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.

  Fun to drive, good on long trips! - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By alessing - May 2 - 12:06 pm

  Owned mine until 2007 when it was vandalized and totaled by my insurance company (ugh.). Very reliable and fun car for a decent price. Everyone constantly complains about the lack of power from the "Ram Air 3400 V6." The title offers more than the engine itself. 8+ seconds to 60 which can be an issue passing sometimes, however it has a ton of torque. Other than that its a fun car with decent fuel economy. Ive taken to the mountains of NC and it was perfect for what we needed.

  Try a Dodge Stratus instead - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Bob Westerman - May 2 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle pales in comparison to others in its class. Think carefully before purchasing one - just because it is a few $ cheaper does not make it the better buy.

  A Troubled Car - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By John623 - March 28 - 1:30 pm

  This was a "GM certified" car, with @ 27,000 miles on it. The "change oil" light was on, 1 headlight had condensation in it, the tires all had different pressure, and the intermittent wipers didnt work - so much for "certified". This was all fixed with a smile by the dealer. At 30,300 miles, the lower intake manifold gasket and water pump were leaking. Again - all fixed with a smile. At 32,900 miles, the lower intake manifold gasket was again replaced, and due to a "hot start" problem diagnosed as low fuel pressure the fuel pump was replaced. Again - all fixed with a smile. Overall. It drives well, smooth relatively quiet and comfy, and good stereo. Extended warranty a must!

  Brakes and Rotors - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Ben - March 17 - 2:00 am

  The quality of this car is highly unacceptable to me. Within the first 44,000 miles, this car has gone through 3 sets of rotors and three sets of brakes. GM considers rotors a "wear item." If you have not replaced your front rotors and your mileage is above 20,000 miles, prepare to replace them soon. This car performs great, is comfortable, and is very fun to drive. If GM could produce quality rotors, this would be the perfect car.

  Great coupe for the money - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By John - March 7 - 10:43 am

  I find this to be a very solid, great handling and fun to drive car. There is more then the rated horsepower available, especially considering the cars 3800 lbs. and it runs great!! I would advise i bought this NOT looking for a maintenance free car - it waas cherry but i replaced the coolant with NON DEX_COOL and a lower-tem thermostat - its a GM thing you need to correct but the engine will last foever - im a mechanic and trust me it will save you TONS of trouble. Ive seen GMs like this take some serious abuse and keep on going!!!

  I Love My GT!s - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By mem - September 25 - 2:00 am

  I have bought two GT1s within 3 years and love them........I drive so many miles.....Can go down the interstate 90 MPH and hit the accel and plenty of power.........No problems to take to the dealers ever.....I especially like the fold down rear seats as I am in sales and service and the sound systems are great.....My new car has satelite system which now leads me to bringing all my cds into the house........Resale value is less than desirable however. But overall I love em till I get more bucks to upgrade and drive less miles...Looking forward to my first Corvette............

  Not happy - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Okay - July 22 - 1:46 am

  I have had my G.A. for 2.5 years and have had many problems. I have had them replace the radio 2 times for skipping, still skips. The suspension went out in the front a couple of months ago, and it is starting to rattle around AGAIN! When I hit a bump or RR tracks...it jumps around. I have to take it in again because my power steering fluid is leaking and the wheel is making a grinding noise. I have taken it back 3 times for GM to fix the back door, it rattles. GM had to replace the windshield molding bacuse it came off! I took it in FIVE xs because the seat belt light wouldnt turn off (even when buckled). They finally found a short under the seat! I have 35k and looking to trade it in!!
