    Very smooth ride, perfect first vehicle. Good on fuel economy for a 175hp V6 engine.

  • GM sold me a lemon!!!! - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    My vehicle was a lemon and GM would not stand behind vehicle. Currently in lawsuit with GM to get my money back. GM did not treat me like a real customer. A customer who before making the first payment car was in shop. Then in shop about every 2-3 weeks for same problem. GM customer service was terrible. If you have a GM product I will pray for you!!!!!

    This car is excellent.It is reliable and good on gas.

  • It only has 4 cylinders? - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I bought a 94 Grand Am SE sedan as my first car and i LOVE IT! I was a bit upset i could only afford a 4 cylinder but this car can hold its own against most v-6 engines, the car has been forgiving despite my driving habits. The 4 speed auto tranny with a quick pump of the gas will pin you to the seat. The interior is nice, but i wish the front belts werent on the door. I cant really complain, only think about how many tickets a v-6 wouldve gotten me

  • Solid performer; annoying problems - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Solid car, but a few problems include the terrible steering wheel shake at 75+ mph. Ive heard its from the tires and that they dont fit the rims correcty. Whatever it is, its annoying, and it doesnt go away. The tires also make noises that resemble that of a brake pad rubbing on the rotor. Overall, not too bad, just a few annoying problems with the tire/wheel setup (which no matter how many times Ive brought the car in, they say its just natural and will go away on its own.) If I had to do it all over again, Id probably think twice.

    Great daily vehicle. Good on snowy and Ice, excellent handling and acceleration. The leather was great and the inside looked cool. I would buy another

  • Improvements Needed - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I have had this car in the shop 12 times for repairs to the front end. It still has an annoying noise which cannot be fixed.

  • Fantastic - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM

    I just totaled my 02 Grand Am and I miss her sorely. For the 5 years I had her and the 104K miles I put on her, I never had to replace anything on her that wasnt expected. I kept my up on my oil changes and took good care of her with tune-ups, alignments and everything. She was a great car. I never had any complaints and I drive in Atlanta!

    I have had my Grand Am SE for close to 2 years and the only problem so far was the battery. Its a very comfortable ride and has a good suspension. A great vehicle. I highly recommend it.
