Good car - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By vengland - December 14 - 4:23 amI bought my grand am in June of 2008 with 114,000 miles on it. I had one problem when the gas cap didnt get tightened up properly and the car wouldnt start. But I have had no other problems with it. Its reliable, gets ok gas mileage and I would buy another one just newer next time. I am a big fan of GM products and this car is great. I love the way it looks and the sound system is awesome.

Honestly speaking...... - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By BOY WONDER - October 30 - 9:33 amI just got this car (80,000 mi.) About a month ago. After reading some of your reviews im scared to death... Its been good to me so far. I did have to replace the turn signal and the brakes are a lil squeeky. But overall it hasnt been a problem. The gas mileage is ok, but ive had better. Thank god i got a 2 year warranty on this thing. Hopefully i wont need to get it fixed as often as you guys have. I love the car. But i guess ill update this thing in about 2 years. From the 94 nightmare ($500 every 2 months) saturn sl2 i had. This is a big improvement...Trust me!

I expected more as a repeat Pontiac cust - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By cojoe735 - October 28 - 2:00 amOverall, I have had a few nusiance problems with the car that I should not have had a problem with being a new car. I have had trouble with a side view mirror breaking during an automatic car wash, lost power steering due to a failed hose connection, drivers side window retaining clips failed, cigarette/accesory plug in keeps popping fuses, moisture in the taillights causing the turn signals to fail, abs never worked correctly, brake replacement @ 10,000 miles. Overall, Its a great looking car with alot of power for its class. The great looking style and power almost makes it bearable to put up with the mechanical short-commings of this vehicle.

Grand AM - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By Kriss - August 30 - 4:53 amI have had my Grand AM for 2 years now and its been a horrible experience. They are made very poorly, and nothing is easy to get to when trying to fix it. It has broken down 4 times already and nothing has been cheap to fix. It still runs and I am still driving it but I hate it. It is a very unreliable car and Im hoping to sell it or trade it off as soon as possible because I have a baby on the way and I dont want to be driving a unreliable car when I have a newborn.

the best car i have owned - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By hotsnowfallsup88 - August 17 - 2:16 amI love my gramd am. Sure a few things have gone wrong but nothing serious whatsoever. The check engine light goes on whenever I drive over a large bump in the road but my mechanic just said thats because something is getting stress put on it and sending a signal to the engine saying it needs to be fixed when it actually doesnt. Pontiacs have a lot of computer codes inside of the car and thats why a lot of these reviews say "my check engine light is always on". Other than that I love this car. It has a Nice pick-up and has awesome fuel economy.

have enjoyed this car - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By fungirlok - July 23 - 10:00 amThis was my first brand new car, and it has been reliable and very fun to drive. Had 4 years, with 50K miles, havent had many problems. Got my first bad suprise when I had to replace a tire, almost 160 for one! My fuel filter and pump went out, left me on the road on Thanksgiving, $800 repair!, advice, replace the fuel filter every year, this is not listed in the manual. Also, what is up with the brakes? Mine make noise, especially when it is humid. Also my pads are warped because GM used cheap brakes for production. Hibdon says they are fine, but I still have to put up with the noise.

Very good car for the money - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By Just me - June 21 - 2:00 amI bought this car used with 28,000 miles on it. In the 2+ years since I have had it, I only had to change the oil and put on brakes around 60,000 miles. it has very good pickup for a 4 cylinder and Ive gotten better mileage than advertised (30-34 mpg).

Not my top choice - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By keith - May 15 - 6:53 amI liked this car when I bought it in 2005 with 70000 miles, thats where the fun stopped. Now has 92000. My biggest peeve is the bad gas mileage. You can hear your money thrown away in the guzzle sound the motor makes. The window motors are crap. They make weird noises and seem like they will break, already replaced one. The interior is just plain ugly. Sound system is great though. Single CD with equalizer. Amazing bass as stock. And I cant go anywhere without the front end bottoming out. Steep driveways, curbs, you name it. But the car gets me where I need to go. Just not very high quality of a car. I like the new g6 coupe, but my car makes me think twice about another Pontiac.

Great car, horrible service from Pontiac - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
By K. Janz - April 15 - 10:00 amI bought my 99 GT as a "GM Certified Used Vehicle". While it was still under warranty the paint started to peel badly on the trim moldings behind both windows. I took it to the local Pontiac dealership & they suggested calling Pontiac because they wouldnt do anything for me. Ponitac refused to do anything about it as well. They gave me every excuse they could think of including that this was normal wear and tear. (the car was only 2 yrs old) Pontiac completly rejected the idea of taking care of this small paint job & taking care of me as their (former) loyal customer. This is a great car, one of the best Ive owened, but I will not buy another Pontiac after the treament I recieved!
