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.

  Good Car - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Good Car - July 13 - 3:36 am

  Bought this car with 96,000 Km. Car is reliable and handles great, looks great also. The only main problem Ive had with this car is the front end but with our roads its to be expected. They only have to develop a better wheel bearing. Replaced 6 times in 1 and a half years and the wheel bearings are not cheap.

  Its a great car! - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Doctor O - May 9 - 2:00 am

  This is only the second American car Ive ever owned. Turned in my Nissan Altima at the end of a lease and decided to buy a car. I was able to find a great deal on this car which used to be a rental car. It has a lot of power and looks great. I love the headlights that go on automatically and the fog lights look great. It is very responsive and has a lot of kick. I love this car, its got so much more power than my 4 cyl Altima. Ive had no issues with the car. I strongly recommend it for its reliability, its great looks and its power.

  30th Anniversary Edition Ram Air - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Simpledlte - April 8 - 10:16 am

  This car is totally awesome. It does everything but talk to me and it drives like a wet dream. Fast, Sporty, mine is bright red. My only complaint is speeding tickets! Owned it two years and all i have had to do is replace a fuse and routine oil changes. This car has embroidered leather power seats and all the whoopty doos you could want.

  Good "Fun" Car - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Dmon - January 24 - 2:00 am

  Overall a very fun car to drive, I have a few problems with the suspension "popping" when turning or going over bumps. Uppon taking it to the dealership I was informed that it was just body "creaks", and nothing could be done to repair problem. It was sad to be told that I spent $22,000 on a car that creaks. Engine continually revs when cold, even for 20 min or more untill it reaches 200 degrees, seariously cuts mpg.

  Gaskets gone bad - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By david - January 11 - 8:26 am

  Head Gasket as well as just about every other gasket Blew at 36K miles--- To find out this is a VERY common problem with this engine. Costs a lot to fix! The car is OK but the reliability has a lot to be desired. I’m getting out of this lease before something else happens. Time to buy a Honda!

  By movie_girl80 - December 1 - 10:00 am

  i went from driving a 14 year old mini van to this little ball of excitement. the pickup is unbelievable for a four cyl. ive only had the car for a few months, but i couldnt be happier. the interior space is excellent and the trunk is huge. i just cant say enough.

  Excellent choice - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Siryj - November 27 - 6:26 pm

  I purchased my 03 G-A V6 from a Avis rental company over a year ago. I have not had 1 problem yet! The take off of this car is its best feature. From a light, be prepared to leave other cars in the dust if you press the gas down too hard.

  Been a great car for me - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By wilkermom - November 15 - 2:16 am

  I have had a great experience with this car. I was especially happy when I moved from to a state where it snows and my car handled incredibly well in the snow. I lived on a very steep hill and my neighbors could not get up the hill in the snow but my Pontiac went right up the hill. This car looks nice,I like how it looks sporty. Handles well,gets good gas mileage. I always thought it was pretty roomy until a car seat would not really fit well in the back seat. Stroller also takes up the entire trunk. I have only had to repair the fuel pump and that was at 125,000 miles. All other work on the car has been just routine maintenance. My only complaint would be that its little noisy inside

  I love my Pontiac grand Am - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Stephanie - October 31 - 1:30 am

  I have had a great experience with my 03 Grand Am. It is dependable and comfortable. I have been in cars that ride a little smoother, but I would have never known mine rode hard if I had not test drove another car. I average about 22 MPG in the city and it could be better, but I am happy because the V6 really feels powerful compared to the 4 cyl.
