2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"A beautiful car to have"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the front brake rotors within two weeks of buying the car. Not a big deal.
Also replaced front brake pads.
General comments?
The car has amazing performance. The 3.4L V6 is super powerful.
The handling is extremely tight and smooth even at higher speeds.
The dash setup is quite stylish and unique. All controls are easily accessible.
The seats could be a little more comfortable. Probably would be if I had the Lumbar controls.
There is lots of room inside the car and inside the trunk.
I have to wonder where some people buy auto parts. I've purchased high quality parts and haven't come close to spending as much as some quoted prices. It also helps to do some repairs for yourself instead of running to dealer every time there is a squeak.
