  • Love it! - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Bought this car with 62000 on it in 2002 and now it has 138000+. It runs great, only one major repair, front struts, the rest has been basic maintenence. I do agree with a previous writer that the side view mirrors tend to become loose, why, I dont know, but plan on driving it till it drops! I would definitely buy another!

  • I Love My Pontiac Grand Am!!! - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM

    I absolutely love my Pontiac Grand Am SE. I have had it for two years now. I have owned several cars and this one is by far my favorite. It has a great look inside and out. It is comfortable on the highway. I havent had any problems with it whatsoever.

  • Great Car - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM

    This car has been great so far after almost 2 years, No really big problems except a tie rod that was supposily gona go, at least thats what firestone said. But in two years ive only put in $200 in repairs, thats pretty good considering my Ford Escort I had and was dumping a grand a year in that stupid thing. Tires sucked that came with it so i had to replace that, boy did that make a difference in handling around turns, and in the rain.

    I absolutely love my 200 pontiac grand am. The greatest part is when the sporty styling grabs the attention of the good looking guys next to me at the stop light! The only things better than that is blowing that guy in the other car away with the amazing takeoff! Eat My Dust Baby!

  • The True Meaning of superiority - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    This is the best car I have ever owned, Every feature is so perfect that it seems surreal. I have the 3.4 liter RAM AIR V6 and I have not been overtaken by anyone! The ETS comes in handy while leaving the line by eliminating wheel hop. The steering wheel cruise control and stereo buttons provide a lazy mans dreams. The seats give all the support and comfort I need without being too sloppy while maneuvering. This car can turn heads if configured right. I have a ram air hood, chrome wheels, tint and high perf. exhaust along with some other performance mods on mine and everyone says "Wow thatÂ’s one bad car man!" to which I reply, "Thank you!" with a smirk of superiority.

  • Pretty and Expensive - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Bought the car with 55k on it. It did all normal maintenance on the car. I had to change brakes every year, rotors about every 18 months. The clips in the drivers side window broke several times, leaving me without a window to use. At 90k the car just fell apart. First the wheel bearings and rack and pinion needed changed. Then the power steering pump went. Not two weeks later, i had to have the intake manifold gaskets replaced. After that the fuel pump went out on me. Not reliable at all. But fun to drive.

  • Love this Car - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM

    Bought this car new in 2000 and has had few problems, minor work here and there, now has 190,000 miles on it and doesnt burn any oil. This car handles real well and is fun to drive. Every once and a while the windows stop working, but a well placed hit can get them working, mind this cars mileage, and it gets 25 miles per gallon, so okay. The electronics are starting to go, but it is 8 years old, so not a problem. I would recommend this car to anyone and would probably buy another. The stereo system is amazing as well.

  • very cool car for the price - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM

    Smoothe ride with the feel of a muscle car.

  • HORRIBLE CAR!!!! - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    This car has cost me thousands of dollars in repairs, not to mention the repairs that had to be done while still under warranty. Repairs include: 4 brake jobs, intake gasket crack, front wheel hub bearing replace, fuel pump went out, power steering went out, etc. etc. I am trading it in and cutting my losses! Dont buy this car.

  • Going back to Ford - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I bought this car about 5 months ago. It ran much better than I anticipated; for a 4-cylinder that is. Gas mileage averages about 23-25 mpg. I know I can be a lead foot, but my 6-cylinder Taurus did the same mpg. Recently, I had to replace the catalytic converter- CC(covered under warranty) The mechanic noticed a bad transmission leak. He thinks that some of the knocking that I attributed to the CC was actually the torque converter in the transmission. I await the bad news. Also there is a groan at times when turning the steering wheel severely at low speeds.
