2002 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"It is a nice, fast car that is very comfortable and smooth to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Most of the problems I have had with this car were with the brakes. I've had to have the brakes replaced 3 times now in the past 2 years.
Now with my car having kind of high mileage, it's starting to sound different and louder than before. It still sounds great, but just different, which is expected.
General comments?
Overall, I haven't had any major problems with the car and I really love driving it. It's a nice car that is fast enough for me with its 3.4 liter V6.
The car is very appealing inside and out, and drives very smoothly.
People always tell me that when Pontiacs start having problems, you can't fix them. But I know that it's all about how you drive and take care of the car. If you treat your Grand Am with respect and change the oil every 3,000 miles, you shouldn't have any problems. At least I never have because I've taken good care of it.
