This is my second Grand Prix. I bought my 97 because it was a good value and the 04 GTP comp remains a good value. I looked at the G35 and Maxima but when negotiating a deal GM remained the most competitive with a ton of rebates. The car is still fun to drive and practical when traveling. Still find the tires to be slippery in rain like the 97 but a set of Coopers will fix that in time. Had a difficult time selling the 97...hope the 04 grows on me as well.
I loved it when I bought it

As a car guy I really enjoyed this car at first. So far I've had the steering repaired. Recently, the a/c compressor bearing went out. That skewed the belt which put tension where it didn't belong. The alternator, tensioners and compressor all needed replacement. The new compressor (a GM part) has significantly higher sides to keep the belt in place. I've also learned there's a problem with the intake gaskets and some day they'll need replacement. (My wife's '05 Impala already went through this.) GM has some serious quality problems here and it's not just on Pontiac. I hate to say it, but I'll be looking at foreign cars next time I buy and GM can only blame themselves.

Other than the initial recall of the gas pedal assembly when the car was new, I have had no issues with this car in the 6+ years/66k miles I've had it. Other than routine maintenance, I haven't put a dime into what would be considered a "repair". It's by no means a "sports car", but it is very good at what it's intended to be--a comfortable, quiet, good handling, RELIABLE sedan. And fuel mileage is decent too-- 30 mpg @ 70 mph on long trips/20 mpg stop & go. If it continues to be as good as it's been, I will drive it until the wheels fall off, which should be quite a few years off.
Imports are junk

This car purely rocks. Who needs import junk, when this car blows them all away in all categories including reliability, fuel economy, and just plain hauling but !!!!
It's the little things that matter most!

21,000 miles - I have had no problems with my GP mechanically yet. I am however a new york resident, and I often get pounded by the snow here. One of the first things that I noticed was that when lifting the windshield wipers up, they are stopped by there arms hitting the hood. This only allows for about 6 inches to clear all the snow and ice off, and they don't stay up, so you have to hold them. Also, the salt requires frequent squirts of washer fluid, but even the slightest cold weather freezes the squirters. The windows freeze easily too. The heated seats will burn your butt though! The chrome handles get scratched very easily. I always wanted a GP, and now I have one, it's nice.
