acceleration could be better ... overall speed is not so great. one thing i like about it is the hand E-brake and also the front wheel drive is good for getting unstuck but not so much for drifting which is so much fun. I would like a new car but this one will do for now. it is a grey-blue

Pros — Hand Brake, front wheel drive
Cons — Front wheel drive lol ... falling apart

I loved my Pontiac Grand Am. It was my 1st car. It was great on gas..pretty quick..fit my friends in it..and made numerous road trips. I would still have it today if some idiot didn't take out his road rage on me and write it off! I miss my first car :(

Pros — Looked great and it was paid for!
Cons — nothing

After my Neon experience, I began looking to a manual transmission.  My red Grand Am GT was perfect (except for the 2DR style).  It handled great and lasted forever.  Upon my return from Iraq, the A/C shot craps and I had to decide if I wanted to fix it or trade it in.  It was low maintenance and fun to drive

Pros — Fun & sporty
Cons — 2 door, low profile

from day one the car was an awesome sports car. with very little work to the suspension it corners like a dream. 80+ on almost a ninety degree and the car just rips apart the turn with just sport springs and a set of traction ta  tires. with a pair of performance mufflers its give that low growl from the pipes that reminds you of a muscle car firing up. put an air intake on it and it gets real throtty on the low end and increases and already great throttle response.

Pros — its american made everything is good. when you drop hammer it goes. when you have to turn fast it throws you around a turn.
Cons — if you mess something up it will take out other things as well. everything is linked together closely. like if the dog bone (torque damper) goes your output shaft goes then your front end alignment is jacked.

This car cost me so much money...I could have a $5,000 car paid for by now. BUT it was my first car and it got me where I needed to go and it was running perfect when I got rid of it....

Pros — Comfy...looked ok.
Cons — Everything but the pro's
