I have had this car for almost 8 years. I LOVE this car. Yes, there are a few things wrong. The windows clamps do break and the windows fall. When it's 110 out, the plastic does not hold up to the heat. The other thing is the Intake Manifold Gasket. Yes.... Replaced twice... My mechanic flushed all the DexCool out and replaced it with normal coolant. It has been that way for 5 years now, no problems. I love the way the car drives, looks, runs, and the power it has. I am so sad that they did away with Pontiac :-(

I was at the dealership getting a headlight replacement for my 96 Grand Prix, when I saw it. The sky reflected against it's Galexy Silver finish. I peared out the corner of my eye at it's glossy black tires in contrast to cold & very smooth polished alloy wheels. "What a sexy looking sedan." I thought to myself. Test drove it and never got that pitiful headlight replaced. Even though, I only had one year left on the loan, I just had to tell 'thundercat 96' good-bye. Ride is excellent for freeway traveling and seats all passengers comfortablely on extended road trips. Minimal jarring felt from imperfections in the road, if any. Smooth cushy ride.

We bought this car after trading in a xcab f150 ford truck,which i loved. But owning two trucks was not fuel wise! After looking for a better gas milage vehicle, but still didn't want a "granny car", this sporty looking car caught our eyes! The car has every option including a moonroof, except leather interior,i don"t like leather. The seats are horribly uncomfortable, especially the passengers.Drink holders are a joke!! Oh!!! Let"s don"t forget that great transmisssion. They"re so great i have to have it replaced for the "4th", i said "forth", time.This is not a car to keep. After 58,000 miles,trans went out, again at 82,000 miles, but returned witin days for more repairs! And now at 88.000

Performance and gutsy sound from dual exhausts is sports car like yet is a family sedan. Impressed with 30 mpg on highway under 72 mph. Great exterior design. Had to upgrade the tires and stereo dvd player. Very visible orangish red color has helped accident avoidance.

This has been a dependable and fun to drive car. The standard 3.1 - 175HP is a strong motor with good pickup. I didn't have any problems with the car until 62,000 when the transmission went. It cost $2650 to replace. It was out of warranty but luckily it was a company car and they payed the bill. I purchased the car from the company and my wife is driving it now. We recently replace an EGR valve for $175 but had no other problems. I would recommend the car even though it had the transmission issue.

Very fun to drive. No problems with get up & go. The 3800 V6 uses regular gas and I get 23-25 MPG here in Phoenix, and have gotten up to 32 MPG on long highway trips. Heads Up display should be standard on cars, I've found that it's vary useful. Bose sound system sounds great. No problems yet, 15,000 miles into vehicle life. Great car for the money!

This car takes abuse like a massochist. It feels like a tank and rides like a magic carpet. Its pretty quiet inside with the windows up, even at ridiculous speeds. The engine is quiet and the stock exhaust sounds pleasant. Gas mileage is not exactly stupendous but its not a compact. Power when accelerating and overall breaking adds to the total driving feel of this sport sedan around turns or navigating through morning traffic. The interior leaves a bit to be desired as far as the appearance. The radio,giant A/C knobs,light switch, and tiny glove box are not only a bit retro but annoying and repulsive to look at.

I started with a 1997 Pontiac Bonneville which was an excellent car, however because of my age decided I needed something sportier, but I was impressed with Pontiac so I went to the Grand Prix GT(for the 3800 engine) which was my best move.

This is the third grand prix I have owned, and I must say I have NO complaints! I have had only small problems, the switch on the fan only works at 3+, and the light on the radio doesn't light up. I get 30 mpg on highway, and 26 in town. I have a lifter tapping which is annoying but not serious. It always runs and drives and I am at 160,000 miles so far. I had a 94 SE which made it to 250,000, and I drove my 98 GT to 180,000 with only a minor oil leak when I sold it. I love this car and I am impressed, I have owned many others but keep coming back to Pontiac.

The car is a fun car to drive and responds well, especially when using a premium fuel. I question the long term quality of the vehicle. My Grand Prix needed a new transmission after 42000 miles, I also had changed the transmission fluid at 20,000 miles. The car also had a problem with its computer system at 38,000 mile right after the warranty went out. The quality if the interior is good. Some of the knobs could be of better quality as the paint on the pointer part of the A/C knobs wears easily.

This is a great car. I recommend it highly! I bought mine about a year ago and since then I've been really happy with it. Unreal pickup for this "Old Person Car!" (I'm 23 yrs. old.) It sounds amazing too. It's got the Eaton Supercharger stock on it, which provides your pickup with that "jet plane" sound when the rpms are racing.

This car was good until 85k miles. I understand things need to be changed and replaced with a high mileage car like brakes oil filters fluids etc. My costs of repairs have been doubling since my 4th year of ownership. Transmission @120k 3 Master cylinders, brake lines twice, 3 EGR valves, ball joints, Emmisions problems like crazy, carbon build up on the gas pedal, sending unit replaced, electrical grounds rotting off, electrical switches failed early at 40k miles, rusting early 50k miles(once a week washing with a professional detail twice a year)hub assymbly at 83kmiles, wind sheild washer fluid rarely works in cold weather, door seals and locks freeze, thermostat replaced at 130k.

I really like the look of the vehicle and the performance under the hood. The car handles well and for the most part has been mechanically sound. The Problems I have experienced include loose wiring that would cause the power seat to stick, and the transmission went out on us. Both of these problems were quickly fixed and covered under warranty. The power Drivers seat uncomfortable and on rough textured roads the road noise is very loud. All in all I would recommend the car to those looking for a moderately priced sedan with enough HP to satisfy the lead foot in all of us.

We had a GTP 4dr with the supercharged V6. It had all the options. Bought it used with 100000 miles and didn't have a thing go wrong with it. I only had to do routine maintenace, get new brakes, and a align it. The ride was good and the interior was appealing. These are great, stylish cars.

I own a red 2001 Grand Prix GT. I have also owned a 1998 white Grand Prix GTP and a 1988 Grand Prix. My experience with these cars is exceptional. My 1988 Grand Prix did have some trouble with quitting when pulling out into traffic but this problem was corrected in my later models. These cars are fun to drive yet practical on gas mileage. There exterior is sleek and sporty. I have one child and there was plenty of room for the car seat, toys, groceries, etc. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who likes to drive.

I've had mine for about 2 years now and have had nothing but problems with it. It did have 89,000 miles on it, but still should not have had that many issues. I've had to replace the breaks, roaders, some of the wiring and tires since buying it.I currently need to replace a head gasget and have oil leaking into my anti-freeze, which is a repair that is going to cost me a little over a thousand dollars. I was told that most Grand-Prixs start having mechanical problems once they reach about 65,000 miles.

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 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.

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!

the handling of the grand prix is choice. it handles the best out of the cars i have owned in the past. the 2001 to 2003's have the best design out of the grand prix, it looks sporty and acts it too. the fuel mileage is not the best i average only 22mpg with highway and city driving, my ford explorer gets that, and that has four wheel drive. other then that, it is a great choice!

Having been raised in a Pontiac family, I have owned more Oldsmobiles and Buicks. Bought this car for a reasonable price back in '05 with a GM certified warranty. This car has needed periodic maintenance per the owners manual of which absolutely no one follows. Doing the correct fluid flush's on time, the filters, injection cleaning, wires, plugs, brakes, tires. Its motor is bullet proof. I plan on keeping this car another 3 or 4 more years and I can most certainly expect with normal on time maintenance, it will perform as desired. It hauls quickly o-60, it handles incredible, has plenty of room. Some cheap interior stuff, but it just can be overlooked with its looks and reliability.

This car was great for the first 50K miles then things started to fall apart. The catalytic converter went out at about 55K, and the transmission started operating real sloppy. From there the transmission went downhill. The transmission had a certain lag when you needed to accelerate and it started making funny noises. At 85K the transmission started dropping into gears and continued to sound worse. I just got rid of it before things got worse.

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.

So far this car has been great to me, I bought it 9 months ago and it was nice to me. The acceleration is really good for a heavy sedan, the handling is excellent, it's very spacious inside. I have 17 inch wheels on it so the ride isn't that smooth but a lot smother than other cars with 13 or 14 inch wheels. The sound system is awsome. I like the six speaker CD player and even on noisy radio stations it plays clear. So overall the car is awsome I had no problems with at all except change the oil and filter. What I don't like about this car is the where the cup holders are located, it's hard to swith gears when it's open, other than that it's a very nice car.

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.

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.

I have seen some of the reviews and have to say that either the only people giving the reviews are people who have had probs or i'm extremely lucky. Bought my 01 GP SE 2 years ago with almost 28k on it and now have 70k on it. Only prob was computer needed reset while still under warranty, new radio fuse. I've had no major issues thankfully. I have had some noise occasionally when I start the car which hasn't been figured out but never had a prob starting the car. Gas mileage seems to be getting a little worse with age/more mileage. Piece holding glove box up when opened broke so now it falls out sometimes when opened. That's it...minor at best. I would suggest this car for sure!

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??
