I bought this car with 27,000 miles on it one year old. It started out as a smooth ride with a lot of power. After one year I had to completely replace the brakes. After hiting the 70,000 mile mark, I've had to replace the alternator (very expensive for this car) and the fuel pump (also pricey). The car is constantly having some sort of electrical problem and sometimes it just doesn't want to start and has to have the computer reset. It has left me stranded too many times. I can't wait to trade it in!!! I should've listened to the guy who stopped me at a gas station and warned me that these cars fall apart after 60,000 miles
Perfect car for the college kid!

I love the car! It looks great and runs perfect. It is very fun to drive and the handling is incredible. It's 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.
Happy Owner

No quality problems whatsoever. I am enjoying this car. It feels safe and sturdy. I really like the cleaned up body style of the SE...not to mention the power of the 6 cyl.

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.
Brakes and Rotors

The quality of this car is highly unacceptable to me. Within the first 44,000 miles, this car has gone through 3 sets of rotors and three sets of brakes. GM considers rotors a "wear item." If you have not replaced your front rotors and your mileage is above 20,000 miles, prepare to replace them soon. This car performs great, is comfortable, and is very fun to drive. If GM could produce quality rotors, this would be the perfect car.
My opinion

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.
A decent car for the money

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 Pontiac's 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.
Fuel Pump, Electrical

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...wouldn't 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 handle's very nicely, accelerates very quickly and is a comfortable, sharp looking ride.
