1997 Pontiac Grand Am 4 Dr GT SedanReview
Decent For A '97 — My Grand Am has around 63,000 miles on it, which for as old as it is, is a pretty low mileage. Runs well, although I have had some alternator troubles in the past. The interior starts to slowly fall apart, i.e.: side mirror adjustment, glove box, simple stuff. Certainly fun to tool around in, although not the most fantastic thing on the planet. Pros: Overall, pretty nice. Good for a small family. Fun to drive. Cons: The interior can be easily destroyed, but with care it's no big deal.

1997 Pontiac Grand Am 2 Dr GT CoupeReview
It Was Nice When I First Got It, But I Want Something Else — I've had this car for about 2 years and when I first got it I loved it. It had exhaust installed so it had a decent quiet growl and also had good acceleration. I've read that it gets about 18mpg City and like 22mpg highway...but the way i drive it gets like 15/20 instead (light turns green and i'm gone). I really want to get a new car and I'm currently looking for either a truck or sports car Pros: kinda fast (acceleration anyways) Cons: sucks in the snow, mileage is equal to a brand new pick up truck (almost). no leg room in the back for friends. |

My First Car — Right now, it's grounded. It has a possible broken head gasket. I gotta wait 'till I get some extra money to take it into the garage and get it fixed. I bout the car the end of summer 2006. It was it good condition, though I had to replace the ignition moduale shortly after I bought it. It didn't cost much to certify. It has a little over 300000 clicks on it now. If I can get the problem fixed, I'd say it's a good first car. Pros: Great car. Easy to handle. Cons: Bad for broken head gaskets. |

First "modded" Car — OK, this was the first car I modded, and I use the term loosely, because I really didnt know what I was doing. I had had another GrandAm and loved it but this one was a lemon- tranny blew and it was always draining the battery and tripping fuses. The factory paint was also quite poor on these cars and faded and peeled a lot, hence the excessive decals... Pros: Decent handling and power, comfortable Cons: this year had a lot of recalls and problems |

Bullet Proof Piece Of Sh*t — Pretty good car for what i paid for ($2000). Takes a lot of abuse (trust me). Takes a corner well, acceptable amounts of bodyroll for car, tires slip like none other, but that can be fixed. It has significant amounts of oversteer, and some torque steering. Decent performance with the 3100 V6, 155 HP/150 ft-lbs. 0-60 in my own test averaged about 9-9.25 sec, slightly slow then new, but what do you expect with over 100,000 miles on it. Fastest I've gotten it is 115mph, dont know the top speed. Gas mileage is about 21 in mixed driving with lead foot. I've never replaced any part on this car with the exception of the stereo (aftermarket) and bulbs. Body is decent, it looks ok from a design stand piont, but it has tons of hail dents. If you ruin any part of the car you can easily find parts to fix it due to the extreme amount of them built.(i.e. mirrors, altenator, panels, interior parts, motor) The dual exhaust is neat, along with the 16" low-pro wheels and tires. Interior is good with ample space for tall people (i'm 6'4), back seat sucks for anyone. Plastic everywhere on the interior. At night the gauges and panels have red glow, pretty sporty. The stock stereo is good. It has two 4x6 speakers in the front doors, two 6x9 speakers in the rear deck. The head unit is a AM/FM/Casette/CD that has equalizer switches. The volume knob has a mind of its own though. Over all this car is a pretty good car, decent performance, still modern and sporty exterior, and ok interior. I would recomend this car for anyone looking to get a first car or something you would want to build into a sport compact racer, it works well for both. Pros: Reliability, Cost, Fuel Economy, Avalible Parts Cons: Performance, Commoness |

My Car Was Pretty Good Until Someone Tore It Up. — My 97 Grand Am ran good and in 5 years, it never really gave me any problems. Then I sold it and in less than a month, they tore it all up. Owner for 5 years, 10 months Miles Driven per Year:20,000 Pros: quick, smooth makes corners really good |
