2002 Pontiac Grand Am OWNER RATINGS & REVIEWS
Blue Ash, Ohio
Old ugly reliable.
My current daily driver is a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE1, a car I purchased in college that I have yet to replace, but I am urgently working on that effort to do so. So, without much ado, there is a lot I dislike about this car. The seating and suspension are like a rickety old sports car, which is to say stiff and unforgiving. The seating is abominable, absolutely uncomfortable. The window motors burn out all the time. The environmental controls are not great either. I had to get an extensive tune-up. The performance is okay at best, but for the sake of parity is probably junk.

Reliable, economical
I really enjoyed the vehicle, and it was one of my favorites before it finally gave out after years of service. It was a very reliable car, and parts for it were cheap. Additionally, it has very good MPG for being so dated. While there were little issues here and there (such as with the door handles falling apart), there were no major issues for years. What I disliked is that a majority of the issues were cooling-related. Either the engine was overheating or the cooling fans gave out or the vehicle's AC compressor went out. Other than the heating issues, it ran beautifully.

What a nice ride.
The vehicle has a nice smooth ride along with very luxurious cloth seats. I have driven about 8,000 miles and no problems at all! The sleek look of the grand am makes you feel like you are in a new hybrid sports car, but you also get the fuel economy of a less sleek looking vehicle. It is the best summer cruiser in my personal opinion. It also has a CD player which is very luxurious in a 2002 car! Not many manufactures started putting CD radios in their cars till about 2004. The car also came with rim covers (that are not from the manufacturer) that makes the cars wheels shine during the summer. This car also came in a nice brown/gold color and when polished off it looks astonishing! I'm not exactly sure what the engine in the car is, but my grandpa told me the one that is in it will run forever. I can totally see that when I have driven 8,000 miles, being the crazy teenager driver I am, it has still held up! Not to mention you are able to turn "OFF" the light when you open the door so your eyes aren't freaking out at night getting into the car. I would recommend this car to anyone.
