2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Looking Nice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes on these cars for some reason are a problem. I bought this car used and when me and my wife test drove it she noticed a sound from the back rear. Well, we addressed it to the dealership. They said they GM Certified the car. I was happy with that until I drove it for a day and had to return it. I realized that the GM Certification is sort of a joke. They replaced the back rotors under warranty. But still, that may be a sign of things to come. As well, the rubber trim does not stay on. Had to do some glue work.
General comments?
I fell in love with the car. Outside the brake issues and a little cosmetic complaints, I find the car wonderful to drive. I like the look. Not to sporty, but you feel like your in a sports car when your in it. I like the acceleration and the handling which is most excellent. Every thing is in a good place on the dash. Easy to read. Classic Pontiac dash and orange lighting. The seating is decent and road noise is low.
