Great Value

I love this car. I can not think of a better value. I also own a corvette and like to use my grand prix for long trips. I will get good use of it for 4- 5 years and it will still have a decent life for the next owner. Comparing it to a car like the vette is not fair but dollar for dollar it is work every cent. You get a powerful engine that responds. Decent comfort and great style. Try other cars that are priced the same and the grand prix is at the top of the list.

Overall, I have been pleased with the GTP. I have owned the supercharged engine before and it's a primary reason why I bought this car. It is very strong at 260 hp- although I have not gunned it too much yet- still new. The car definitely looks cool in black- almost batman -like. I get all kinds of looks from people. Lots of features plus a good, sporty look got me into this car. I also got the GM employee price minus my GM card rebate which came out to be around 25K for a totally loaded 2005 GTP. Pretty good deal for what you get. Definitely not a boring-looking Accord or a Camry..

Not a bad car for the price

I bought my Pontiac Grand Prix safetied almost a year ago at 246xxx kms. I’ve had a couple issues since Including the elbow hose under the hood which was causing it to spray coolant out and my car would overheat. Got that fixed and since then I’ve only had to replace a wheel bearing and my gas line. It’s been very reliable and surprisingly good on gas. Something to look out for on these cars is the transmissions. On the base model (which I have) they are better, but I’m at 274xxx kms right now and my engine has been on and off starting to clunk for the past 20k......also is doing this thing when I reach around 80mph is starts rocking back and forth and almost seems like it’s bogging, but after accelerating a little it stops. It’s very easy to fix things on these cars, and I’d say they’re good starter cars.

We purchased this car used with Warranty from GM still in tact. It's been a great car, cosmetically it is beautiful. The short stubby antenna is horrible for receiving radio stations unless you are in town near the transmitter site or within a 10 mile radius. Steel antennas do a better job. Other than the reception of FM/AM in this car, the only other gripe I have, it much like the Trans Am, and Grand Am, the Grand Prix feels like you are having to lift yourself out of the car. I am used to a mini van or SUV where I don't need to LIFT myself from the seat. The seats are very comfortable. Maintenance on this one is great. No mechanical problems the entire time I have owned it which is about 4 years now. (Knock on wood). There is lots of trunk space, I do notice blind spots in the back while driving. Sometimes we may not notice a vehicle riding in our blind spot. The back seat seems to block our view also the angle of the posts for the roof support are positioned in a way which create a blind spot. The 97 Grand Am also has the same problem. They are good cars, but the blind spots and sitting low to the ground are an issue I cannot over look. Other than those issues, I am happy with the quality of the 2005 Grand Prix. It is very reliable, and does exactly what a car needs to. if a bulb burns out, the computer will tell you. Then you replace it. No more warning signals. I do like the intelligence, of this car. But miss the cars where computers didn't run everything.

I got a 2006 Grand Prix as my very first car, it was used.From the moment I started to drive the car I loved it. I never had any problems with it, as I did keep up with care on it. Nothing out of the ordinary happened with it, it was always a great car, specially the night it saved my life, and 3 other peoples. That night the tires slid on ice. We slid straight into a guard rail on the drivers side in the middle between the doors. Then flipped over the guard rail and flipped twice. The car took the impact like a champ, and saved our lives all 4 of us walked away. The car did it's job & protected me and my passengers. This car was nothing but great.
