General Comments:
Love my car!
I own a 2002 Grand Am SE Black, 2.2L with a 5-manual Tran.
Haven't had any major problems with it so far, save for a window regulator on the passenger side.
Very efficient and although it lacks the power of a V6, the looks and overall performance on the highway makes up for it.
I took it to South Padre Island last summer, (I live in San Antonio, Tx) and spent about $35 in gas. That, to me says it all.
I use nothing, but Mobil 1 EP Full Synthetic Oil and One Quart of an Oil stabilizer every other oil change regularly. Also every other full tank of gas I include a quality additive to keep the injectors and fuel lines clean. Because I am of the opinion that if you take proper care of your vehicle, it will reciprocate, it so to speak.
I recently replaced the outside mirrors with the stylish GT version, which have an aerodynamic hole that in my opinion gives it a better look. I plan on upgrading the tire and wheel size to maybe a 17 inch size to make it look bigger like it's big brother the Grand Prix.
