Great car and fun to drive

2007 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP 4dr Sedan (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I have currently 32,000 miles on this car and it has absolutely been the best car that I have ever owned & I have had 12. I have only had a few issues which I have been able to get resolved with the dealer. I tinted the windows and with the dary grey color this car looks sharp.

Favorite Features

Heads up display, throaty horsepower, roomy in front and rear(even with a 5 year old), comfortable on long rides, XM radio & Monsoon sound system.

Suggested Improvements

The brakes& rotors had to have work done on them much quicker than I think should need attention. The tires on the car(Bridgestone Potenza's) wore out pretty fast & 18 inch tires are NOT cheap. Brakes threw a LOT of dust and I was constantly cleaning them. Once I got new brakes, have not had issues

Review

I do like my 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. I still don't love it. I am a Mercury Cougar fan, I had 2 including a 25th Anniversary Edition. The Pontiac and Grand Prix version is a wonderful car. I have leather, heated seats, dual temp controls, sunroof, remote start, and the XM and 6 CD changer. All in a regular GP, not GT. I was told it was customer built. My car was also a program car. I have not had any problems. Just the normal oil and maintenance routines. The Driver's Info center is fun. The car does have get-up- and go, you can pass easily.

Favorite Features

XM Radio, Sunroof, remote start, heated seats, dual temp controls.

Suggested Improvements

I should have bought a GT, but couldn't afford the insurance on a sportier package...

Still solid after 49,000 miles

Review

I've driven this car 49,000 miles in two and a half years, and I can't complain. Still rides and drives like new, and problems thus far have been minimal (warped window moldings, brake rotors and a slight electrical issue, all fixed under warranty). Easy to maintain, and mechanics have nothing but good things to say about its future. Good gas mileage (30+ highway), solid ride and comfortable overall. No regrets.

Favorite Features

Plenty of power, solid ride, good gas mileage, decent base stereo.

Suggested Improvements

It'd be great if the brakes could take a bit more punishment before the rotors warped... it's hard to believe they can't stand up to "the real world" when it comes to traffic and the occasional need to stop fast.

Vehicle

2007 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl S/C 4A)

Review

We love our Pontiac Grand Prix GT four door car. We have made several trips between Henderson, Nevada and Reno, Nevada. We have XM radio so great for sports, news, and music. We love our car!

Favorite Features

We have dual air conditioning; dual front seat heat; great sound system; black leather seats and silver grey exterior; drives great.

Suggested Improvements

I wish they were still making these cars!

Review

It's easy to be drawn in by the sexy stance, the leather, moonroof and the 17 in. wheels that the GT has to offer. However, once you get past the vroom vroom shiny red race car surface stuff, the disgraceful fuel economy alone is enough to make you list it for sale after a month. Excessive road noise is even worse with the sunroof shade open. The interior especially the headliner feels cheap, even tacky after the new car smell wears off. The worse paint I've ever seen - there seems to be no topcoat or clearcoat as there are hundreds of chips down to the metal after 22k miles. Not worth the ins. and payment. I'm going to get a Honda or Toyota which might seem boring but definitely smarter.

Favorite Features

Supercharger. Accelerates like a Mercedes or BMW. There's nothing like it on the open road. Flash. Looks like I spent 30K Can beat anything on the freeway!

Suggested Improvements

Gets WORSE MPG than my '98 Suburban Cheap, plastic flimsy interior feel. Monsoon stereo has too much bass, even when I set bass to -3. I'm not a fan of thumpin' tunes. Backseat is worthless for even petite passengers. Again, never seen such pitiful MPG from an American sdn. 20 hwy is generous.

Review

the v-8 is fast while still getting great mileage. i average 22 mpg with a good mix of city and hwy driving. as the editors review says, there may be to much torque because of the powerful v-8; however i wouldn't trade down the horsepower. great car. good mix of sports car, fuel economy, and luxury vehicle.

Favorite Features

hud display. heated leather seats. driving performance.

Suggested Improvements

miles of plastic in the interior is a bit of a turnoff. some wood grain maybe?

Rattles and Rotors

Review

Big fan of the Pontiac Grand Prix 3x owner. This car has a lot of rattling inside which seems to come from the sunroof, have had it at the dealership 8 times and they still are not able to fix it. The rattling becomes very unerving on long road trips and bumpy roads. The rotors had to be replaced the first year I had it and now have to be replaced again 6 months later. There is a problem with the rotors obviously.

Favorite Features

heated seats, power, sound of engine

Suggested Improvements

fix the rotor problem and fix the sunroof, I like a quiet car when I drive.

Review

I had an 02 Volvo S60 prior to this car. I liked it overall, however it was to the repair point ($2100 was a bit much) so I had to make a decision to keep or trade off. So I thought about what kind of car I would like to replace it with. Knowing the reliability of the GM's powerhouse 3.8 a.k.a 3800 v-6, I wanted a car with that particular engine. The Grand Prix and I think the Buick Lacross was the last of the 3.8. Well being in my 20's I didn't want the Buick, so I did a search on Cars.com website and found a loaded up Grand Prix. I tried the G6 and didn't like it, so I bought the GP as it is larger. It has been good so far. Love the purr of the 3800! Hope it goes to 200,000 miles!

Favorite Features

I like the red/orange lighting. The cockpit feel is great as well as the stock stereo. Trunk space is nice as well as pass through trunk (good for hauling long objects). Love the information center above the radio! Remote Start!

Suggested Improvements

Better rear leg room, better quality interior materials, not such a hard back seat, an aux input in the factory stereo (impalas had them in their 07, why didn't the GP?) Standard mag rims, not hubcaps! More Cup holders/storage. More consistency of options. 07 supposed to have onstar, mine doesnt!

Great Car

2007 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl S/C 4A)

Review

This is my "4th" Grand Prix - and have loved each one I had. I can't believe they have stopped production of this model. This car has lots of power for the V6. Love the road-tight feel to the steering, but the traction control is not good at all. The car handles well in all weather and gets good gas mileage. Beautiful looking car and nice wheels on the GT model. Radio could be of higher quality.

Favorite Features

Cockpit dashboard. Secure feeling to the steering and road-grip. powerful engine. Great styling

Suggested Improvements

Fog lamps, standard on all models. Improve driver's information. Better labels for dashboard, including the climate control, etc.

Review

Purchased mine as a lease turn in with 30,000 miles on it. I now have 45,000 on it and it's just as good now as it was then. Very good car for the driving enthusiast or just as a daily driver. Affordable power and handling in a stylish design that is well put together and balanced. Good fit and finish overall. 127 mph top speed is impressive for a sedan.

Favorite Features

Wrap around dash and seat design makes you feel like you're in a cockpit. Interior lighting and dash lights are well lit and user friendly. Supercharged powerplant is fairly fuel efficient for the kind of power it puts out. Really like the driver information display.

Suggested Improvements

Would like to see a better grade leather used on the seats. Sunroof and better sound system standard on the GT model. A little bit lower stance would really make the car look and handle a lot better.
