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.

Grand Ams Turned To Junk Cars - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
By Better Unknown - October 1 - 2:00 amDue to a severe vibration in the right front of this vehicle that Pontiac could not figure out where the problem was, I sold this vehicle for a Honda. Gas mileage was also unacceptable.

Long-term review - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
By Jim - August 8 - 7:40 pmIve had the GAGT over 6 yrs/70K miles. Seen many of the typical problems-replace front brakes every 15k, passlock issues, random clicking, leaking intake manifold gasket, etc. When I complained about the front brake servicing to Pontiac corporate, they were minimally helpful. Researching a bit, I found numerous consumer complaints, and several Tech Service Bulletins issues by Pontiac regarding the brakes. One additional item:(might vary by state) in MA, the GAGT is very expensive to insure-same as a BMW, due to repair cost. Many of the negative aspects of the car seem to be related to a corporate philosophy from GM, which with the recent bailout requests seem to run deeper than just the GAGT

~Fun Starter Car!~ - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
By GrandAm_CMD - July 8 - 2:00 amTook some time adjusting to driving this car at first, but it drives great now. Makes a wonderful starter car. The seats are very comfortable and help ease my neck and back pain. I receive alot of nice compliments and it fits all sporty, casual and formal events. Very reliable on long road trips. Fun Fun Fun!

Not a bad car if you get good rebates - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
By Tevin2 - July 8 - 2:00 amMy other car is a 96 VW with 165000 on it and the interior and exterior panels still fit better than my brand new grand am. Not impressed with the comfort of the seats not supportave enough. I had a little sticker shock at $27,000, but after rebates and gm discounts got it for under $20,000

Love my car, but it has a few quirks. - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
By Jared1987 - July 1 - 9:36 amGot it used in 2007 and it has been going strong. I love the smooth sporty ride and the tight handling. I havent had any major problems with it, however, certain things have started to go and with the Grand Ams, its the little things that kill you. A few months after I bought it my stereo light dimmed and its hard to see. The seal on my passengers side door is loose so when it rains heavy my entire passengers side floor is soaked. My air only works on 3 and above. Now my drivers side window is expendable and refuses to work sometimes. If you live in the Midwest please make sure you have another vehicle for winter. This gets hopelessly stuck in everything 3 inches and above. Bummer!

Awesome 2003 Fusion Orange SC/T Coupe - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
By SunriseGSD - May 26 - 2:00 amBought using GM Power Buyer internet deal. This car is a real head turner wherever we go. 2003 in Fusion Orange with 30th anniversary package. This 6 cyl has enough power to smoke Mustangs all day long. Not one ounce of trouble with this car. The fit and finish is spectacular. Proudly Made In America. Detroit stying and power at its best. I have always bought Fords, Im converted.

Nightmare - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
By Dude - May 18 - 4:06 pmIve had this car since it was brand new and its been nothing but a nightmare to own. Im now seeing many of the problems Ive had from other reviewers, including turn signal clicking when not in use,paint peeling, seals. Two weeks after purchase, the a/c went - needed air compressor and its been downhill ever since. I only have 31,000 but have had the brake pedal assembly replaced due to car picking up speed, even going up hill, needed 2 batteries replaced in less than 3 mos., sunroof leaked, had ignition cylinder replaced 3 times because car wouldnt start; 3 days after most recent replacement, security light has been coming on while driving and dealership says cant disconnect. Run!

1st Grand Am GT - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
By apple3006 - February 19 - 5:20 amI love my car!!! I bought it with 21K miles still under warranty. Regular oil changes, tire rotations, etc. this car runs fine. I changed the battery and had work done under warranty just after purchasing, since then, no problems!! I work at a high end car retailer and wouldnt even think of buying from my job. Very reliable car, good engine,love the leather interior, moonroof and "moonsoon" stereo. I get tons of compliments about the chrome wheels too! Only wish it had more grip in the snow and ice, you have to drive carefully in the winter weather. Just a tad bit more HP would make this car better, but its awesome!!
