The huge air nozzles in the center and on each side of the dash are easily aimed and, even in the current Texas heat, the system cools the vehicle quickly. This Grand Am comes with the newer-generation depowered air bags to make the right front seat safer for younger and smaller passengers. Battery rundown protection automatically turns off accessories and lights that are inadvertently left on. A GT version also is on the way, with sportier performance and appearance. The tank holds 15.2 gallons of gasoline.
Back seat is a tight fit for adults, particularly overhead.
