I am turning 16 in a few months and I am trying to decide what kind of car to get. I like the way the Grand Am's look, but I was wondering a few other things about them.

-Is the sound system good? Does music sound like it should, or is it treble-y? And is the bass good?

-Are they reliable,especially in winter?

-Would a 4 cylinder engine or a 6 cylinder engine get better gas mileage? I have heard that the 4 cylinder gets worse mileage because the body of the car is heavy, and I wasn't sure if it was true or not.

The car i get would be a used car, not a new one (obviously since they aren't made anymore) but it would probably be closer to the 1999-2004 range. Any answers are appreciated! :)
 
Our 04 with the V6 has been pretty reliable. The only things I've had to replace are the brake rotors/pads, water pump, one wheel bearing, and spark plugs & wires. The stereo is decent (ours is the base stereo I think). We have gotten just over 30 mpg avg to a tank. Typically it's 24-25. The winters have caused no problems.
