2001 Pontiac Grand Am - Good student car

I got this car used and it's still running with 185k miles on it. The car drives really well, is comfortable, and gets decent mileage considering its age and size. And it's ROOMY, the trunk is huge, all of the passengers have ample legroom, and I don't feel bad if I've got a full load of people in it. But, there’s some negatives to it also. There are major blind spots for the driver, which makes driving it in the city a bit of an “experience” because you constantly have to be looking over your shoulder to see what’s behind you. Since I bought my car used, it has some problems that you might want to look out for: sometimes the car seems to be “dead” and it won’t start, although it’s always started eventually. That’s the only major mechanical problem I’ve ever had with it. It’s perform... (more)

Story

I used the car in a short film that I made, and we had to put 3 people with production gear in the back seat, plus the two actors in the front. We were in it for at least 6 hours in the middle of the summer, and we couldn't have the AC on because of the noise. It was a "fun" experience for sure, but it turned out great!

Pros

It’s roomy insider Large trunk Drives well Good gas mileage Looks good

Cons

Has large blind spots Interior is average Wheels are ugly

2003 Pontiac Grand Am - Fairly reliable, kinda cute, small

Overall my vehicle is well liked. It is just cute and fast enough to not be mocked. I've had few problems with the car compared to vehicles I've driven in the past. I like the little bit of kick it has. The interior is holding up pretty well and has virtually no damages to time. The exterior however has a couple rust spots, some trim has come off, among a few other eyesores. One major issue is the size of the interior. I'm just an average sized/slightly petite girl and even I can't get comfortable in the car. I can't transport really tall and large men. They just can't fit.

Story

Doesn't do amazing in the snow, but I haven't gotten stuck yet.

Pros

I really like that it has slightly better performance than many other vehicles its age out on the road. In five years of ownership I've only had to replace the fuel pump. I like the look of the instrument panel and vehicle overall. It's good quality.

Cons

Outside is not holding up to time that well. It is so cramped inside. The middle seat in the back is a joke, if there are three people the middle had better be an anorexic midget. It is inconvenient when there's a recall on your vehicle.

2004 Pontiac Grand Am -

My car is a tough cookie. Though it's been through a lot of wear and tear and has over 200,000 miles on it, it still gets me to work and all the other places I need to be - usually. There have been several times, especially within the past months, that this car has conked out on me. Whether it was the brakes, the starter, the oil or the tires, there's always been something going on with this old car. I've been stuck in my share of predicaments thanks to my car. Like being stuck on the side of the road, desperately pouring water into the coolant tank, trying to get it to cool off to no avail. Or having a tire blow out on the road, though luckily not the highway. Though my car has made my life a living hell at times, it's also the only thing I have to my name that can give me somewhat of... (more)

Story

This is the first car I ever owned, and I remember many nights where me and my best friend would go out driving at night and get lost in our town and just drive around and talk and take turns going up and down the hills.

Pros

The car has a pretty good stereo system, even though I somehow managed to ruin my radio. I also liked the coziness of the car and the 4-doors. That's always a plus. The A/C and heat work well and pretty quickly. The overall look of the car is pretty nice. Doesn't look too old, and the paint is in great condition after 13 years.

Cons

I don't like the fabric seats and the dashboard is made out of kind of cheap plastic. The radio itself isn't exactly impressive, but my display never worked so I'm biased. Being that it is a compact car, it's kind of hard to move furniture or awkwardly shaped things in the backseat or trunk. The trunk isn't all that big, but it's fairly deep.
