BAD ENGINE!
First I owned the car for a month, had to replace the engine because oil wasn't going to one of the rods. Now, 2 years later, it's sitting waiting to be sold for the same problem. Had about 100,000 on both engines. Had it in the shop all the time, it was never the easy things that were wrong either. I would not buy this car again.
I'm hooked. But not Sold!!
I rent the GrandPrix just about every other weekend. I love this car. It is fun to drive and has fabulous acceleration. I would love to buy one. However, tend to keep a car for more than 5 years and Ponitac's reliability is unproven. (read professional reviews as well as these) I do not trust the car's alternator, starter, or power train (transmission). I would definately recommend renting one and possibily leasing one for 2 years or less. If you buy get rid of this car at the 2 to 3 year mark, let somebody else be the case study for Ponitac. As soon as a see many 8 to 10 year old Grand Prixs driving around I might buy one.
A good Solid Car
We have had this car for nearly 2 years and have had absolutely no problems. We bought it with 30K + and currently have close to 90k+. It still looks, runs and feels new! I owned a Grand AM before this and have gained a new respect and appreciation for Pontiac. This is a Power Sport vehicle that handles wonderfully. I am 6'5 and always have plenty of room. Just a great Car! If you are thinking of buying this car do it. It is a wonderfully reliable car with style and power!
JW's Loaded 2DR 2001 GP GTP
Purchased the car from a Pontiac Mechanic.Him and his wife loved the car,but wanted an SS.Bought the car with 7,500 miles on it. It was in PERFECT condition, not even a scratch.It was their baby and now it's mine. I don't drive it much(company SUV).I've owned it for 2 1/2yrs and put 23,500 miles on it.The looks of the car are OUTSTANDING.It gets many stares and people ask about it.The sound,feel and torque of the engine is awesome.Competitors can't match it. True,the interior looks cheap,but given the performance,style,sound and reliability of the car, it's a small price to pay.Only problem I've had is the sunroof motor went bad.This is a sweet ride.It looks great in my garage or doing 120 mph.
great mileage
30 miles per gallon if you stay out of the supercharger on the interstates. great car so far on dependability.
