mines ok

The only time ive heard what your describing is when two of my friends tires were at 20 psi because some idiots decided it would be funny to let some air out of his tires of his GA before he left for the store one day. It *could* be tire pressure

I have had no noises in my 2003 knock on wood yet but I only have 6,951 miles on it so I'm still trying to break it in. My 2003 has been treating me great the only problem I had so far was when a Tahoe rearended me in August so it caused a little rear bumper damage but it cost $752 to replace the rear bumper but it only cost me $50 because I have good insurance and a good deductible. But I had to replace both of my backup bulbs because the dumb GM dealership in my town forget to connect my backup bulbs when they replaced the bumper thefore they had the lights hanging down and theyre went the dirt and mositure and they got all dirty looking an brown. But they claimed it underneath my warranty because they were too stupid to say they caused the problem.

GTLUVA, may I ask how much a month you pay for insurance?

Seems to me that it would be a lot for something as low as a $50 deductable.

[GTLUVA]

I pay $121 a month not bad its the darn $368 car payment a month that kills me right now. I used to pay $157 month but it dropped down $36 as soon as I turned 21 in October. I never got pulled over yet and I still have all of driving points. I was paying $140 a month on my old 2000 GT but I have insurance through State Farm.

I pay only $110 a month for insurance on my 03 SC/T, but thats in my dads name and I also go through state farm.

As for road noise I have 18,700 miles on my 03 and I have yet to hear any strange noises, maybe you could take it to the dealer and they would know.

All GA's have rattles......

[wayne]

all cars rattle and squeak a little.my wife's 99 civic does,as did my 90 integra.i'm sure tha after 10-20,000 miles my GA will also make a little noise.

[Jagey]

could the road noise be due to cheap plastic interiors and crappy american parts?

wow sounds like some of you have really good insurance. I live in jersey..so mine is $526.00 a month....with a $500.00 deductable. This is with MetLife Auto/Home.

So you guyz are sayin all GA's rattle? heh...nice....NOT.

This is my second '03 grand am GT SC/T in the past year. The first one was totalled in a very bad accident (looong story) that was metallic silver....this one is fusion orange... I miss my Metallic Silver GT....

[RedGT2004]

My car used to make excessive road noise when I was going on the HWY because my window regulator was bad and it was shutting the window completely. After I got it replaced it made a big difference in the noise level.

[eaglesrealm]

Over $500 a month??? What??

As for the rest, I have thought mine was high at $100 a month for my 2001 GA GT1.

As for the person who posted about "crappy american parts", I would beg to differ, as I work in the automotive supply industry everyday for a global supplier.
