Try the V-6 before you go with the boomy four cylinder. Not all is bad here. Gauges are easy to read, and controls are easy to find and understand. Red dash lighting is soothing during night drives. Door-mounted power window controls are backlit at night.
Power windows offer and auto-down feature.
There are four interior lights on this car, and they light the Grand Am up like the Astrodome when you hit the switch. As mentioned earlier, traction control comes standard with the automatic transmission, and all Grand Ams are equipped with auto-control headlights. Interior materials and textures are an improvement over those found on past GM products, and the climate control switchgear is just about perfect. Stereo controls are easy to decipher, and there are knobs to control tuning and volume. Dual airbags are new this year, as are pillar-mounted adjustable front seatbelts.
