  • Best Ive owned - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I have not had any repairs outside of normal wear and nothing prematurely. It holds the road well and it never lacks power. With good tires well balanced, its smooth far beyond the legal limit. Ive only undercoated once, and the body is still solid. I purchased this car, off lease, just over a year old. I typically only keep a car 2 - 4 years, but Ive had this one 5 years and dont have any plans to trade yet.

  • GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM

    Car is comfortable, sporty, great gas mileage, and fun to drive. BUT, there is always a but... 45000 miles and I had to replace the fuel pump module, an expensive job, thank God for extended warranties. Also had a bunch of wierd little electronic glitches, radio listens to what it feels like when I turn it on, dome light wont dim after I reset the change oil light.

  • This vehicle is a dog! - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM

    My engine threw a rod through the engine block at only 107K miles. My driver side power window doesnt work, there is a recall on the signals (that only work when they feel like it), and my heater knob broke in half. This is my second Pontiac (the first was an 87 Fiero) and it will also be my last. Im replacing my brakes every 3- 4 months.

    I bought this car a little over a year ago and I love it. I have 150000 miles on it now and have never had a problem except replacing the alternator. I hope the newer Grand Prix is just as reliable because I think Im hooked on Pontiac.

  • Bad handling and always something wrong - 2001 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I bought this car thinking that Pontiacs are good car. Sure it looks nice on the outside and inside but its a piece of junk. I have put it in the ditch 3x, the handling sucks, the thermostat goes out and the brakes I replace every couple months. Not to mention several electronic things from time to time need to be constantly replaced
