It Is Going To Cost A Arm And A Leg To Detail To Perfection. :) — The Pontiac Grand Am GT has a nice smooth ride to it. The color is a awesome Metallic Orange with a hint of Red. Also, it is the Ram Air series, so you can put a lot of detail into it. The car has a minimum maintenance to it, because of it being a low rider and have to watch out for curves and parking stalls. You don't want to scratch any paint off the bottom, Right.

Fun To Drive, Great For First Car And Quick Commuting And Track Days — Runs nicely, has never needed any major repairs, gets great fuel economy for the size and power, very fast and light car for its class, extremely fun to drive. It is a great tuner car for. Would highly recommend the v6 with the GT trim package.

Torque...steering...body stlying

Pontiac Grandam — Amazing torque...but not too powerful for the front wheel drive system. Interior is lacking compaired to most modern cars. So beautiful in the corners though, even when the back wheels slip out from behind you. All it takes is a little skill and a flick of the wrist to bring you back from the pearly gates.

better HP for chep, wheel asembly breakaway

Cons

head lights, and trany dip stick

04 Grand Am Se1 — after some slight modifying (K&N air filter and cherry bomb glass pack) it has some good take of and will sqeal the tires at 1200 RPM's. they made the front wheel asembly out of some weaker meatls so if u come close to fliping it when u put it sideway it will snap. one bad thing they did was put the head lights on one pice that runs the wideth of the car so in order for u to repleace the head lights u have to remove the front bumper. there is no dipstick for the trany fluide.

not enough power for me lol

Sc/t — Just wish it was a manual with alittle more power. Like the SC/T concept. Supercharged 6 speed woulda been nice from the factory. Appearance wise they did a good job. Performance can top a GTP my main liking for the 3400 over the 3800

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Dependable — I liked everything about the car. Stereo sounds good for factory stereo. It has good get up and go engine. It rides real smooth on the road and there is a lot of leg room for the people in the back seat.

Pros

Size and color are actually why I bought this car, and that it is one of the only V6's still readily available at a decent price.

Cons

That a lot of the electrical does not work properly, but this is because the dealership did not fix the car before selling it.

If Everything Would Have Worked From Day 1 I Would Love This Car. — I bought this car used, and it had been used quite a bit. It isn't the car's fault, but they sold it to me in not a very good condition. But everything that does work works well, and I love driving my car :]
