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.

  Its okay - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By nene - March 31 - 5:53 pm

  I have had my G.A. for almost a year. Not too crazy about it. Every time a hit a bump or tracks, I think it is going to fall apart (rough ride). The seals around the windshield, and the back window are peeling off. I have had my radio replaced twice, for excessive skipping. It still skips. There is a leak somewhere on the driver side, so, I am forever thinking the door is not closed all of the way. The front seat is really cramped when theres a rear facing car seat behind it. I dont recommend the G.A. as a family car. I do, however, like all of the cup holders and the storage space. I was also looking into buying the Taurus. The Taurus was really generic, compared to the G.A.

  Good car - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Bob - February 14 - 12:56 pm

  I bought mine new in 2003 and had to have door skins replaced due to rusting the first year. Also front brakes keep warping the rotors and I don’t even use them very hard.

  Still running like new - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By MadWoman - January 29 - 4:53 pm

  Bought brand new in 2003, and am aiming for 100,000 miles. Car is at 70,000 now, and only issue so far is the engine would get hot, but never overheat (cheap intake gasket in this car - needed replaced). Ive always had maintenance done on time, cleaned it often, and simply took greater care of it than others found reasonable. It still keeps up with my lead foot, is still running and looking like new after three fairly serious accidents, drove smoothly between California and Massachusetts four times, and its fun-to-drive rating becomes "10" with the right custom suspension and engine upgrades. The electrical, engine, and mechanics, overall, have yet to fail me.

  Great so far - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By necia6 - January 9 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my 2003 Grand Am GT for about eight months. It handles great and is a really smooth ride. With my commute of 80miles four days a week, Ive really been giving my car a workout. The V6 engine results in fast pickup (good for highway lane merges), and has somewhat of a sporty roar when you accelerate. Overall, Im thrilled with my car.

  Happy Owner - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By LuciaA - October 2 - 2:00 am

  No quality problems whatsoever. I am enjoying this car. It feels safe and sturdy. I really like the cleaned up body style of the SE...not to mention the power of the 6 cyl.

  Not So Grand AM - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Bill Mitchell - September 28 - 7:33 am

  This has got to be the poorest car investment I have ever made. My Grand Am 4 dr. SE as soon as I passed the 60,000 km Warranty the car has been biodegrading on the road. Paint has literally been flying off the bumpers and the doors as i drive At 70,000 Km my air conditioning quit and some type of relay switch in the blinker has gone when I turn the clicking noise of the blinker keeps going for 45-60 seconds after the turn is completed. The fog lamps in the front tend to come loose and point in strange directions I have used Duct tape to hold them in place When called the dealer and told them of my concerns she said Oh they are prone to those problems but bring it in Pay for an Inspection

  Solid Car, reasonable price. - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By dtskiles - September 2 - 10:00 am

  I rented a Grand Am for a week. Followed by a Corolla and a Taurus. Pontiac has get-up-and-go. This car has more punch and better handling than an comparably priced Accord. However, I cant compare the reliably, nor would anyone be surprised if I did. Unlike their counterparts at Ford, GM remains a solid "B" student. They build solid cars at reasonable prices. Now if we can just discuss the over- stylized interiors. (Its a car, not the bridge to the Enterprise NCC1701)

  *Sitting on the Fence* - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By MizIndependent - August 14 - 1:40 am

  The Car is very nice looking,and fun to drive, however we had problems right off with the A/C- dealership refused to fix it, so car was not truly "certified used" a bit upsetting, brakes have been fine so far, the car is smaller inside then it first looks, we have a hard time fitting the rear facing child seat, and latch system not recommeded for use in the middle of the back seat. Impressive trunk space- Overall, nice economy sedan- but dont think I will buy pontiac again.

  I love my 2003 GrandAM GT! - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Raymondray - July 27 - 2:00 am

  I got A GrandAM GT1 Sedan,fully loaded. I love the leather seats! I got a beautiful color,"Polo Green Metallic" Which gleams beautifully when the sun hits it. I got the "Moonsoon" sound system which I highly reccomend,the best stock sound system I have ever heard. The 6 cylinder isvery quick,and with the "Ram Air" I got plus I put a K&N perfomance air filter in,it has about 200 horse power,and I have timed my car zero-60 in about 7.5 seconds! Good horse power for a V-6,I can remeber years ago when V-8s had 200 horse power. Over all a great car,I give it a 10!!
