Everything you'd want in an American car

2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl S/C 4A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

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.

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.

Best new car I've owned in over 50 years

I get over 30 mpg on highway 24 in city. Hot foot wife does much worse. Outside of battery, brakes tires, and oil changes, have had NO repairs in first 140,000 miles. Needed to replace oil pan gasket but delayed it until now. Oil is still cheaper than the repair. Suddenly the motor mount went bad. (Supercharged models use one less mount) which caused front axle boot to go. While it was apart replaced water pump which was still OK. Wife loves the car, I'm a van person so I feel cramped in it but it is fun to drive and the boost is great when needed. Tried using premium fuel but saw no gain in hp or mpg so have used regular since then with no problem.

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!

2002 Pontiac Grand Prix SE 4dr Sedan (3.1L 6cyl 4A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

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.
