2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Great starter car at a great price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems that I have had with my car so far. knock on wood! I had to take it in and get the Front Rotors replaced right at 34000 miles. It was making a god awful grinding noise in the front when the brake was applied. It was under the recall so fortunately I did not have to pay for it out of pocket.
But it is getting around that mileage where it may need it again. My point is if you just simply take care of your car it should stay fairly reliable.
General comments?
The performance is not what I thought it would be. But let me assure you that in its class it is up there with the big boys and in most cases on the top.
