1997 pontiac grand am review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. As such, its development and evolution receives a lot of attention from both customers and pontiac dealers. The grand am has received some significant refinements recently. The interior and front and rear fascias were freshend last year. When it first appeared, the grand am was one of three equally important corporate cousins, along with the buick skylark and oldsmobile achieva. But it seems likely that by the end of the 1997 model years the grand am will be the only survivor. walkaroundthe bold, distinctive styling of the grand am begins with its familiar split-grille nose. The roof pillars are thin, minimizing blind spots for driver and passengers. at the rear, a short deck lid conceals 13. 4 cubic feet of luggage space, good-sized by the standards for this class. This area is expandable via a folding rear seat when the sport interior option is ordered. the grand am's sporty styling still stands out in a field of family sedans, even though its basic look is more than 10 years old. The front and rear fascias, redesigned last year, successfully freshen the overall body shape. we prefer the look of the se model (from $15,159, including destination) with its cleaner lines. The gt coupe (from $16,399) comes with lower body cladding, a rear deck lid spoiler and other aerodynamic touches that give it that pontiac flair. But it's a look that's becoming a trifle dated in a new age of uncluttered exterior designs. the gt coupe also comes with a suspension tuned more for spirited driving, including more aggressive tires on 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels and larger anti-roll bars that reduce body lean in corners. interiorpontiac paid particular attention to redesigning the interior last year. Improvements include a new instrument panel with new analog instrumentation that glows in orange and red at night for a racy, cockpit appearance, which is consistent with pontiac's carefully cultivated performance image trademark touch. The instrument package includes a tachometer for all models. there's new door trim, integrated cup holders and an overall improvement in ergonomics, making secondary controls a littler easier to find and use. Dual airbags are standard. in general, we think the updates work, making the grand am as user friendly as many of its more contemporary competitors. the driver sits low in the cockpit, behind a properly proportioned steering wheel. The gauges are immediately in front and clearly visible. the steering wheel includes wheel-mounted radio controls, though we found it easy to change tuning by mistake while driving. Misplace a palm, and vivaldi suddenly gives way to van halen. However, the main controls for the grand am's standard am/fm radio are conveniently located, with large controls that make adjustments easy, even at night. for '97, pontiac has made air conditioning standard, and all climate controls are located just below the stereo controls. We prefer this stacking priority, since radio adjustments are more common when the car is moving. Three large knobs make changing temperatures a breeze. the center console features cup holders and storage beneath the center armrest, supplemented by door map pockets and a glove box. And, at just $450, the v6 option seems like a bargain, especially when compared with the cost of a v6 in imported cars. That, and packaging, are the prime virtues of overhead-valve designs versus the overhead cam, multi-valve engines that are increasingly common in this class. Shifts were positive, but virtually undetectable, and the gearing is well matched to the v6's torque curve. steering is power-assisted rack-and-pinion. Effort is reasonably low, but there's little excitement in its feedback. Braking is accomplished with ventilated discs in front, drums in the rear. Abs is standard on both the se and gt models. with macpherson struts up front and trailing arms linked by a torsion beam in the rear, the grand am's road manners are, if not refined, at least competent. in general, the grand am has a one-piece feel that belies its age. With a base price of $16,399, and an as-tested price of $19,571, the grand am has been afflicted with a mild case of window sticker creep. Much better was the se sedan, moderately equipped, at $17,419. Power Windows✔ Power Mirrors✔ Tachometer✔ Bucket Seats✔ AM/FM✔ Air Conditioning✔ Cruise Control✔ Alloy Wheels
