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.

  Bad Decision - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By mrsp1 - January 21 - 8:13 am

  After purchasing 5 other gm vehicles, i purchased this car used and thought that i was getting a quality product. Now 2 years 4 months later i sit having to trade the car with a bad engine. My car is not overdriven in 4 years it has 59,000 miles on it. The dealership i took it to in Escondido states that its just a valve failure and cannot tell me what caused it or why. While i was sitting in a dealership looking at another vehicle another 02 Pontiac owner came in and said that her vehicle was falling apart. Needless to say after 6500 in repair (much more than i can get on trade) i will not be going with another Pontiac ever.

  2003 grand am se - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By midnite - December 19 - 10:00 am

  I love this car. not too big not too small. I traded in a 2003 Corolla for this grand am. The best part is the smooth pickup with enough power to move out quick if necessary. It is a little too noisy . seems I have to turn the radio up there is so much background noise in the car. and the radio dosnt seem to have good acoustics. Gas milage is 25-28. am happy with this car. I owned a cavelier for 10 years, but enjoy the Pontiac much more . it is a 4cyl twin cam.

  GT 4dr SC/T - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By new buyer - October 6 - 2:00 am

  Got the car for 22450 before rebates. TMV was 22600. Its a black 4dr GT with the SC/T package, leather seats, sunroof, and it looks great. Considered the GT1 but the XM radio receiver looks pretty bad centered on the roof in front of the sunroof. So far Im pleased with the car, although Ive only had it for about a month.

  Perfect car for the college kid! - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By PontiacRocker - September 19 - 10:00 am

  I love the car! It looks great and runs perfect. It is very fun to drive and the handling is incredible. Its great for making the trek across 3 states to college with plenty of room for all my stuff. Most importantly, it is affordable! All in all, Im very happy with it.

  Fuel Pump, Electrical - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By ERIKKK - August 9 - 2:40 am

  I bought this car used, with 62,000 miles on it, after i hit the 63,000 mile mark i started having this goofy electrical problem where i would start the car and the radio, Dash...etc...wouldnt turn on. I am able to cope with it, usually it all kicks on about 1 minute after starting. 2,000 miles later the fuel pump went out. I love the car, but the problems are starting to irritate me. The car handles very nicely, accelerates very quickly and is a comfortable, sharp looking ride.

  A decent car for the money - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By mfish - February 24 - 8:56 am

  Bought this car 6/2005, and have 52,000 miles currently. Have the rarer 5-speed, 4 cylinder. Very good on gas; get 31 mpg on highway. Seats are comfortable for long trips too. Engine is peppy and spirited with the 5-speed, which is more in keeping with Pontiacs history. The engine, however, is a little growly (quieter on my Escape). Car is very reliable and have no leaks or major issues. My car has had two issues other owners have complained about: Turn signal stalk needed replacing because it would click after turn, and seams on bottom of all doors needed to be sealed and painted because of rust. Interior build quality not as good as newer GM vehicles. Overall, a good car for less money.

  Governers and Rear seat 60/40 split. - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By BJ123 - February 17 - 10:00 am

  Ok, I understand the reason for he the governers on the car, They govern Redlining, Top speed, slip shifting on an automatic. No problem, But why does the governer turn off the engine at 106 mph? I normally dont travel at those speeds, but when I took it to the track, It wouldnt perform past 106 mph. Someone owes me money or an explanation, I lost to a 4cyl stick Grand Am, I beat him off the line and in the 1/4 mile but when we went on the oval track I lost. He was able to reach 120mph now how is that fair? Rear Seats, ok now why cant I gain access to my trunk from within the car? The old Grand Ams were able to.

  Daves Review - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By davidw169 - January 6 - 10:00 am

  This is the most fun vehicle Ive driven in years! It has incredible pick up. I can go from 0 to 60 in about 5 seconds. The handling is far superior to any other car I test drove. Just a wonderful experience.
