Reliable Car ~ So sad to see it go....
I had this car fora about a year, and I bought it at 180,000 miles on it....quiet, ran like new! I had absolutely no problems with this car besides regular maintenance like oil change, tire rotation, the usual stuff. I wasn't a big fan of the dark teal colored pain job, and interior is pretty boring, but the quality of this car is a keeper for sure! **I'm sorry, I was at the shop one time, this is when I first bought it, I had to get my water pump replaced, but that was it...
Love It
Have had my 2006 for eight years. She has over 240,000 miles and I've only done basic maintenance. A comfortable ride which is important with a two hour commute each day. Great performance and gas mileage! I've started looking for another vehicle and plan to pass this one to the kids. I wish the Grand Prix's were still being produced!
Not a bad first car these days, but research first
First let me say that this car isn't bad. It's a very comfortable car, and mine came with bucket seats which are very cozy. The sound system is great, mine came from the dealership with Bose speakers that are very crisp and clear. However, the interior/entertainment is not where my issues are. I am constantly having to replace/repair something on this car. In the 3 years I've had it, I've replaced the front tie rod, the exhaust, the thermostat, the rotors twice, the brakes 3 times, among others. This car is starting to not be worth the trouble. Not to mention the very mediocre gas mileage compared to newer cars. I drive very conservatively (partially due to the fear of breaking something else) and the most MPG I've ever gotten out of this car was 26 miles and that was 100% highway driving for 280 miles. It's a very comfortable car, but like my other Grand Prix that I had before this one, it's a money pit after a while. Make sure to do your research.

Realiable is the way
I purchased this car 2 years ago with the intention of having it temporarily and then trading it in. It has proven to be realiable after I added another 60k to the odometer. Just recently had issue with heater core which caused no heat and air. Once fixed it worked like a charm. I also put a twin mattress in the trunck with back seats down and was able to close the trunk. No pick up truck necessary!!May be time to get rid of as the kids are complaining they don't have enough back seat leg room of which I have to agree is a little on the short side. Just hope I can find something as realiable as the Grand Prix.....
fun to drive.... bad to wreck
I bought this car about 2 years ago first and last pontiac i ever owned. owned 2 different cavaliers previously both went to 180000 miles with only oil changes and alternator going out on both. the grand prix on the other had... it was a blast to drive great acceleration... looked great....automatic start wonderful... my husband was unfortunatly involved in a serious crash in this vehicle and was killed instantly... was hit in the passanger side door and the entire car broke in half... the sheriffs department,tow company and others that were at the scene stated they never saw another car split like it did. the weld in the frame came apart upon impact and possible was defective.
