2011 Pontiac Grand Am
The new 2011 2011 Pontiac Grand Am offers everything you could possibly imagine in a sedan and more – from a powerful engine, to stability, and features that make sense. New for this year, the Grand Am comes in TK models – The 2011 Pontiac Grand SE, SE1, SE2, Pontiac Grand Am GT, GT1, and, for the true enthusiast, the Grand Am SC/T. We have been waiting eagerly to prepare this 2011 Pontiac Grand Am review for you with the latest Grand Am picture we could find. For all of your Grand Am info, or for information on the latest 2011 Pontiac Grand Am accessories, make sure to bookmark this site and check back frequently, as we update it every month. Also, Pontiac this year is focusing more on the four-door Grand Am sedan, less on the two-door coupe. A loaded SE2 sedan has been added this year that should appeal to buyers who want a little more luxury in their lives. All Grand Am coupes this year are GT models (SE coupes are history).
Standard exterior features on The 2011 Pontiac Grand Am include: alloy wheels, heat-rejecting glass, daytime running lamps, wet-arm controlled cycle windshield wipers, license plate pocket with cover, and an optional sunroof. Interior 2011 Pontiac Grand Am features include amenities such as: air conditioning, cruise control, electric rear window defogger, power windows, Delco AM/FM stereo with CD, optional all-leather seating, and floor mats.
The Pontiac Grand Am offers an interior that’s high on convenience and style. A relatively high seating position, coupled with a low cowl and thin A-pillars afford good forward visibility, something that Pontiacs aren’t necessarily known for. The four-way adjustable driver’s seat on our SE1 was reasonably comfortable, but lacked lumbar support. Also, we would have preferred more side bolstering on the seat back to better hold us in place. We wonder how the cloth fabric will hold up over the long haul. A six-way power driver’s seat is standard on GT1 models and leather trim is available.
Since there are 6 different 2011 Pontiac Grand Am models to choose from, naturally there are going to be a number of engines as well. This year’s fleet comes with three available engines. The first is a 2011 Pontiac 2.2-liter twin-cam that delivers 140 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and produces 150 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4,000 rpm. The next is a The new 2011 2011 Pontiac Grand Am 3.4-liter, 3400 SFI V-6 that delivers 170 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and produces 195 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4,000 rpm. The last engine, and undoubtedly the most powerful, is a 3.4-liter, Pontiac Ram Air V-6 that delivers 175 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and produces 205 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4,000 rpm. The 2011 2011 Pontiac Grand Am engines come standard with four-speed automatic transmissions, but also are available with 5-speed manual transmissions, depending on what you like. 
The 2011 Pontiac Grand Am handles reasonably well. When driven hard, it’s a little slow to turn in to corners, perhaps due to a lack of grip in the front tires. It’s stable once it takes a set in a corner. Its wide track and a relatively long (107-inch) wheelbase provide stability in corners, at high speeds, and in cross winds. Big front disc brakes stop The 2011 Pontiac Grand Am in a reasonable distance. Aluminum brake calipers reduce unwanted weight, which improves handling in bumpy corners. We recommend optional antilock brakes (ABS) and electronic traction control because they make this front-wheel-drive car easier to control in slippery situations.
Regardless, the Grand Am is loaded with convenient interior features. It’s easy to jump in and out of this car and getting it going requires a minimum of fuss. Once underway, it offers competent road manners. It isn’t the most refined car in the class, but delivers style and value. Grand Am GT coupes and sedans, meanwhile, flaunt their increased performance with ribbed body trim. Coupes and sedans are the same price. The two-door coupe is more stylish, while the four-door sedan is better for rear-seat passengers.
