Used 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix Sedan Consumer Reviews
Underestimated
Under valued for its performance and raw appeal. The GTP has everything a yupie could want and your teenage son.
First Grand Prix, but not the last
We have owned practically every Pontiac made from the Sunbird to Bonneville. We purchased a '02 GP 4dr and absolutely LOVE IT! The gas mileage can be outstanding, but with even minimal "heavy foot syndrome" it cuts into the old average. I have had mpg as high as 37, but other times we experienced 22 (winter months town driving). The engine is rock solid, but there seems to be some excessive noise coming from the alternator. I have heard this on other Pontiacs and it isn't going to be a problem, just is a little noisy and then goes away. Should have heated mirrors and passenger seat. Cup holders too small.
Awesome reliable car
I owned this car for 2.5 years and put 45,000 miles on it with no problems (other than catalytic converter fixed under warranty). When I traded it in, it still had the original brakes with 75% pads left! I never even had to have an alignment! The only things I ever had to do to the car were oil, tires, and wiper blade changes. I did change the spark plugs at 50,000 miles, but only because I wanted to, it didn't need it. Totally amazing reliability for an American built car. Awesome looks, car ran great, I would highly recommend this car to anyone.
Good overall, just needs less plastic
Great car, had 99 Grand Am which was totaled, wanted new pontiac. Love the looks, plenty of power with 3.8l 200hp. After owning a VW, the difference in interior quality is very apparent. Pontiac interior is nice, but needs to lose the plastic feel, nothing wront with plastic, but in moderation!
Looks Better Than It Runs
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.
