2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE Sport review from North America
"My Grand Am is fun to drive as it is powerful and solid on the road."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver and front passenger power window units replaced, the latter twice @ total cost of nearly $700.
The dashboard is in the process of curling up from the windshield toward the steering wheel. Told entire dashboard must be replaced: cost, $1000.
Seats and carpet have begun to wear badly.
General comments?
For the most part I enjoy driving my Grand Am.
The window and dashboard problems (see above) detract somewhat from my enjoyment.
The driver's seat is comfortable for up to 60 to 90 minutes. The car Any longer and the seat's very short length and lack of lumbar support takes its toll.
I love the red-glow instrument panel.. at night. However on a sunny day I essentially have no instrument panel. The sun ELIMINATES the red readouts.
