Has 72K miles and still gets OVER 30mpg on trips. Great acceleration and handling, added K&N filter! Use Castrol Syntec Blend oil, always and fuel cleaner added every 3000 miles. Only two problems: Fuel Pump $525 and CV Boots take beating on fast starts. Called GM and received $800 certificate towards next purchase. With care still looks new.

As the owner of a 94 Pont. GP SE 4dr previously, to a 2000 Pont. GP GT 4dr I have to say is a HUGE improvement. The 94 lasted 195,000 miles before needing an engine overhaul, and required continous dealer visits for plugs seizing in place every 10,000 and over $5,000 in repairs (inc a new tranny which is VERY expensive)between 140,000 and 175,000 (2yrs total) **HOWEVER** The 2000 Pont. is a VERY different tale. I bought the vehicle from a non pontiac dealer in 2003 for $11,000 with 44,000 miles on it, to date I have put on 31,000 additional miles without a PROBLEM!!! Knock on wood....BEWARE of the mpg though...this car EATS gas..I found the computer mpg gage 100% accurate!!! LOVE THIS CAR!!!

I bought this car with 31000 miles on it I like it because it feels like a solid car and it gets the gas milage I was looking for 30-32 mpg regular oil changes 3-5000 miles seems to be a quiet ride since new tires and alignment since 90000 miles tranny is shifting very hard I was hoping to get a little more out of it before I would have those problems

I love the appearance of my car, but after a while of having it...so many problems to overcome! Transmission is bad, replace brakes all the time, water leaks into the driver side floor, had to replace the intake gasket and the computer part of the accelerator... etc. I was so excited about the car and then all of these things started happening... and of course... no more warranty. I love my car, I just wished it worked like it should and that I could be 100% sure that I will make it when I get in it and go somewhere..ha ha.

I owned an eclipse before this, and I was always being smoked because it looked fast, but wasn't. Now that I have my Grand Prix, people have no clue what it's capable of and I've yet to lose a race. My Grand Prix has 66,000 miles on it and it drives like it is new. The engine has been said to have over 200,000 miles and still run strong! This car couldn't get much better!

I have 154000 miles on my car and never had a problem with it. I drive it pretty hard and nothing has broken. Tranny has never slipped, even though it would be nice if it shifted a lil faster. Tranny fluid flush might fix that. Plenty of power. Wish the top speed gov. was a lil higher then 107...bose sound system is nice if your not gonna do anything to it. but putting subs or anything in and your screwed cuz u got to switch out everything. all 8 speakers, head unit, amp. for me to do it,it would cost 800- 1500.

I have always loved my pontiac... have had it for two years, have driven it all over (absolutely love it on the highway) and find myself easily accelerating, turning, and simply buzzing about town. I never have problems getting around in snow and my children are always saying "Go faster!" I got premium wheels on my car with a maroon shiny finish that gets a weekly car wash (It shows well)... Used to drive a Bonneville, don't like the new style.. this styling fits my personality entirely!

This was my second GP...what a disappointment! The A/C was repaired 3 years in a row. Once under warranty and the last two on me. The A/C was not working again this year, so the car is gone. Given a different reason each time, supposedly, but the result was always the same - no A/C. Water leaks, bearings, undiagnosed vibrations, excessive road noise and tire wear, a stereo system with speakers that constantly cut out, and non-stop computer problems made this car the worst I have ever owned. The most the dealer would say - well, that happens some time. I've purchased several cars from this dealer, but never again. Likewise for the Grand Prix.

I love my Grand Prix. It is comfortable and roomy, rides nice, and yet handles more like a sports car than a sedan. I have been impressed with the quality of the fit and finish. I laugh at people who pay 10 to 15k more for a lexus. I'll take my GP any day.

Bought my Grand Prix Dec 26, 1999. Absolutely loved to drive it. The car was great until it hit about 75k miles, then things really started to wear down. Had one major repair of the rack and pinion and power steering at the same time. Was about a $1500 repair. Many other little things also began to fall apart since 75k. Driver power window quit working. Gas gauge began to malfunction and I had to track the fuel level with the trip odometer. Also, the low coolant light was always lit and even the fluids were topped off. The carpeting wore very early on. Overall, it was a satisfying ownership but mostly because I paid it off two years earlier then I had expected and owned it free and clear.

This vehicle has been a thrill to drive, it really handles well, accelerates well, and is pleasure to drive. The only complaint is an annoying squeek in the dash and the power windows could be a bit more smooth. Everyone comments on how beautiful the Grand Prix is and friends always want to drive it.

I got this car a few years ago as my first car. I was originally shopping for Accords, but they were out of my price range and I was recommended the Grand Prix because the 3800 V6 is supposedly "bulletproof." In the 5 years I've owned the car it has lived up to the reputation. It has had a few small issues(key gets stuck in the ignition occasionally and LED backlight on radio went out), some of which I caused(warping the brakes 3 times oops!), but it has been an excellent car! It has good looks, enough power to get out of it's own way, and it has been reliable. It's a "sleeper" in the sense you can save a ton of money over a Japanese car since they depreciate a lot, but are quite reliable

Bought the car in 2003 out of a lease. It is the second car that I have owned and a real step up from my previous vehicle. I fell in love with it the day I saw it at the dealer. The only work I have had to do in 3 years is flush the coolant (preventstive maintenance) and replace the original battery (75,000 miles). The 3.8L engine and wide track suspension make it a dream to drive. Even though it is a 2000, I think it is one of the best looking cars on the road - the gentleman at the car wash place are particularly impressed. The picture for the vehicle on edmunds.com looks exactly like my baby. It is great car and I intend to drive it for some time!

First 50K this car was a blast! Had a 1997 Mustang V6 before, but traded it in for a family car when my daughter was born. I wanted a more pratical car yet sporty as I had only owed sport coupes (all sticks)before. The GP-GT was the perfect car for me. I chose it over an Accord, Maxima and Camry. However, the last 44K (currently has 94K on it)has been another story. First the transmission (seems like a popular complaint) went out. Unfortunately, didn't have extended warranty. Then a power window, the ABS is malfunctioning causing the brakes to shudder when applied until the ABS turns itself off. I have also gone through 3 "seven year" batteries. Too bad, because the GP-GT is so fun to drive!
Only a Pontiac GTP for me!

Finally I know why people who love to drive would buy this one. I heard all the great reviews and I now get to own one. Awesome power, awesome standard features and great options will make this car a winner. Can't say enuf about the heads-up display. Comfort is incredible and heck it's a Pontiac. If Tony Stewart can drive it, it must have great power. The price keeps it in the ave persons budget...and you get so much more.

Bought my 4 Dr with 14 miles on it. Love the look and really a fun car to drive. But after 85K miles, it's been having issues. The cheap driver seat "springs" have broken, A/C is flakey and not fixed after over $500 in repair work, and tranny is starting to act up. Although it's been fun to drive, the issues cropping up and my need for something I can haul stuff in is leading me to get rid of it.
Great buy

This was one of my best purchases. I have had this vehicle for close to 10 years and its still immaculate. On the highway keeping my foot out of the injectors I have gotten as much as 36mpg around town I average 23 to 24mpg. I really enjoy the car the ride is great for what it is, noise level is low and I absolutely love the HUD. When power is needed its here in a heartbeat. I have had no major mechanical issues. Most issues presented themselves during warranty period and were corrected. Only the interior carpeting was cheap crap and had to be replaced about a uear ago. This was a little expesive but worth every penny. This car is in as good a shape as it was coming of the showroom floor.

Great car so far. The only major item was the fuel pump that is inside of the tank however 400$ and 2 days later running fine again. It is nice to see that they put an access in the trunk so that the tank did not have to be removed from the car. That I am sure kept the $ down also. Car is a pleasure to drive for extended miles and the fuel economy on the road is in the 24-25 range and 19-20 around town type of driving. Good for the type of engine in it.

I acquired my 2000 GTP in Oct. 2003, and I was impressed at first. However, this soon changed whenever I had the oppotunity to drive real muscle cars. The Ford Mustang SVT, Mach I, F-150 Lighting, Chevrolet Corvette, all flat out blow the GTP away as far as performance goes. If your pocketbbok is limited then this maybe the car for you. However, if you want true performance, save your money and buy a real performance car.

I purchased my 2000 Grand Prix SE from a private group and enjoy it very much. It has more than enough power coming from the 3.1 Litre 3100 V6 engine. The engine has a great power improvment from the old 3.1 V6 engine Chevrolet had produced. My previous car, a 1995 Monte Carlo LS, had this engine and it hadn't nearly the amount of the power the new 3.1 V6 engine. The engine is in the 2000 and newer GM cars. The suspension and steering in this car is also unbelievable. The steering is very tight and enjoyable.

I have one payment to make on my car and 4 months ago i put a new transmission in it because it of course went out well i am having very bad problems with the transmission again,my keys also lock in the ignition and my RPM revs up by its self...it turns out that the car has electrical problems and the computer in it is having trouble communicating with things in it to make them work properly so i don't know what i have to do yet,it may just be a few electrical wires or the whole electrical system but it is cousing the transmissions to burn up

Well, I bought this car on a whim, after my previous car was totalled on Christmas Eve of 1999. Having never driven a Grand Prix before, I was immediately impressed with its power, handling and just darn good looks. I chose the 2 door GT model with optional leather, heated seats, power everything, HUD, AM/FM/CD player, sunroof, dual control climate system, and the list goes on and on. My Grand Prix has withstood the mileage like a champ. I average 24,300 miles per year, but racked up over 45,000 in 2002. She is still going strong. I have not had to replace a single mechanical part since the day I picked her up. I would highly recommed this vehicle to anyone else. Keep it up, GM!

I hadn't even considered buying a Grand Prix until I rented one on a business trip. I found the performance from the standard 3.1 liter engine was adequate under all conditions, the handling was excellent, and the interior was roomy and very comfortable. I've been getting 30 miles per gallon on the freeway, and it has only needed routine maintenance in 34,000 miles. At this point I'm very pleased with the appearance, performance, and quality.

My GP has treated me well. No engine problems after 4 years and 60k. However, my fuel economy is nowhere near what some other people are saying. For purely around town driving, it gets around 16. However, highway-only fuel economy is excellent at 30. Car handles well with plenty of power. Some of the interior components are cheap. Like some others, the door panels have started to get loose, and power windows seem to be slowing down a lot now. Seats could be a little more supportive for a long drive. Overall though, it has been a positive driving experience and the car has gotten me through many snowstorms safely.

Have had a lot of problems with expensive items. Thank goodness for extended warranty GMPP. Paid for it all. 3 climate control systems, 2 radio/cd players, 2 power window motors, an engine coolant seal leak, 1 heads up display, and another $1500 repair for some kind of sensor that kept shutting the engine down when it warmed up and we stopped. I love the car even with all of the repairs because like I said I didn't pay for them GMPP did. :) I think all of the repairs have totaled about $6000

This was a good car in the beginning. Bought it @ 45K , it now has 70K . The GPGT is probably one of the best cars I've ever driven in the snow, it goes through it without missing a beat. The power is decent, gas mileage is good, looks great! It does very good on long road trips. Now the bad part. Luckily when we (fiancee and I) bought the car, we got the extended warranty. It has helped pay for the $5K in repairs of this car. So far - intake & exhaust manifold gaskets have been replaced, HVAC fan was stuck on high, steering rack & pump replaced, front drivers side ball joint went out and in a "chain reaction" of events - broke the drivers side axle in two, replaced both of the tie rods.

I loved this car, all the way up until it caught fire and burned. After only 70,000 my GTP burned up without any warning. Apparently there is an investigation into these cars and a number of fires in the engine compartment. National Highway Traffic Satey Administration is attempting to get GM to admit to it and issue a recall.

I would definitely go with the 3.8 L engine. It is reliable except that the intake WILL go after 150,000 miles. Other than that, it is a reliable car. Mine has 192,000 miles and is only now beginning to struggle.

When I bought it, it was 3 yrs old with 38,000 miles. Got a great deal. I'm happy with it, fun to drive. My gas mileage is not as good as others. I get about 17 and 27. My biggest complaint are the seats, they are comfortable, but when cornering, you'll slide right off the seat if you go too fast. I love the heads up display!!

I bought this car for $9500 in May with 71,000 miles on it. It now has 82,000 and still going perfectly. I have had very little problems with it. It handles very well, very reliable and fun to drive. The inside is spacy and comfortable. The resale value has dropped greatly, I don't know why because Pontiac did a very well job and it's worth every bit I paid for it. The only problems is the gas gage indicator gauge quite working. I really wish Pontiac would bring back the 97-00 SE style back, I like it best of all prix styles.

This car has been rock solid and very reliable. The only maintenance items (besides oil changes) have been replacing the battery at 65k, tires at 55k, and front brake pads at 60k. This car has good acceleration, and has averaged 22 25 mpg in stop and go freeway traffic. The best gas mileage I got was 32 when we were heading back from vacation and had a tank full of Nevada gas. It has plenty of room for 4 adults and a child in the middle.

I love this car. I bought it only for $100 dollars back in April after I traded in my 03 impala for it, yes i know I downgraded to a 2000, but the Impala was starting to rust and the Grand Prix had no rust and I've always wanted a GP and it always slipped through my grasp until now. The only problem I have had with the GP is the windsheild has a crack in it, not the big of a problem being that it is not in my line of sight. Plus my ac and heating had a weird problem where the drivers side only blew hot air even with the ac on but the passengers side worked just fine at first but it corrected itself right before summer.

I had a lot of trouble right off the bat with my GTP. With not more than 3000 miles on the car it completely broke down on me. After several trips to the dealership it was finally fixed and I have not had a problem since. I absolutely enjoy the power the car outs out, and the interior cannot be beat. Overall, the grand prix GTP is an outstanding vehicle and my next purchase coming up in about 6 months will be another GTP as well.
Not too bad.

This car kicks A$$... You get strong acceleration, sharp handling wraped in one of the best bodys on the road. I almost always opt for this car over my wife's 99' Maxima SE. Gas milage is impressive for 240HP, 280 ft. lbs. The computer reads an avarage of 24.6MPG mixed city/highway and i haven't reset it in about a month. Just waiting patently for the 280X2 3800 V-6.
