I just bought my wife a 02 grand prix gt.... and it rocks.... sure since it is used and has about 65000 miles on it.... there are a few minor issues... but for a used car, I never would have thought I would feel safe sending my wife the 150 miles to the beach without me..

Still low miles, but we can really Haul in it- we should have a SUV!- I mean 25 gal water, a cooler, tools, clothes, bedding, two dog kennels (in back seat of course!) and other stuff for going to our lakelot half the summer.. We had experience with the 3.1 v6 in a Corsica which went well over 100000 miles,; this one has about 80000 so far (retired; don't drive a lot anymore).. The nice surprise was fuel economy- 37 on a trip going 65-75 mph most of the way. Solid, great handling, loves to cruise at 70+.. Trouble? None- just did brakes first time. If I could find a cherry GTP coupe I'd keep it as a collectible!

I bought the car in 2009. It only had 63000 miles on it. I thought it would be good for a 2002 model vehicle. The interior has cheap plastic. I only got to put 8000 miles on it when there were too many problems to list in order to fix this chunk of metal GM called a car. It did run fairly well. But I was unsure how reliable it would have been on longer trips other than around town. I will NEVER buy another pontiac vehicle.

An excellent vehicle on all fronts. Great styling, handlng, supercharger kicks in nice and smooth with a steady excelleration, much more so than that of a turbo. Dark Cherry paint and interior two tone nice touches. Best of all is the braking system, which is the BEST I have ever driven. No complaints with the MPG as I am averaging 26mpg highway, and 20city.

I am a driver in my mid 40's. I guess I've become bored with the average sedan. Looking for something a little different. This is it! This gives me the sporty look I wanted, the power to get there fast, and the comfort I desired. The car is loaded. The 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP has great acceleration and has lots of toys. The salesperson pointed out the Eyecue Heads up Display. He informed me the GM had bought out Hughes Aircraft back in the 80's. Hughes makes the F-16 fighter jet. He asked if I had ever seen Tom Cruise in Top Gun. I said sure. Well remember when the jet information was projected onto his windshield .... check this out..the same technology was in my Grand Prix!

This car has been very good thus far. The engine is strong and will move the car well when pushed. The steering and suspension are tight, although the car will float at times over major undulations in the pavement. The only downside to having a motor with this much torque is that it does have a degree of torque steer. That and a few squeeks and rattles (that only appear on rough pavement) are the only real issues that I have with the car. Other than that, this car has been very good.

I bought this car with the notion that GM products suck. But I couldn't pass the deal that I could get on this vehicle. I like the car a lot and have had no problems so far. The only concern I do have is on Fuel economy. The sticker says 19/29. So far it has been about 16.5 city and 24 hwy. Not what I was expecting.

I decided to buy the loaded GTP as soon as I test drove the vehicle. Since this was my first new car, I did quite a bit of market research. Sure the Nissan looked great. Sure the Honda looked great. But I'm from Detroit and foreign cars just don't cut it in this town. This car has everything I could possibly want. Lots power, great looks, and terrific handling in rain and snow. On top of everything else, I feel proud to support America by buying American products. God Bless the USA. I'd also like to thank Edmunds.com for all the great information they supplied to make my car shopping easy. This site is great! Keep up the good work.

I bought a 2002 Grand Prix SE. I do alot of long distance road trips, and this seemed to be the ideal car for the bucks.Very comfortable on the long runs, with plenty of cargo room. This SE model has the 3.1 engine, which is pretty sluggish with 3 average persons in the car. Engine noises a month after my puchase( needs pistons ). Thats a bad start, for a car loan. I should have bought the GT with the 3.8L, or just stayed away from Pontiac all together.Stay away from the SE models.

I have owned my car now for 5 years and I bought it with 60,000 miles on it. This is a very good running car and is great for the family. My car now has 196,000 miles on it and runs better than the day I bought it! For those who care the gas mileage is great as well as comfort and performance! I use castrol GTX high mileage and have since purchase. I think this may help with how well it still runs.But other than that the only thing that i have had a problem with is my back speakers, they only work when the car sits in the sun at about 80 degrees outside!!

I've had my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Sedan for three and a half years. My Dad handed it down to me after he lost use of his right leg to cancer and I hit a deer with my '93 S-10. For the first three years I've had it, it gave me no problems and I like the way it looks, especially in black, sleek and sinister, the fog lamps, spoilers, and dual exhausts don't hurt either. It was pretty fast and fuel efficient, but it turned into a piece of crap once it had 115,000 miles on it. The windshield wipers stick up when they're turned off, the tail-break lights don't work, you could time it's acceleration to highway speed with a calendar, the windows don't work, and it guzzles gas like a V8.

We have had this vehicle for a few years now and have been very happy with it. Only problem we had was the brakes and rotors needed to be replaced (covered under warranty) however, for a car with low mileage and only a two years old, this should not have happened.

I bought this car when my daughter was about 4 months for the extra space, a 2dr Civic just wasn't working out anymore! So far it has been a great car, it has about 176,000 miles on it but runs like it's new! I would highly recommend this car, especially to new moms switching from a small car to a bigger one but still wanting something 'sporty'!

I must say, this has been the most reliable car I've ever owned! My Acura TL was the most fun, but even that had minor problems. I also had a Mercedes which had it's share of annoying maintenence issues. I've done nothing but normal maintenence for this Grand Prix; it has been simply flawless! I can't express how impressed I am by the overall quality of this product!

I have driven this car for 80,000+ miles and I know what I am talking about when I say this is a great car! I bought the car with 70,000 and now its at 150+ and I have only had to replace minor bits and pieces that come along with driving a car that much. Brake pads, wheel bearings and a battery once. You don't have to buy a 4 cylinder civic to get good milage. This can get 33 tops on hwy and 21 in the city. I avg. 28 driving through mnt. ranges on cruise. For a 2dr the back seat is spacious for leg room and comfy. I can fit my snowboards and wakeboard in my trunk no problem as well as move all my belongings in the thing. It's sharp with the 17" chrome rims and can give you amazing v6power.

This car is an extremely fun and sporty vehicle to drive, especially for families. This is a terrific vehicle for all purposes-taking the kids on trips, hauling things with the fold down back seat, cool looking "mom" car yet luxurious at the same time. Couldn't get a better car for the price category and I doubt you could get much better if you increased! Pontiac has a good product in its inventory.

The car looked great. When we started driving, I noticed that there wasn't much legroom in the front passenger seat (the feet had to be almost together when legs were fully extended). I am only 6', so maybe that had something to do with it, but it shouldn't. Then the doors locked and the PLASTIC locking mechanism nearly fell off. You could see back inside the door panel. The VERY cheap interior plastics are unacceptable on a $20k+ car. Also, with only 2,154 miles on the car, one of the instrument panel dash lights goes on and off for no apparent reason.

I brought this car this past February with it having just 70,000 miles on it, did wanted a G6 GT Sedan(Plans fell through) but found this car for a steal, I was worried at first because I was giving up room because it was a mid-size car(car before this one was a 1993 Bonneville SE), but it was still pretty roomy, seats 5, 4 comfortably, and even dough the car is 8 and the design is 13 years old(1997), I still prefer it over the 2004-2008 model, gets good gas mileage for a big 3.8 V6, great for the highway and town, nice interior, just an overall nice ride, the only maintenance I have done so far is new brakes, oil change, support lifts for trunk, and cleaner for catalytic converter.

This is a great car! Fun to drive because it handles so great. Very comfortable and very good gas mileage. About 20 around town and 29-33 on the road. Many compliments on looks, etc. We do all our travelling in it with the longest trip being about 6000 miles. No problem with 4 adults on long trip. Very reliable so far. We have 25000 miles on it. The 3.8 is a fabulous engine. Plenty of zip and great mileage. I usually trade every 3-4 years but my wife would kill me if I sold this one.

I wanted to splurge on a new vehicle, and after doing some research, I decided to order a 40th anniversary edition. Ordered in August of 2001, following my order through production, it finally arrived in November of 2001. Always a head turner, I only know of one other in the state of Delaware. It has been a pleasure to drive (been to Texas 3X) and gas milage is exceptional considering the engine size and supercharger. It came fully loaded, but I did get the optional heated seat and sunroof. Surprisingly, these are the only items that have needed repair, and fortunately covered under warranty.

I love this car! I put a K&N filtercharger and big exhaust pipes. I I love racing other cars, especially Monte Carlos. I just burned a '02 Buick LeSabre w/ the same S/C 3800 Series II engine. This guy was so mad, he wanted some more on the next light, so the next time I pushed my performance shift button, and burned him even more. This car got seroius power, well my has about 260HP and 290 Torgue. Everybody better watch out. I can't wait to buy the 2004 G-Force with the new improved 280HP/280Torgue.

My Grand Prix has been put through some extreme conditions, and still came through a champ. During a 5 mile white out on Christmas Day my Grand Prix's braking was put to the test. Cars were spinning out left and right as I passed by. I always felt in control and 100% confident with my car. During a 90+ degreee day in bumper to bumer traffic for hours heading into Chicago, my car never once cracked above it's normal temperature. My car is an absolute joy to drive and the compliments I get (when it's clean) are numerous!

I have put 30K on this car in the last 18 months. I drive from LA to San Diego at a typical 85MPH and the ride is great. I have raced others in this class and have yet to be run down. Took out a beamer 330 today from a stop light without breaking 6000RPM! Put aside a little nest egg to pay for the speeding tickets (got mine doing 71 in a 45). Just can't seem to help form pushing that little peddle down... For an additional 1500 get the GTP.

I purchased a 2002 GT Sedan with every option. The GT's 3800 V6 is one of the best engines ever built - great low end torque, good gas mileage and legendary reliability. Add a smooth shifting transimission and sure footed handling, this car eats up the road. Overall quality fit and finish is below most imports, but look at the price....it's a great value. Besides, after 8 months and 10K miles, I have had zero problems. Looking for a sporty, affordable 4 door that won't break the bank ? Check out the GP.

when i first bought my GP it had 106K on it and now currently has 184K the performance even with the N/A 3.8 is very adequate and can only be better from the aftermarket. I've had a few issues over the last 4 years with it needed a new sway bar, steering rack, shocks, head gasket, intake gaskets. I've had many vehicles with far less miles on them and far more problems. Even after it all the car was worth fixing the amount of fun the car offers far out weights the cost(did the repairs myself cost about $1200). I live in central new york and the car has no rust Amazing! it has hooked me on Pontiacs forever hopefully the car will last that long because Pontiac no longer exists if you can buy 1

When I see ads for a 4 cylinder Hondas that gets 30 mpg highway, I have to laugh as I'm having so much more fun in my GTP. This car is not only a sleeper, it gets gas mileage in the range of Japanese cars but it has 280 pounds of torque to play with. True, the interior plastic parts could have been better, but the mechanical failures of my brother's Accord make me glad I bought a Pontiac. The GTP is well-known for long-term reliability and most of the negative posts you see here are not representative of the total population. I had a GM 3.8 liter with 250,000 miles and not a single mechanical issue. Don't doubt Pontiac's build quality or engineering, these cars are a steal @ <$10K!

Granted, I don't know much about cars...but I have been driving this car for almost a year and it has been wonderful. The ride is smooth and comfortable for the long drive I have to work. I don't think that I can ever buy a car without Heads Up Display again. I no longer have to look down when changing my speed...or my radio controls. Also, the car has so many more features than any other for your dollar. The only problems are watching speed...a smooth ride makes you forget how fast you're going and hitting the breaks on a heavy car like this means you have to leave quite a bit of stopping distance!

Have owned this car for 6 years now. It's still a great ride. Have had some minor issues. Fan switch for A/C & heat broke. Had to install new resistor $200. Windshield fluid motor burned out. Another $200. Brakes were garbage at 35k. Besides that, just the basics. It's a great car. Need to get an SUV for my family. I own 3 cars, but this is the last 1 I'd trade in. It has lots of power, when you need it. Plan on enjoying it for years to come.

I bought my 2002 Grand Prix off eBay in 2004 after my 1999 Grand Prix was totaled. It had about 32,000 miles on it. All was well until 2007 when I spent $3500 in maintenance including $2300 for a new transmission. So maintenance is getting expensive. I have 68,000 miles on it now. But since I paid $11,000 for it I still feel like this vehicle is a good value.

Excellent car, for the price, you really can't ask for anything more. There are a couple of minor things that I don't particularly care for. But the rest of the car definitely makes up for it. It's rather powerful engines makes driving VERY fun and exciting. And it handles very smoothly!
