2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 review from North America
"Classy and affordable, You Can't Go Wrong!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I purchased the vehicle, there was a slight leak in the manifold gasket that the dealer took care of me before it turned into a big problem. After talking with my neighbor who owns a 97' he told me that he has put two in his car, that now has over 175k!
The Brakes ware fast, but will stop the car on a dime!
When I went to have keys made for the vehicle, the dealer had to make over 8 copies, before we could get one to work. I don't' know if it was their machine, or I just have a complicated key pattern. Either Way, after all the trouble I had with making keys, I don't think anyone will be taking my car anytime soon with out the original!
General comments?
I get about 25 miles per gallon with a v6 automatic. This is much better than my Dodge Ram with a v8 360. After purchasing this vehicle, I now have money in my pocket to actually do some un-necessary driving!
Very Roomy, and comfortable.
Great Pick up, Fast, Powerful.
I have every option besides the sunroof. This car is very stylish. I look just as good in this car, as I did my big boy toy! I am very impressed, and will purchase another one, or at least another one of their stylish new cars!
