  Best when comparing - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By sweetmusic - July 30 - 10:00 am

  This is my third Grand am and my first 6cyl. I also bought it withe the SC/T hood. It is exteremly sharp looking and is one of the few in town, at least for the time being. I test drone cars like the 2003 TiburonGT, Stratus R/T and camaro, and the Grand am drove better and I got it loaded for the same if not less than those other cars.

  Awsome, sporty, and perfect for teens - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Alex T - July 30 - 10:00 am

  My parents bought me the SE 4-cylinder after my other car broke down. This car is great to drive and picks up chicks left and right. I had to have the cruise control module replaced after the first 3k miles but have had no other problems. The wiring in the car is a little funny, so have any alarm or keyless entry system done by a pro. This car is very quick even for being 140 horse. Overall I love this car and would reccomend it to anyone!

  Second Time Around - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By jkidd - June 17 - 2:00 am

  I owned a 99 GA SE sedan and now an 02 SE1, I even got the same color. This one is loaded, except the V6. Differences? You can turn the DRLs off, but the parking lights remain. Chimes for the various reminders are not as loud as they were in the 99. A nifty cup holder was added on the console. The new 2.2 liter 4 cylinder engine vs the 2.4. I keep reading about how smooth & quiet the new 2.2 is. I find the new engine to be loud, it makes a clicking sound even @ idle. The car is less torquey, fuel mileage is exceptional. 2 nagging concerns on build quality. A rattle in the roof liner near the moonroof button. Plastic pieces in my car are not flush.

  By multani4 - May 21 - 10:31 pm

  Great when bought brand new. but beware of engine problems. #1 lower intake leaks. Head Gasket leaks. hard on brakes. stay away from this vehicle or any other gm vehicle with the 3.4l and 3.6l and 3.8l engines they all have issues with leaks.

  Piece of Crap - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By becky29 - May 13 - 7:01 am

  Bought this car with 52,000 miles on it for 11,500. Within the first 6 months I replaced the front main gasket and 3 driver side window regulators. I just replaced my passenger reg before Christmas. This car has been in and out of the shop since I bought it in 04. It has 120,000 miles now and is back in the shop as I speak. The oil, thermostat, and temperature sensors are being replaced along with power steering pump. Ive had O2 sensor, air compressor, plugs and wires replaced. The list goes on and on if you get my point. I wouldnt recommend or sale this car to my worst enemy!!!!

  This car is the fwd car Ive ever onwed! - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Chris Circe - April 17 - 2:00 am

  Let me start by saying, I LOVE THIS CAR! This car is great. I have had no problems with it. Its only been in the shop for a scheduled oil change. I just love the design of the car. The aggresive look, and the torquey Ram Air V6. If you are loking in to buying this car, you must. It will be the best money you will ever spend on a car. If you do by get the GT.

  One great car (3.4 L V-6 GT1) - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By OPstud326 - March 7 - 5:50 pm

  So I have to say this car rocks. I did a little modifying to the engine like put in a better air intake, put on high performance tires, and a different exhaust. The manual says that it started with 17 hp but with all my work it is probably around 225 hp now. I have ot say it is super fast. It is auto but when I drop it into first and work it like a stick I can pull a 5 second 0-60. My top end I actually beat a v8 camaro from 60-120. It is a great ride. The only complaint is in the manifold the gaskets keep breaking. They are cheap and plastic surrounded by metal so they will break in all of your cars promise. But take good care of ur car and I guarantee ur car will return the favor. Good buy

  Dont do it - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By rodeo3829 - February 28 - 10:53 pm

  I am writing this in order to save at least one person from my experiences with this car. It has been in and out of the shop since purchasing. The car only has 60,000 miles and just this year alone I have put in 2000.00 in repairs, not maintenance but repairs. The car has always been maintained to OEM specifications. The engine light is back on again, that will probably be another 1000.00 Oh and the cruise control light comes on even when the cruise is not on. It goes through brakes every 30,000 all around. Run as far and as fast as you can from this car.

  Great Car - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
  By turtlboy - January 29 - 10:00 am

  I just sold my 1999 GA SE and bought a 2002 GA GT. I was very happy with my 1999 model, so happy that I decided to buy another one! I went for the GT model this time, wow! Go for the GT, it doesnt cost much more and well worth it. I love the bigger engine, the tighter suspension, the Goodyear Eagles, and the monsooon stereo!
