    This car has been absolutely amazing untill I had to get the motor redone. The passenger side window had to be replace once the wire broke and it fell. This is the second one ive owned.. Other than the problems i recently had with the motor.. it has been great I would recommend to anyone as long a they were willing to keep it well taken care of!

    I have had my GR AM GT since 53 miles on it. I have had to replace brakes 5 times as they are too light for the vehicle. I have blown a head gasket every 60k miles, had the catalytic converter plug. all in all i have put about 8-10 k in repairs in 4 years into this car. trading off this weekend. car has 113k on it now.

    I have had this car for little over a year and have had it in the shop three times for serious problems (brakes, steering, and the engine kept overheating). I am so dissatisfied that I will never purchase another Pontiac again!

    We have owned this car since it was brand new. it now has 209400 miles on it! Ive out in an alternator, window wiper motor, and a new ignition. it still needs a couple things, like a new indicator switch because it makes a ticking noise while off, but for how long its lasted and the little work its needed, it has been a great car! it still runs great, and Ill probably get it up to 250000 miles before I sell it.

    I have only had this car for about a month now, but it has yet to disappoint me. The fuel economy is great, the style is stylish, the performance is good (Considering its still stock! LOL) Overall, it is a good car.

    So far so good, good in snow. Good gas mileage and comfortable on long trips. Lots of trunk space.

  • LOVIN IT SO FAR - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Ive only got 1100 miles on my GA so far and I couldnt be more pleased. I initially had a problem with the brakes but the people at Suttle motors in Newport News took care of it post haste and there has been no re-occurance, The interior and exterior styling are out of this world (even though there are a lot of these babies on the road theheads still turn!) and the performance has been first rate.

  • Second Time Around - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    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.

  • Dont do it - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    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! But - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    This was my first real car and I absolutely loved it! The car was great in the snow, handled the highway very well and looked so good on the outside that an additional custom paint job on the hood had passers by turning their heads and giving thumbs up! The GT version is not overly common and I enjoyed having a car that separated me from the cars that my friends drove around.
