Used 2002 Pontiac Grand Am Sedan Consumer Reviews
Somewhat of a Good Car
Only had for one year, and had to replace the ignition switch twice. Been dumping money into it left and right.
in the shop moe then
My car has been in the shop more then I have driven it. One of tires has come apart in pieces, the window on the drivers side did not roll up after 10,000 miles, they had to replace the guide the switch and the relay, I had to have the intake gasket replaced 2 times with only 20,000 miles on the car, then the blinker stayed on and when I took it to the dealer they said there was going to be a recall on the Grand AM. Over all this car is helping me make my mind on another car because all the rental cars that I have gotten while my car was getting fixed.
My car may be totaled now
This is a great car although the exterior body parts are really upsetting. My car was parked when some guy floored in reverse into the back of it hitting the right side Quarter panel and if you don't know what that is it is like the front fender, well anyway from the force of the impacked the car slid into another car smashing the left side quarter panel well now my car is in jeopardy because the quarter panels are something called a unibody which is a whole bunch of pieces welded together
Great Car. Will Buy Another Again.
This is my first car, which was bought from a craigslist seller. At first I didn't care to much for it since it was common, but i later realized how nice this car really looks compared to others I see on the road today. The interior is nice, and easily customizable. The exterior of the car is nice, and looks sporty. I have had only one issue with it. It died once at a stop sign, it started back up and was fine and had not had this problem for over a year now. When my brother gets this car, I will probably just buy another (newer) Pontiac Grand Am.
Improvements Needed
I have had this car in the shop 12 times for repairs to the front end. It still has an annoying noise which cannot be fixed.
I Love My Car
I got this car when i turned 16 and have had it for almost a year now. When i got it there was about 16,000 miles on it and it has been running great ever since. I haven't experienced any problems. This is a great car, but it's no Lexus.
Enjoyable Grand Am
I traded my 2001 Saturn SC2 in for my 2002 Grand Am SE1. The Grand Am is a great car for its value. Even though I opted for the 4 cyl it is still fun to drive and can keep up with everyone else. The interior is very creative with the large round vents and the thoughtfully designed dash. The seats are comfortable and very supportive great for long trips. I would recomend the car to anyone.
Quality slips QUICKLY as car ages
Well, brakes replaces... now intake manifold gasket is bad... at 37000 miles. This is becoming a very weak point in these cars. As the cars get older, their weak quality shows through -- typical for GM I guess.
FUN CAR
THIS CAR IS ONE OF THE FINEST CARS I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE SEATS ARE EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE AND THE RIDE IS SUPERB.IT REQUIRED A MINIMUM OF SERVICE WORK AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TRUSTWORTHY AND VERY HELPFUL. WOULD NOT HESITATE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER PONTIAC IN THE FUTURE.
ALL GOOD
I love the my Grand Am, just wished that I could have affored the Grand Prix. The only major maintance that it need was a replacement of the lower intake manifolds. After it was replaced I got better performance from it. All in all the GrandAm is a good starter car, but if you have the extra money I would recommened the Grand Prix GT just because of the larger size and increased performance.
