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.

  Mistake! - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Ashley - December 15 - 4:00 pm

  ONE owner. I bought new 10/2002 happy to have a new car. Headliner fell down 5X in the first 6 mos, then brake pads (every 4 mos & a few calipers) Owner of 5 cars in my life, ONLY 1 has done this, hmm?? Driver, doubt it. Then 2007 big ticket repairs, Dex-Cool ruined hoses, gaskets, manifolds THEN I find out about the Class Action Lawsuit too late to file my repairs. Also replaced many other parts. Do I go on? Not only did I pay of $24K new I have about $8K in repairs. Sell? find out about GMs extreme depreciation, I could not get this nightmare off my hands! 2010 with a 155K mi & needs 3K more in repairs to run, I cant give this car away at this point! Buy a GM, NEVER AGAIN!

  nice car - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Raymond Presley - November 22 - 2:00 am

  The 2003 Grand Am is not a race car by no means, but handle well and is fun to drive. It is also stylish, conformable quality automobile at a good price, especially with the $6000.00 + rebates from Pontiac.

  My Grand AM SE is a 2003 with only 32507 miles and it can really get up and go.

  Brakes, brakes, brakes - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By bhil1981 - September 18 - 4:30 am

  I bought this car hoping to have something that would last. I was wrong, this car eats brakes. I do not drive hard, the car is all highway miles.The turn signal clicks all the time, the car is airy and the car has had a leak since I bought it and the dealership could not find what was wrong. Im considering a G6 but Im not sure if I should give GM another chance.

  GREAT CAR have had 1 big problem - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By gmforever - August 5 - 6:03 pm

  i love the car to death i really do. great car and it does get attention even without doing mods or anything major to it. i got the car back in SEPT 2011 as a birthday gift from me to myself. 1 month after i got the car the number 5 valve bolt popped out and we had to rethread the hole which was a pain.but ever since i have had nothing at all just minor problems. headlights were too fogged over couldnt even get it cleaned up enough to make them look good or even improve driving at night. so brought new ones and thats really it. if anyone has had this problem tho please POST because seems im the only one so far with it thanks

  Poor Quality - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Phil - May 17 - 1:10 pm

  Ive had this 2003 grand am for 1 1/2 years now and have had nothing but problems with it. The turn signal/4-way clicks more than occasionally. Especially when it is cold outside. Ive had to replace both front hubs, a cv joint, the fuel pump, an ignition control module, and on 3 separate occasions, have had 3 rocker arms come loose on the rear head (by loose I mean they were lying on top of the head when I opened the valve cover). Ive replaced the brakes and rotors twice since I bought the car and have to do them again soon due to warped rotors. I do not intend to buy another grand am. Ever. And I do not recommend anyone else buying one. Unless they like to work on vehicles a lot.

  Too bad its an automatic - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By Firefighter Scott - February 7 - 2:00 am

  This car is a great "family" vehicle that doesnt look it! My wife and I are very happy with it. There is plenty of room in it for a car seat and all the items that go along with a baby. Great handling, acceleration, and feel. There is one downside to the vehicle. A car this sporty should have a 5 or 6 speed manual tranny as an option on the V6 motor.

  My opinion - 2003 Pontiac Grand AM
  By smiths7482 - January 21 - 2:00 am

  There is a noise that comes from the motor. I took it to the dealership and I was told That is to be expexted that. the factory was not going to fix the problem. They put a new belt on it to see it that helped but the noise is still there.
