2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT Ram Air V6 from North America
Summary:
This is a sporty, fairly reliable car that can fit on a smaller budget
Faults:
New tires, brakes, battery at around 55,000 miles.
In 2005, the driver's side power window is stuck all the way up, driver's size power lock shorts out, the turn signals short out, the hazard lights short out, and I had to reattach the rear view mirror to the windshield because it fell off. Also, the volume knob on the factory radio seems to have issues sometimes.
Starting to notice some road shimmy even with newer tires, especially around 50-60mph.
The air vents are strange, its hard to get them to stay pointing at you because they spin.
General Comments:
Great body style, love the shiny wheels and spoiler.
No problems with the sunroof at all.
Decent stereo sound, CD player and radio work great, except for a problem with the volume knob sometimes.
Tires are a little on the pricey side to replace because of the sporty size.
Cloth interior wears very well.
Good trunk space.
Sporty handling, quick acceleration, fun to drive.
A little road noise at times, sometimes feel the bumps in the floor and steering wheel.
Dash controls are illuminated in red, very easy on the eyes at night.
Fog lights are useless in actual fog, they just look cool.
Friendly dealer, easy to find parts.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Wow... sorry to hear about your bad luck. It seems like some people have little problems with these cars and some have problems from day one.. (Monday car vs. Friday car?)
