Uncomfortable seats, but good car

I didn't do enough research and I'm regretting it. Its a good car, but when commuting two hours/day, some things I dont like. The seats are uncomfortable in shoulder width. I dont have wide shoulders, but only one fits in the center part of the seat. The other is on the bolsters. Wearing down the cushion may help. Im too high. Cant believe that seat doesn't go lower. When I put the visor down, it blocks my view. Im 5'6" Getting in/out is more difficult than in my Civic. The steering wheel gets in the way. Great power. HVAC good, but back window fogs. Back window is difficult to see out of when raining.

I JUST LOVE MY GRAND PRIX! I LIVE IN THE BUFFALO NY AREA AND THE CAR HANDLES JUST GREAT IN THE SNOW. HAVING DRIVEN A CARAVAN FOR THE LAST 10 YRS, I COULDN'T WAIT TO COMPARE, I WILL NEVER GO BACK. THE GT2 HAS JUST ENOUGH LUXURIES TO KEEP THE COST AFFORDABLE. MORE THAN AMPLE TRUNK SPACE. THANKS FOR MAKING MY NEW CAR EXPERIENCE SO GREAT!!
Fast, Fun, but cheap interior feel...

This car is a blast to drive and it is very forgiving and responsive at high speeds. The interior layout is excellent as far as the driver controls and my only complaint would be the cheap feel of the interior construction. If you are gong to get one of these (and I highly recommend it) you have to get the GTP with comp group "G". If you dont you will be sorry. I look forward to driving this car everyday, even to the store just to buy milk! The car is flat out FUN and will smoke the tires through an intersection if that is what you like to do, and that is with the traction control on. GM designers know what car enthusiasts like and they built it!

I've only had the car for one month, but it is the best car for long term driving that I bought to date. I travel over 750 miles weekly and have not been uncomfortable yet. Should have bumped up the stereo option, but I'll just get an aftermarket one itstalled for less. Love the power to pass on the highway.

I am not a GM fan but bought this car for my wife who absolutley loves her new GT2 with leather and sunroof. Fit an finish is excellent. New styling is well done. Re-do from previous model hits the mark. Avoid the cloth interior. Seats are very firm and take some adjusting to get used to but lateral support is excellent. The 90 degree openings rear doors and forward folding front passenger seat are well engineeered and practical. Ample interior room and spacious trunk. Tight and quiet - firm handling.
Great Car

I recently traded a 02 BMW 330Ci for a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, I am extremly satisfied with the performance and build quality. I feel it is better than the BMW, and certainly a better value.

We recently went on vacation and had this car as our rental car. We liked it so much that when our week of rental was over we were bummed out so we came home and bought it. We have only had it for a month but so far so good. Love the Onstar and Xm radio. Very fast too! My husband wishes they had a 2 for 1 special because he can't get it from me!

as soon as I sat in my Grand Prix GTP I fell in love w/ this high performance machine{competition group}the steering is nice and tight and the powerfull engine in this car I have no problem whatsoever getting onto a highway or out of somebody ealses way. When I first came home with this car, heads turned to see this sharp car and other guys gave and still do give me the thumbs up gester. I've owned the GTP since Oct.14th 2003, and still can't wait to get back behind the wheel, still to this day{Feb.16th,2004}

This has been the grandest of all my vehicles. I absolutely love this vehicle. I actually get 27-28 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. Outstanding vehicle, power in the engine is great. I love the hauling space with the fold down back seats AND the extra fold back front passenger seat. This was my first vehicle with traction control and what a difference that made this past winter when I was on black ice and didn't even know it. This car is definitely a keeper. I was so to hear that Pontiac Grand Prix was thrown to the wolves.
i love my GTP

I love this car! The GP GTP Comp G polo green exterior and parchment interior car I purchased impressed me so much that we purchased another (black) GP with exact same options for our daughter as a college graduation present. The safety feature options were a major factor in this decision (HUD,stabilitrak, traction control, ABS, and head side curtain impact bags). Performance and handling are superb.

For apperance it needs the chrome wheels as I have. The heads-up with the other add-on it intails, I wish I had and the car would be perfact, The gas miliage leaves a lot to be desired as I only get about ten city, and highway is twenty-one at best. The car is rated 18- 28. I also have the sunroof and leather w/heated seats.

My wife bought this car in October of 2004 and we have enjoyed it every day since. The handling is excellent, acceleration is good and the fold-down rear seats allow for vasts amounts of cargo space when needed. I also get great MPG (28 average). Edmunds rates that the engine is noisy, but I disagree. You can hear the growl without having to shout over it which is exactly how I think it should sound! I agree with all of the Pro's listed by Edmunds. I wish our car had the HUD as that is the only option that our GP does not have. Mechanically, our I-shaft experienced 'stick-slip', but it was covered under warranty and was taken care of by the dealer without issue. No other issues since

The Pontiac GTP is an excellent car. The power, performance and interior styling coupled with both standard and optional features makes it a driving pleasure. GM's hot new fusion metalic orange color makes this car a head turner.

This is my third Grand Prix GTP as this is what the company I work for issues (Revious years were 2000 and 1997). The 2004 GTP w/ Comp. Group Pack. is the way to go. A little more refined versus previous years though drivers seat is mounted way to high for a sports car. Tap Shift works well and is fun to operate although not required to get the performance.. The Supercharger (GTP) is and well worth it. Heads Up Display is great and controls are improved. I do miss the Auto Night Vision Review Mirror Light Dimmer though.. GM please send me one. Performance is excellent and very responsive, ride is stiffer, steering is tighter and brakes are improved.
I Like It!

Haven't had it long, but boy do I love this car. I had a 2001 SE that was great, so I bought this GT2. With the Fusion Orange paint on this car, it looks awesome. There is power when you need it, and on recent long highway trips, I got just over 30 miles to the gallon. Not bad for a 3.8L.

This is my 3rd body style of the Grand Prix. I'm most disappointed with the ride. My last two have run to 125,000 miles and have had to nothing but replace the struts on the '99 model after 100,000 miles. Prior to replacing the struts, the car rode like an OLD Dodge pickup --- Every bump was felt. The '04 was purchased with 1,100 miles and rides like an OLD Dodge Pickup. I feel every bump. A dealership has aligned, balanced, etc. & still rides like a truck. Very happy with the '95 & the '99; Severely Disappointed with the '04!!!

I have had my Grand Prix GTP for almost three years now, and have found it to be a comfortable, fast, fun to drive car that can get 25 mpg on the highway. I have never had any problems with it, and since I drive a lot at night, a car that is dependable is a must.

The engine preformance is great for a V6, it will put you back in your seat. Cup holders are needed in the rear seating area and an arm rest, ashtry would also be nice. I can't say enough about the sedan, I'm 41 years old and would never think about owning anything other than a coupe but this machine did win me over!

Turned in my 2002GT. Major improvement, but still needs more. I have put over 8K on it since early September with no problems. My biggest problem is with my lead foot - my gas mileage is not even close to what it should be (20 mpg on my last tank - freeway miles)! Would have preferred a MAJOR restyling, rather than an update, but it's still better.

I bought my car as a demo with 750 miles on the odometer. My first major roadtrip was from Detroit to Rochester MN. The car handled magnificantly on both Highway and backroad driving. Acceleration was superb and it was so much fun using the Tap Shift manual shifting around some of those corners in MN. Great car!!!

The GP comp group is finally an alternative to the grossly overpriced BMW. Though the sporty GM lacks European refinement, it is a godsend compared to GM's of past. The car handles great for a front driver and easily runs with a 5 series on the interstate. Performance will be its strong point. Comfort for adults in the rear is minimal, but who really cars. You buy the GTP model for the cockpit performance...This is a driver's car.

We're a family of four and about to be empty nesters. We were looking for a minivan replacement, and frankly the $6K rebate is what sold us this car. It's good looking to us and the front seats are very comfortabe. But after a year with the car we have issues: cheap interior plastics are hard to clean; Engine has plenty of torque, but it always feels heavy; OEM tires impossible to keep balanced; it's hard to back up; and the rear seat is downright painful for anyone over 12. (We noticed the rear seat has improved in the 2005 model) Anyway, it's still fun to drive when it's just my wife and I. The stereo is excellent, it handles well and it's big V6 is good for interstate crusing.
Fun to Drive!

I am so tired of writers saying the Toyota Camry is the best auto-- it is a bland auto. The new GP is a good example of the new thinking at GM. This car is comfortable and the styling is pure Pontiac- which is not bland! I have not had to return to the dealer for any problems-San Antonio is a very compettive mkt. for car sales. I answered an ad for $4,000 off retail and received it no questions asked! So far mr experence has been very positive with this car.

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.

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.

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.
