  • Fast Good looking Fun but - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM

    I bought it new in sept 2001. It now has 65K miles on it. Power window motor repaired replaced 4 times. Turn signal stalk replaced. Blown intake manifold gasket replaced at 60K. Power seat broken 3 times and gave up having it fixed. Cost of repairs over 7 1/2 years is about 1500 which I guess isnt bad. Regular oil changes and 1 set of tires and brakes at 55K. I love the car but the darn 3.4s have a history of bad manifold gaskets. My 95 Grand Prix had same problem but no untillo 165K

    Last Grand Am was a 93 model. It gave me 5 years of "no payements" and while pushing 200,000 miles, was still running like a top when I traded it for the new style that I wanted! What a great car!

    Just rolled over 100,000 miles and have only had to replace a window motor and fan switch. The front in rattles when going over rough pavement, but cant really complain about the car.

    I traded my 2001 Saturn SC2 in for my 2002 Grand Am SE1. The Grand Am is a great car for its value. Even though I opted for the 4 cyl it is still fun to drive and can keep up with everyone else. The interior is very creative with the large round vents and the thoughtfully designed dash. The seats are comfortable and very supportive great for long trips. I would recomend the car to anyone.

    I like this car. Its sharp and sleek. But, I am a bone deep Honda fan. I thought I could deal with it...maybe that it was just all in my head. But, Im currently looking another Honda. But, to someone whos never owned a Honda, its a wonderful car.

  • Great Car for the Money - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Just bought a 2002 Grand Am GT in Sept. I currently have 3,500 miles on it. My experience has been great so far. The car has sufficient power and bold looks. The interior is roomy and sits four adults. The Monsoon stereo is great. The car ride is smooth and it appears to be well made. Very nice sporty sedan for the money! Its a passenger car with a little attitude that makes it fun to drive.

    Have not any significant problems with this vehicle. Some rust below back inside door. Pockets for gravel and dirt to collect in front of rear tires.

  • Windows, Brakes, Steering, now what? - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    My 2002 40,800 miles, Im the original owner. I commute to work via train so my mileage stays low & I only use it on weekends around town. It has gone to neighboring states for family visits & a trip from IL to AK once, hence most of the mileage. Ive been through window clip replacements, brakes, battery, tires/wheels, and thought I had the steering shakes corrected while under warranty but never could get to the bottom of it. The car shakes at 55 mph so we take my husbands car for trips that require high speed. Just this week I noticed a squeaking/rattle coming from what might be suspension/under carriage? I should have stayed with Honda. Again, only 40,800 miles!!!!!

    I got this car when i turned 16 and have had it for almost a year now. When i got it there was about 16,000 miles on it and it has been running great ever since. I havent experienced any problems. This is a great car, but its no Lexus.

  • Its Okay, bu could be better - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM

    Love the body and basic performance. However, car is shaky above 65mph and RAM engine and tires can make for a noisy ride. But, wide tires make it great in harsh weather.
