2003 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 review from North America
"Great family/commuter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brakes wore quickly and tend to warp, typical GM.
Both front wheel bearings.
Wiper mechanism (not motor).
Hot/Cold adjustment knob tends to work at times and not work at other times.
General comments?
Overall we love it. Lots of room for two of us and one child. Lots of get up and go and handles wonderfully.
Great on fuel considering the 3.4L V6, and cheap to maintain.
Interior is comfortable and sporty with decent quality.
Great car to pick up used if you can.
