2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 review from North America
"The perfect college-student-economy car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My driver side fog light is out, and I haven't been able to figure out how to get to it to change it yet.
My radio used to get really bad reception, couldn't get any stations. So I took it to the dealer, turns out the antenna assembly was loose, and they fixed it, no charge. It works great again.
General comments?
This Grand Am is the first car I have ever owned (the Buick belonged to my folks), and I love it! I knew that I was getting a deal on a reliable car.
It was very affordable- and you get lots of style for the price. Plus, the insurance is affordable too!
Excellent on fuel.
It is holding its value well, and I plan to trade up to some other Pontiac next year when the warranty is up. But, I know I'll miss my first Grand Am!
