2004 Pontiac Grand Prix

Having previously owned a 2002 Grand Prix, which was totaled in an accident, I sought another Grand Prix. I enjoy driving this car due to the quick pick up and go and the comfortableness of the seats. The interior is much sportier and appealing. Although I do prefer the 2002 exterior better. This car looks very sporty and drives very nicely.

We purchased this car to save on gas, we had a Dodge SUV and it was a loan for gas. My Grand Prix is fun to drive, classy but yet sporty. My 7 year old son, thinks he is cool. I feel like a Princess driving this car. People stop and just look at my car. It's drop dead gorgeous. My husband even loves the car.

A Great Steal

After rebates, paid just under $14K. For that amount, it is a great car. It is responsive and engergetic in everyday driving, quick when pushed. Individual Map lights are absent on the Base model, which most base Korean cars have. Base stereo is weak. Still a bit too much hard plastic on the dashboard, though the layout/ergonomics are FAR improved from the previous generation. A generally great car, and even without the insane deal, I would happily drive it over the boring 4 cylinder versions of the Camry, Accord, Altima, or Mazda 6.

GRAND PRIX GIVES YOU EXCITEMENT!

The 3.8L V-6's 205 Horsepower gives true excitement to this sporty mid-size sedan. The low end torque moves the Grand Prix across intersections with tremendous authority, leaving most cars behind! Most passengers ask if I have the supercharged V-6 that comes in the pricier GTP. Fuel economy averages 28 miles per gallon with highway trips averaging well over 30 miles per gallon! The front bucket seats are very supportive and hold your body in place when taking avantage of the twisty road ahead of you. The back seat offers above average passenger comfort and handles the child safety seat just fine. Pontiac has lived up to its reputation of excitement with this new Grand Prix as well as value!

CompG Package makes big difference

My GP is equipped with the CompG performance package which includes: Head Up Display, Tap Shift, higher gear ratios, stiffer rear sway bar, and red brake calipers, maybe a few other things. The gear ratios dramatically improve acceleration and the sway bar makes this thing handle like a dream. It still maintains a quiet comfortable ride on the highway but is rigid during spirited driving. My biggest complaint about the car is the shifting performance in standard automatic mode, it just doesn't downshift quickly enough and lets the RPM fall well below the power band before it switches to a lower gear. This is alleviated by the Tap Shift system which will let you shift manually.
