#1	2001 Pontiac Grand Am Source: MSN Autos ...Efficient Automatic Transmission The automatic upshifts smoothly and downshifts crisply and works well with the V6. However, the GT should at least be offered with the manual in the interests of sportiness. Both the 4-cylinder and V6 only need 87-octane fuel and deliver good estimated fuel economy—in the low 20s in town and high 20s or low 30s on the highway.

All models, except the base SE, have a split, folding rear seatback that...

Indeed, drivers praise the V6 engine power, pickup, and excellent handling of the Grand Am, emphasizing its kick and spirited feel...
