2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America

Well I guess we will start at week one. The brakes made a horrible screeching and crunching sound, so the car was taken back to the dealership at the end of week one, so they could look it over and adjust the brakes.

The tires are such an off size, which is great because no one ever has them on hand so you need to wait at least 3 days before they can get one in. They also lose air like a rotten balloon, on a regular basis. The rims are poorly made and don't seal to the tire correctly, which lets the air escape even faster. The stopping and grip of even snow tires is horrible, not a good car for snowy areas. I'm on my 3rd set of tires in 4 years.

The coolant system basically rots out of the car, the water pump has been replaced once by me, and 2 other times by 2 other owners.

When I start the car every time I drive it, I play a game, guess which dash lights light up in which groups. Lately it has been service vehicle soon, ABS, and Trac off, but the oil light regularly comes on as well as the low coolant while the coolant is filled up. The computer is shot in the car and it's not worth replacing.

The seats make your legs go numb after about 30 minutes of driving. The seat does not go back to a comfortable enough position for my legs to drive it for long periods of time; it hurt big time to drive it after I had knee surgery.

The car is quick but loud.

The speakers stink, as well as the sound system.

Save your money and buy a decent car.
