Overview & Reviews
Base model SEs get a new 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine, while GTs get newly styled 16-inch wheels. All models receive a console upgrade and two new exterior colors.
- Lots of standard features, available five-speed manual transmission, crisp handling.
- Price creep has followed sales growth, true sport sedans need a five-speed with a V6, cheap interior pieces.

I love it - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
By yes2rock - October 3 - 2:00 amhad this car for a year now, no sign of the problems other reviewers have had. The handling is on par with sporty Europeans, and the engine is powerful enough so you dont really need a stickshift. This is the first automatic car I have had that actually performs . The ride is surprisingly quiet, and you just have to love all the little niceties that are usually available only at 30K and up. Best car for the money.

Great Car After New Parts - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
By Caboosey - July 18 - 4:03 amI bought the car for $10,000 back in Oct. 2004. It had around 69,000 miles, I gave up car at 89,000 miles. Gave up car back to father. Overall its performance was very good. However the brakes were replaced a 2nd time within a month of 1st replacement. When it was replaced 2nd time, both front calipers, front rotars, new brake fluid, & new brake fluid lines. (About $600 between both repairs. Brake pads were under warrentry from first repair). After all that was taken car of, It was very reliable and safe. My mechanic found the cars calipers & tie rods to be defective original parts. Hard to believe the car has great quality sound for a stock sound system.

Pontiac Forever - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
By Pontiac Guy - June 22 - 10:00 amPerforms like a 6 cyl. Handles with the best. Interior roominess and great, but understated cockpit, make my 2002 Grand AM my preferred sedan of choice.

My Second One - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
By Eldon McElhiney - March 9 - 10:00 amLast 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!

Enjoyable Grand Am - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
By GrandAmSE119 - February 1 - 10:00 amI 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.

Great Car for the Money - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
By Jack11 - December 8 - 2:00 amJust 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.

Its Okay, bu could be better - 2002 Pontiac Grand AM
By Becky1116 - September 16 - 10:00 amLove 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.
