2000 Pontiac Grand Am es review from North America
"A cheap affordable car for the first time buyer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 90,000 miles there was a minor leak from the engine coolant leading to the manifold. Luckily the problem was caught on time and the extended warranty only ran $100 deductible.
Had to replace the brakes and rotors also at 90,000 miles. Heck... not bad for the miles I put on it.
General comments?
This car has an incredible amount of power for the 6 cy engine.
However, with the power comes the gas guzzler.
