A Review
Has proved to be reliable and comfortable transportation but not the "fun to drive" vehicle I was lead to believe it would be by several automotive reviews.
not bad
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!
3.8 V6 solid as a rock
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.
Lots of power and style
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.
Should've bought the Nissan
I've had pretty good luck with the car up until 2003. If you are looking for something that will last a long time I would suggest buying something else. I hit the 50 thousand mark and I am selling it. The gas pedal sticks and the ABS light comes on quite frequently. The dealer says it's nothing. Had the brakes fixed and they still grind and the ABS light still comes on. Resale value is terrible...everyone has a Grand Prix.
