"Sent them an email early in the day and I asked them a few questions including that if they responded I would be going that same evening to buy the car! No response at all throughout the day Poor and ridiculous Customer Service, I wonder how they benefit the Veterans as they claim?"

"I purchased my grand am almost brand new in 2001 with just 6,000 miles..It now has 177,000 miles and has proved to be reliable under the hood. The only "major thing" to have gone was the fuel pump..I have had this car for 11 years now and it is not great interior wise (knobs falling off, button on gear shift falling out) but for the little hiccups it has been a long term car."

"My mother bought this car in 2001 and used it for work. 5 years later she let my dad have it. 5 years later i find out they are giving me this car when i am 16. Best car ever. It's sporty, safe, good transmission, good steering, good brakes. The interiors are great. I HIGHLY recommend this car!"

"I bought this car back in April 2001. It had over 12000 miles, so it was basically broken in. I changed the oil to Mobil 1, fully synthetic. There have been minor issues with the car. Changed the head gasket at about 160000. A/C went out at about 230000. Other than that, no major issues. The transmission is just starting to go out, but this car is still running strong at 233000. This car handles beautifully in various types of weather from snow storms in the rockies, to torrential downpoars in new england. It handles the lake effect snow up here in Michigan like it was made for it. Some rust is showing up on the body, but after ten years, it is suprising that it didn't sho earlier. I have no complaint about this car, and it has worked so very well throughout the many years that I have owned it."

"hard on suspension, lifters got screwed, more engine problems. In winter its so low to the ground you will rip off your front spoiler (saw that on a ton of cars) Unless you have the GT model the engine is hard to work on/ will cost more money in labor to fix"

"Bought it in 2003 used with 46,000 miles on it. Since I was on the road a lot wanted a reliable car for my wife to get around in. The Grand Am has not let us down and other than regular minor service and fair wear and tear items has not cost us any grief (or money). Good fuel mileage, decent traction in winter (and that's 7 PA winters, folks!!). Our college student daughter has "taken over possession" of this vehicle and she'll fight us tooth and nail if we ever want to replace it. She'll carnap it and run this baby til it needs dentures!! And we feel perfectly safe with her driving it. We would wholeheartedly recommend this car to anyone."

"I was told this car was going to be a terrible buy and would be in the repair shop all the time, but my car is at 160,000 miles and the only major repair I've ever had to do was replacing the head gasket. That was pricey. But honestly I think it has done so well otherwise because I really keep up with maintenance. Leather has held up nicely, exterior is fine, no electrical problems, engine problems, etc. It is fun to drive, lots of pep, but as mileage keeps going up, I am starting to feel each and every bump in the road. I don't know if the people that gave this car poor reviews just got lemons or if I got lucky, but I really have enjoyed having my car."
