Overview & Reviews

A new trim level has been added -- SE2 -- that offers buyers more standard equipment and additional options, while the SE coupe is no longer available. All SE sedans now feature cleaner styling thanks to less body cladding and smoother front and rear fascias. XM Satellite Radio is an available option on all models, while the OnStar communications system is now standard on all models except the base SE.

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

• Price creep has followed sales growth, five-speed not available with V6, cheap interior pieces, iffy crash test scores.

  Some problems - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Thirtysomething - January 28 - 10:10 pm

  I had to replace two or three parts of the ignition switch assembly, the battery, the rotors, the mirror adjustment joy stick, rear main seal, engine cradle (at less than 70,000 miles!), fuel pump, struts & strut mounts, all before 100,000 miles! Even with all of these repairs I plan on keeping it for my teenage son to drive..that way if he wrecks it..it wont be a big loss..

  My GT1 Grand Am - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By JDD - January 5 - 2:00 am

  This is a great running AMERICAN car. As usual, most people overlook cars like this due to the perception that Foreign made is "better made". I feel this car is going to be very dependable, and for the time I have had the car, its fun to drive, ok on gas, easy to park. Looks good even sitting still--far better looking that the current "rice" look seen far to ofen: civics , corollas, etc., with spoilers over a foot tall on the trunks of their rusted 4-bangers with a cannon size exhaust outlet and enough racing stickers to almost prevent the drivers seeing out of the windows...

  Best car yet - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Siryj - November 7 - 4:50 am

  I purchased this car 2003 SE1 with the V6 from a Avis rental fleet. I have had the car for over a year and I have NOT had one problem. The best thing about this car is the Torque. there arent a lot of cars that will beat the Grand Am from a red light. My only complaint with the Grand Am is the limited room in the rear.

  Near Exact - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By jscs - November 4 - 10:00 am

  I like this car. In fact, Im moving to a town where I really dont need it and trying to justify how I can keep it. I too have the "creaks" at times, but not always. Never taken it back to the dealer and suppose it does no good from reading these posts. Fine drive.

  This is my first GM vehicle. The car drives and runs pretty good. Wind noise is pronounced when driving on a windy day. Gas mileage could be better. The V6 is quick and has lots of torque. I am pretty satisfied with my purchase.

  Good at first, but it all went downhill - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By lilseany - October 17 - 7:30 pm

  I bought this car with 27,000 miles on it one year old. It started out as a smooth ride with a lot of power. After one year I had to completely replace the brakes. After hiting the 70,000 mile mark, Ive had to replace the alternator (very expensive for this car) and the fuel pump (also pricey). The car is constantly having some sort of electrical problem and sometimes it just doesnt want to start and has to have the computer reset. It has left me stranded too many times. I cant wait to trade it in!!! I shouldve listened to the guy who stopped me at a gas station and warned me that these cars fall apart after 60,000 miles

  FOR SOMEONE SHORT LIKE 4FT 11 INCHS THE SEATS NEED TO BE ABLE TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT. WOULD BE NICE BECAUSE THE SEATS SIT SO LOW SOMEONE SHORT HAS TROUBLE SEEING WHICH MAKES FOR A LOT OF BLIND SPOTS,OTHER THAN THAT THE CAR HAS A WONDERFUL FEEL AND IS COMFORTABLE TO RIDE IN ,WE USUALLY HAVE OUR GRAND CHILDREN WITH US DOES NOT FIT CAR SEATS VERY COMFORTABLLY THIS IS NOT FOR A LARGE FAMILY BUT 3 OR 4 CHILDREN IN THE BACK IS DO ABLE.TRUCK SPACE IS NICE I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT THE BACK SEATS CAN LET DOWN FOR MORE ROOM THAT IS A PLUS FOR SHOPING AND FISHINF AND MANY OTHER THINGS.

  Great Car - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Shattered7 - October 7 - 10:00 am

  This is a great car that I purchased new last summer. Excellent fuel mileage and its so fun to drive for a 4- cylinder. I do have a small rattle in the driver door that I have taken in once and its back again, so who knows what that is. Not too bad though. Considering everything else it great. Stomp on the gas and GO!

  Money Pit (not starring Tom Hanks) - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By jager - August 31 - 10:03 am

  Heads up about the 3.4s, they have a known problem with the head gasket. Mine was faulty, leaked antifreeze into engine, brokedown oil and screwed my engine. $4000 (no warranty)later I have a new engine and no confidence in the rest of the car. Also, I had to have the electronic brake control module changed ($2000, but under warranty still). I desperately want to like Pontiacs but my faith is weakening in them.
