• Lots of standard features, available five-speed manual transmission, crisp handling.

  Buy the extended warranty - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By IndianaDC305 - November 22 - 2:46 am

  This car was purchased used (1 year old, 20500 miles). It was mostly trouble free until 60000 miles. (Except for front brakes only last about 25000 before needing replacement). At approx. 60000 miles the ignition module needed replaced ($200) then about 50 miles later it required a front hub assembly and an O2 sensor ($550). Approx. 100 miles later the timing chain failed (while idling at a stop light) which caused valve damage ($1900). About 75 miles after that problem the SES light is once again on and Im sure that will result in once again many $$$ being spent on this car. It is not abused and it is maintained properly. Service is done by Pontiac dealership. Unreliable Lemon!

  BEWARE! - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Joro - November 21 - 2:00 am

  Car seemed to be a good deal for the money and the reviews were positive. Actually later found out that is sucks on the Crash test peformed by experts. Also at 20,000 miles needed a new oxygen sensor, and Now I am having front end problems. Feels and sounds like the front end of my car is going to fall off and that the whole front suspension is giving out! All this at the turn of 20,000 miles. What a YUGO deal!

  nightmare on wheels - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By phil - November 6 - 10:13 am

  If i were to be able to go back in time I would never have looked at this car. My experience has been horrible. The car has been in the shop more times than I can count. I believe it is in the shop more than it is in my driveway. One instance was that the trunk lid would not close properly. Their answer was "all the 02 trunk lids close that way". So they bring another car in and sure enough! This car was poorly engineered from the ground up. In fact I am on my way to get a new one. Save yourself the trouble and buy a honda or a toyota!

  Dependable, sleek looking, easy- handling coupe with no body rust or damage. Has been regularly maintained by authorized automotive servicer. Tires in good shape. It has been used for commuting. Good mileage, good for thousands and thousands of miles.

  2002 Pontiac Grand AM GT - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By mityhid - September 16 - 2:00 am

  The Grand AM overall is a very nice car. Other than brake rotors needing to be resurfaced at 41000 miles, and the fuel pump at 47000 miles, I have had no problems mechanically with the car. The fuel mileage is somewhat less than expected, I generally average about 20-24mpg. I have gotten 31mpg on a freeway stretch, but I have never seen mileage that high again.

  By TheKid - July 5 - 10:00 am

  The grand am GT is a fun family car. It is very reliable and comfortable. It is fast for a sedan and can beat most car(civics, integras) off the line.
