I haven't had this car very long, but so far I haven't had any trouble with it at all. The engine sounds very smooth.

I don't expect any problems although the temperature sits at 200 degrees constantly. I have not yet had the opportunity to drive the car during the HOT Florida summer.

This is the 3rd Pontiac Grand AM that I have owned. My last car was a 1995 Grand AM GT. It had a 6 cylinder.

My 2002 Grand AM accelerates much faster than my 95 did, but I can't get it to go faster than 95 MPH. (My 95 did 110 easy!) I miss the power and the dual exhaust of the GT model. I got the SE - it has a 4 cylinder.

Other than that, I don't have ANY complaints about this car. It handles great. It has an excellent sound system. It has power door locks and power windows. It's a 4 door. It is sporty looking and economical. It's roomy and the engine is quiet. There's not a lot of 'wind noise' when you're driving. All of the controls are easy to use - the stereo buttons are large and I love the remote key-less entry! I didn't think I would need it, but it's great! It pops the trunk, too which is good when I am carrying groceries.

When I get ready to purchase another car, I will be looking at the new Grand Am's - but I'll get the GT!

Nothing. I didn't had a problem with my car since march.

The car seems perfect to me. The speed is good, it is comfortable, and U never had problem. Quality versus price is OK.

We bought the used 2002 Grand AM SE on November 9, 2002. The car won't start when the temperature is below 20 degrees. It turns over, but it doesn't fire. Most of the time I put it in neutral and coast it down the driveway and then it usually will start. We've had it in to the dealers 3 times; they towed it in twice. When they get it there, it starts. They say they are unable to duplicate the problem.

The car is sporty looking and runs good, when you can get it to start.

After having it for one week the rear speakers started making a crackly sound.

Three days after that, I had trouble getting the sunroof to open, it would only open occasionally.

When taken into the shop, was giving a Ford Taurus to drive for 2 days.

Went to get the car, and everything was fixed, they told me that there was one wire that controlled the "Sound and Sun" package and it wasn't screwed in all the way.

I've had this car since the very first day of 2002, and those are the only things that have gone wrong, very minor problems, no major ones. I love the acceleration, and the control. I do have a problem impressing people by peeling out, yes the car DOES peel out, but not for very long, the traction control stops the wheels, then starts them slowly again when it realized there is low traction. But the 0-60 in 7 1/2 seconds is awesome. Very flashy car. I love all the gadgets and the car itself. Wonderful car!
