2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

I'll start by saying that I've always liked Pontiacs. My wife and I have owned 6 between us. I put 200,000 mi on an 86 Firebird. This is our second Grand Prix. Loved the first, the second became completly unreliable at 38,000 mi, when the transmission suffered a catostrophic failure. Being out of warranty, we paid our mechanic $2000 to rebuild it. Pontiac will not help with this cost because we used our own mechanic not theirs. To make this worse, our mechanic has not been able to solve all the issues with the transmission. Even after replacing it. 6 months and counting.

I bought my GTP when it was two years old and had only 7k on it. At first I really like the torque of the supercharger, but after ridding in other non-supercharged six cylinder coupes/sedans i'm no longer impressed that much. The car has a nice exterior look to it, but once you open the door and set inside the cheesy interior appointments is what gets your attention. Way too much plastic inside. I have to say that the drivers seat is very comfortable, but the passenger seat is a bear. I've put 2k worth of go fast goodies in her and she now performs at a level that she should have stock with the almost 30k MSRP she had when new. Pontiac has lost there love afair with true real world performance
Good Car

This is a great car. It starts everyday and runs perfect. The Heads up display sometimes becomes faint in cold weather. The tire wear is very good. The performance is great for a car of this size. The car performs well in wet or snow conditions. The braking is very good on the car. The inside is very comfortable and spacious. The inside carpet is wearing very fast. The seats look and feel like new. The mileage hasn't changed since day one 20-28 depending on traffic. Overall I think this is a great car for the dollar.
Fun car, hindered by GM

The 3.8L makes this a pretty fun car to drive, however, as a GM "cookie cutter" car, it suffers from subpar engineering and build quality. Panels like to fall off, something that could've been prevented with a better plastic. The powertrain is generally reliable, but that's about it. You can eek pretty good mpg out of this car, but it's a bit of a pain to do so. If great MPG is your priority, look elsewhere, but don't worry about this car burning holes in your pocket.

To the idiot writing the first review: brakes,tires and ROTORS, are normal wear items on any vehicle. My Grand Prix is the best purchase I have ever made. The Pontiac 3.8 L engine is by far the best production engine ever made. If it is well mantained it will never wear out. I've had mechanics tell me they've seen 3.8's with the oil run out of them and seize not even need new rings! They run strong with excellent fuel economy and power - what more is there to want??
