Engine failure

My new 2005 GP lasted less than 500 miles before smoke started pouring out of the exhaust. The dealer has had the car for 2 weeks and still has no idea what is wrong. They have torn down the engine and are at a loss what to do next. Pontiac has suggested that they may have to crate up the engine and replace the whole thing. This is quite an investment to have sitting in a garage. I suggest you think twice before purchasing a 2005 GP.

This car is a beautiful car, however some rider may not find it statisfying to them, there are cars are lemons, and dealer has no fault of it. Like any other cars always here and there you will notice a few issues, but on whole this car is reponsive, ecellent riding manner, excellent accerlation, and the look and the power. GM should tight this car alittle bit ad some luxury features inside and that is it, why this car manufatures cheep like that, if they can't improve this car esprcailly becuase it is #1 selling car for them, then I do ot blame the foreign import to beat the heck on GM.

It accelerates and corners great! Good gas mileage and stereo sound. SE has all the Opts. IT'S A GREAT CAR FOR 40,000 MILES THEN >>> HOWEVER, It has some very poor workmanship or design problems. 3 windows and some of the blower speeds for AC/heat quit working! Only have 2 speeds left. GM WILL NOT REPLACE THE PARTS!!!! EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THESE THINGS are breaking down on the products. There have been a lot of complaints in these 2 areas. The seats are like sitting on a 2 by 4..lol HENCE hard on the butt for long distances ..lol.

I only driven Pontiac(s) for the past 10 years. I only drove the Grand AMs (GT)though. However, after purchasing the GTP, I've been cheating myself. The body style of the Grand Prix is great. The widetrack,the car handeles the road excellently. I love the heads-up display, I can keep my eyes on the road at all time. I have the full package on the car from the heated seats and Onstar and XM Satellite radio the 6 CD Exchanger is the magnificent. The engineer really out did themselves this time. I Love my Grand Prix GTP

I bought this car for my wife. Certified GM used with warranty. It offers a good drive, with excellent comfort for the leather bucket seats. Driver ergonomics are unmatched. However, with the 200 hp 3800, it feels big and lumbering. I love the rumble from the dual exhaust, but its an overall underwhelming experience. I'd definitely recommend finding a GTP for more power. It has great looks and we love the silver exterior with the black leather and moonroof. Heater fan detonated recently, a costly repair without the bumper to bumper warranty. Other than that, not a single problem!

My new ride

This is the third Pontiac I've owned and it easily outclasses all the others in all-around performance. Not as fast or cool as the Trans-Am I drove in the 80s, but a lot more useful and quiet for long highway trips. The 3800 V-6 is dead reliable and the ride is firm yet comfortable. The front buckets are a bit tight for persons of girth but the leather/vinyl is very attractive. My wife drives a Grand Am and constantly wants to switch cars with me. I suppose one can call it an average mid-size sedan with solid reliability but that's not intended to be a criticism. It does exactly what I expect it to do: carry me around in style without breaking the bank and making me look like an old fart.

This is a great car for $20K after rebates. So far, 14,000 miles in 6 months and it hasn't skipped a beat. Fuel mileage is good and varies with driving habits. Power is more than sufficient and it cruises well on the highway. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this car.

My fiancee and I love this car! Fun to drive and plenty of zip off that supercharged 3800 series III V-6 rated at 260+ hp. Styling is eye appealing, the first day we took it out we received several compliments at stoplights and one challenge from some uneducated teen in a Mustang - sorry son- not my fault the 4-door "family car" left you in the dust. LOL! The vehicle interior is full of fun gadgets- though the number of buttons can be a little overwhelming at times - each serve their purpose and are nice amenities to have - such as Heads Up Displace, XM Radio, On-Star, Monitors for Oil Life, Average Speed, Trip Time, Gas Mileage and many many more helpful and informative and SAFETY!

Pontiac Grand Prix GT: Take another look

Looking forward to the release of Buick's replacement for the Regal, I kept looking at the Grand Prix. After driving both the LaCrosse CXL and the Grand Prix GT, the choice was easy. The GP-GT is more to my personal liking due to its crisp handling (for a midsize vehicle, it is great), and the responsiveness in acceleration, even though the LaCrosse & GP are built on the same platform and use the same powertrain. The GP is simply more sporty than its cousin from Buick. On a rercent trip, I experienced 31 MPG at highway speeds. The comfortable leather interior that kept away fatigue on a 5- hour drive: very nice! The Monsoon system would be worth the extra money

This is simply the best vehicle that I have owned hands down. I feel like I own the road when I'm dring the GTP. I tried the Maxima and Accord, but they didn't have the excitement or looks of the GTP. The GTP is one brilliantly designed top quality car. I have over 12,000 trouble free enjoyable miles on the GTP.

Car is fun to drive; many of the options I didn't really think I needed, but now love them. Particularly the supercharged engine. However, am disappointed in the size (too small) and ride - not the soft, cushy ride I am used to in other GM products. Overall, am happy with car.

Driving the Grand Prix is nothing but pure excitement that gives confidence to any driver and a little attitude. With the quick acceleration and easy handling you can glide over any road imaginable and avoid those potholes on your daily route to work. I am a very satisfied customer and if you see me coming just get out of my way. That Pontiac is a mean machine!

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!

I love this car! I never would have bought a Pontiac 10 years ago. The car is designed very well and the seats are very supportive. The ride is soft yet somehow sporty too. I love the throaty sound of the exhaust. I've had three people in the last year comment on how they like the sound of my car. I often journey on 500 mile road trips and arrive refreshed. Now the back seat does feel like you are looking out from a well, but I prefer the seat right behind the steering wheel. The 28mpg rating is accurate. No hybrids for me when I can have the power and convienence of this engine. Hats off to GM for the first car I've enjoyed in a long while.

This car has been fun to drive, yet is good for the family. Its the perfect car for those of us who don't want to grow up yet. It has had some minor issues, but overall its performance, I feel, beat the Saab, Volvo, and BMW that I drove at the same time. This car is comfortable, fast on the take off and is 'solid'. I could have purchased the other vehicles, but the GTP was roomier, more comfortable, and more fun!

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.

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.

I purchased my Grand Prix because my wife has a 2002 Grand Prix which has 83,000 miles and the only repair was a wheel bearing. I have replaced tires and brakes but these are normal maintenance. I replaced my 2001 Camry, with the 2005 Grand Prix, the Camry was not a good car, I purchased it brand new and it had issues at 25,000 miles which were under warranty, but the last two years it was starting to cost me big bucks, it was time to get rid of it.89,000) Iwas always comparing my Toyota with the 2002 Grand Prix, which I purchased with 16,000 miles. Toyota makes a good car but mine must have been built by trainees. When I saw the 2005 Grand Prix and I took it out, I fell in love with it.

I just took delivery of my new 05 GT and have had it now for about a week. I am very impressed with this vehicle. It is my 2nd Grand Prix and the car has gotten much better. The restyled interior is great. Everything is within easy reach of the driver's seat. The throttle response from the engine is right where it needs to be, and the engine has plenty of power in passing situations. The handling seems much imporved as well. The only negative so far is fuel economy in city driving. On the Highway its great but in day to day situations it can be improved.

Cars are often rated by factors such as reliability, safety, and performance, but there is one key feature that most reviewers can't explain...the thrill. The Grand Prix, particularly in the GTP w/ Competition Group package, was a car that was immediately exciting to sit in, and even moreso once it was taken on the road. All stresses and worries are taken away every day when I get in it now...it has the stability and roominess of a large car, but effortless steering and power more typically associated with lighter sports cars. Not only that, but the car allows me to go fast, look fast, and not look like a pompous jerk or a pimpled teen while doing it. Accords don't have that ability.

Love the car, sporty handling in turns and still comfy on the hwy and am getting far better mpg than ssei. Got about $5000 off list with GM incentives. Was looking at Camrys and they were stripped down at this price. I'm also a big fan of the 3.8v6... even with the pushrods.

Bought a 2004 GTP for myself and this year a 2005 GTP for my wife. Both are great cars, however the 2005 has the heads up display which is nice and the XM radio which is a dream. Speed and handling are superb even in snow. Traction control saved me on black ice! Only down side it is a little tight with people in the back seat as I like a lot of leg room when driving. Styling is subjective but it appears mean looking particularly in black.

The car offers more performance, comfort and luxury features than anything else in its size range. GM's financing made it our lease a "steal" and we'll be back for another one in 3 years. BTW, our other car is a 2003 Grand Am GT 2-dr that offers sportiness at a low price. It ain't a performance car, but it sure gives good value for the money!

My '99 Buick Regal LSE was getting up in mileage and I was attracted by the GM rebate offers. '04 was the last year for the Regal, so I checked out the LaCrosse. I was not thrilled by the syling and looked at the Pontiac G6. While looking at the G6 is saw the Grand Prix. I loved the exterior styling and noticed that many options on the LaCrosse were standard on the Grand Prix.

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.

All I can say is drive this thing and enjoy. I came out of a park avenue and into the grand prix. It rides a little rough compared to the park ave, but this thing is slick. The handling and the comfort form a mid sized Rocket ship is outstanding. The fule mileage is outstanding and the sight lines are also great from a car so low to the ground. Go and have some fun and be safe.

From the day I bought the Grand Prix GTP I really enjoyed the performance of the supercharged engine. The only problem is the low roof line. I enjoy driving long distances the seats and gauges are excellent. Gas mileage is okay for a large midsize car. Even though the 3.8 is old technology, GM has come a long way with making the engine quite yet with the supercharger it is very responsive.

Very comfortable, solid build quality and gives performance and handling with many choices from sedan to gxp. Two trips and averaged 32 mpg on the freeway, some small cars can't achieve. I have tweaked my car a little and the 3.8L V6 is probably the best gm V6 that they made, rock solid and reliability to back it up. Excellent looks and big enough for the family and huge trunk for the summer vacation. My grand prix is fun to drive and is that what its all about, enjoying driving your car and for the price its a darn good deal.

I fell it is to small, I paid 32,000 and went back 6 months later to trade in and they only wanted to give me 16000. Feel every bump, speakers vibrate too much

Picked up my gorgeous stealth gray Grand Prix with 84000 miles on it for $5800. After I did the brakes and purge valve, which is a common thing to fail, it drove like a brand new car. Still feels tight after all the miles and very quiet with the windows rolled up. I've owned higher end luxury car, i.e Lexus, Audi, Cadillac STS, so I can see the drop off in the quality of materials, but the GP's base V6 performance feels as powerful as the 300hp+ engines I am used too.I am on a budget and this car satisfies my needs for the time being. I plan to drive it to the ground!

Went to buy a Bonneville but Pontiac wasn't dealing with that car so I got talked into a Grand Prix. Nice car and fun to drive but windshield is way to rakish and low. Cannot get in and out without hitting my head. Seat has to at lowest and furthest back position to avoid my head touching the ceiling. Homelink would have been a great option. Back seats are all but useless. Front bucket seats are too narrow. Not a family vehicle. It was a big mistake to buy this vehicle.
