24,000 CDN and has to manually roll up his windows! His car is so weak on hills that you feel like you need to get out and push. Ha! My GA flies up hills, has tons of low- end power and gets about 25-30mpg. The hype about foreign cars is bull. Ill be driving my GA when my buddys Civic is mowing lawns!

  Good for the Price - 2005 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Dee - August 29 - 2:43 am

  Dont get me wrong, I love my car. But the only thing I have a problem with is the back window noise. It sounds like the windows are down slightly when youre doing interstate driving, gets pretty annoying. Other than that, its roomy, sporty, and has great take off.

  Good Car - 2005 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Grand Am - June 22 - 7:23 am

  This is a a really good car to drive! I love the look of the outside..especially the spoiler on the back. The radio is great and the interior is sporty looking. The 4 cylinder engine is pretty powerful and is fun in driving around corners and quick turns. Overall great car!

  Not Impressed - 2005 Pontiac Grand AM
  By NotImpressed - March 3 - 9:20 am

  I traded in a 03 Saturn for my Grand Am. I was in tears a month after my trade. The car inside is smaller than my little Saturn, the doors curve so it is hard to fit things in the back seat that you cant fit in the trunk because the opening to the trunk is too small. The seats are not the most comfortable for road trips. It is a lot of plastic on the inside and just make me think of a cheap Matchbox car the more I have to drive it. The starter sticks more often than not and after purchasing the vehicle, I found out that this is a very common problem for the Grand Ams.

  My Pontiac Grand Am SE 3.4 V6 - 2005 Pontiac Grand AM
  By wdsgto - July 17 - 9:15 am

  We bought our Grand Am used with 21000 miles in 2006. It has 71000 on it now, it has been quite reliable. The only issues have been: the turn signal switch clicking (the factory put too much grease, I just removed some with a q-tip and it went away) and a battery. Otherwise it has been a good car. It is hard to see out when backing up, and it has a lot of road noise.

  I love my Grand AM - 2005 Pontiac Grand AM
  By The Guru - October 6 - 3:13 pm

  I call my car a mini-rocket..Superb Acceleration..good mileage as compared to the cars in the same segment. No issues with the maintainence as such, small tweaks bound to be there. Only discomforting thing I found is the way the center console tilts towards the driver. Thats one of the small things.

  Riding in as a kid, driving it as a teen - 2005 Pontiac Grand AM
  By poley1 - December 22 - 1:23 pm

  Im not sure how many people are going to look at a review on a 7 year old car but here is mine. My dad bought A V-6 version of this car in 05 almost new, however it was used as a rental car. The only problems we ever had with it were the windows came off track (not a big deal you can fix it yourself), the rear passenger window it dead no movement at all (happened this year), and when i was 10 i had a mini TV and my Xbox hooked up to the 12v outlet and blew a fuse and messed up the outlet. no matter what we do the fuses keep popping. But overall now that its mine it is absolutely perfect for me to go back and forth to high school and work

  Nice car! - 2005 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Don - November 18 - 1:10 pm

  I bought this car used for my wife. She had an 85 2-door sedan SE with a V- 6 and we both loved that one. This one a 2005 4 door sedan with a V-8 was in great shape. Paid $8500 from a private individual (through E-bay), but still got stung with sales tax in Michigan. Care had 20,000 miles. The V-6 is nice, but seems to not be as peppy as the 85 was. This one has the spoiler, but no sunroof. Had to replace a power window switch first thing. Warranty work. One other issue is the starter sticks ocassionally. Well have to take that in before the warranty expires. Cant complain, Good car, great price and nice gas mileage.
