2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America

There was an issue with the "smog system" and my check engine lamp came on due to that. The car was still under the 'bumper to bumper 36k mile war" so the dealer fixed this. THey blamed the issue on my locking gas cap, which was a replacement for the OEM gas cap. I strongly feel the dealer popped off my cap, reset the code and sent me on my way. There was something else wrong. Also on my 30,000 service, b/c this was my first new car I paid $500 for the service and the dealer didn't do a thing on their list except the oil change. What a waste of money. Their reason was, it didn't need to be changed. Well, the list says "ITEMS TO BE CHANGED" not items to be checked. Also, I have proof they never checked anything b/c the other 3 spark plugs are a pain to get to.

Great Great car. Going on a long cruise and having the engine barely trying at 2100 RPM at 75mph!! Mileage is great if you don't race it! Name a sporty car that has a trunk and room for 2 adults in the back seat. Can't name one can you? I couldn't either. Camero's are crap and so are mustangs. One has a trunk (stang) the other has neither (camero). The Grand AM has a BIG TRUNK and ROOOm for 5 people. My Grand AM after being four years old still smells new on the inside and the pain shines better than it did at the dealer. Again, take care of your car and it will take care of you.
