Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Lots of standard features, available five-speed manual transmission, crisp handling.

Cons

Price creep has followed sales growth, five-speed not available with V6, cheap interior pieces, iffy crash test scores.

What’s new

A new trim level has been added -- SE2 -- that offers buyers more standard equipment and additional options, while the SE coupe is no longer available. All SE sedans now feature cleaner styling thanks to less body cladding and smoother front and rear fascias. XM Satellite Radio is an available option on all models, while the OnStar communications system is now standard on all models except the base SE.

Edmunds says

A viable import alternative, but don't expect Camry- or Accordlike resale values or build quality.

Nice Car

Mo-mobile, 05/30/2003

2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

I love to drive this car! Definitely the best handling in its class! I was a little hesitant to buy a car with an automatic transmission but I quickly found the shifts to be very quick and firm. The engine produces enough power to make acceleration exciting and an exhaust note that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The exterior styling is quite nice (I'm always …

Best purchase I've made

Chris A., 12/11/2018

2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT 4dr Sedan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

I bought this car 11yrs ago with 68k miles on it. It now has 208k and going strong! All it ever needs is preventative maintenance, tires and brakes. Biggest thing I had to do was a thermostat and some coolant lines. Lights are on the dash but the reader shows no codes. I think it's just old electrical issue as a lot of GM's have after a decade. I have been very blessed with this …

Great coupe for the money

John, 08/21/2009

2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

I find this to be a very solid, great handling and fun to drive car. There is more then the rated horsepower available, especially considering the cars 3800 lbs. and it runs great!! I would advise i bought this NOT looking for a maintenance free car - it waas cherry but i replaced the coolant with NON DEX_COOL and a lower-tem thermostat - its a GM thing you need to correct but the engine …

Good first car, lots of problems.

2003 Pontiac Grand Am SE2 4dr Sedan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

This car is a good first car, but not much more than that. I purchased it from my older brother, who owned it for about 2 years. Before him, it was owned by a family friend and before that a car rental service, so my car has seen its fair share of abuse. When my brother bought the car, it had a leak in the cooling system to where it had to be filled every week or so. It was too expensive …
