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.

  Great Domestic Car - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Mike Reed - June 29 - 2:00 am

  Ive been driving a Grand Am GT sedan for six months now and I am very impressed. Its a great car, perfect for everyday needs with some fun on the side. The 3400 SFI is a great engine and very reliable. The pricing of Grand Ams seems to be creeping upwards, but then, it is worth it in my opinion rather than to be driving an Accord with 100 million other people.

  Loving it - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By phantom505 - May 17 - 2:00 am

  This car is a nice ride for the front and back passengers. Nice style in and out. The V6 is good, but better yet with a little bit of tinkering with the intakes and exhaust. The only gripe most Grand AM GT owners have is the fact that GM decided to put a 4T45 transmission. The GT simply needs more. A manual would be nice too.

  Great car! - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By jtrout - April 4 - 2:00 am

  This is a really fun car to drive, my second GA, the last one I had required minimal maintenance and I got 170k miles out of it. Great goodies and price to beat! Would reccomend this car to anyone looking for performance and value in a mid size.

  Good Car for a Good Price - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By ND_OLE - January 20 - 6:46 am

  After owning a 97 GASE coupe for 3 years I was thrilled to get my 03 GAGT SC/T coupe in December as a Christmas present to myself. I love the exterior design especially with the SC/T package. Mine is one of the few bright red SC/T coupes and it always gets attention whenever I take it out. Since this is my daily driver (I have a 100 mile/day commute to work) interior comfort was a must, and my GAGT doesnt disappoint. So far with 41k miles (bought it with 17.5K) the only thing to go wrong was the blower motor resistor, a typical problem for the 99+ GAs. Would definitely recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a sporty car on a budget.

  Great second car - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By jtemple5 - January 8 - 10:38 pm

  Bought this car used back in 2008 with around 55k miles on it... just hit 140k and am looking to replace it, but not for anything specific, Im just anticipating a problem since Ive never had one yet. Even winding up nose first in a snow bank on the side of the highway didnt stop it. Aside from minor wear and tear work, weve never had to replace anything major, even with it being our only car for 4+ years, surviving all those New England winters. Excellent car, excellent style, and roomy inside even with its smaller exterior.

  Hate this freakin car SOOOOOOOOO Much - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By P.O.S. car - December 25 - 11:50 pm

  Had this car for 6 years and have nothing but problems with this car. Initially, the car was fun to drive and fulfilled its purpose. After about a year and a half, everything started going south. This piece of crap has front rotor, rear drum brakes. As such, the brakes wear down pretty quick. Have replaced brakes/pads/rotors 5 times so far. Have also replaced entire ignition system, fuel tank, fuel pump, and various other things. Bought car new for $14k and, so farm have spent about $7- $8k in repairs over the life of ownership. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING THIS CAR.

  I enjoyed it but..... - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By formergrandamowner - December 11 - 2:00 am

  The car handled great, and the responsiveness was great. I was not very satisfied with the quality though. Had a leak from day one that the dealer could not find, finally turned out to be sun roof drains. The brakes wore out quickly under normal conditions, as did the struts and related parts. At trade in time, I got less than half the cost of the car, (my fault) but feel the car should have held its value a little better.

  GREAT CAR, POOR ENGINE COMPONENTS - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Scott Loney - December 2 - 8:23 pm

  I have owned my Grand Am for over two years and have had no mechanical issues until now (car has 34,750 miles on it).The problem is the intact manifold is poorly constructed. The bolts that hold the system together work loose over time, causing the intake manifold gasket to come apart and engine coolant to leak out. This is a known problem with GM 3.1 and 3.4 liter engines, yet GM refuses to design a new intact system to correct this issue. It is a somewhat expensive repair ($700 to $800). Fortunately, mine was covered under warranty. So owners beware!!! If you see or smell engine coolant, you have an idea of what your repair most likely will be. Aside from this problem, car is great!
