Used 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix Sedan Consumer Reviews
Best full size sedan for the money
It is time foreign car buyers take a look at the Pontiac Grand Prix. I have owned three and they have been as reliable as any German or Japanese car I owned. I think that the Japanese cars are overrated and overpriced. A GP is under $30,000 and yet it has many features you will not find on higher priced cars. The 240 HP supercharged engine six gives plenty of power but it also gives great gas mileage. The GTP has leather seats, heads-up display, chromatic mirror, computer to indicate warnings, gas mileage, oil life, and more. The ride is very comfortable and quiet. The wide track makes you feel secure even on wet or slick surfaces.
97 GT Sedan
I've got over 80k miles on my '97 GT Sedan. Rack and pinion assembly had to be replaced at about 50k. Some occasional minor rattling in the dash and an annoyingly short range for the keyless remotes that several dealers were unable to fix since the car was new. Other than that the car is great and I may buy another one when they redesign it possibly next model year. 3800 V6 drivetrain is fantastic, plenty of reliable power, easy to work on too.
Best thing since sliced bread
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..
We've had ours for 8 years now..
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!
Reliable Car
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.
