Used 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP Consumer Reviews
GXP Grand prix
Love this car! Fun Fun and more fun! But I like to just cruise and take in easy in the most wonderful (and great looking) sport seats! Great sound system. Reviewers bad rap this auto, how it looks ( body). Trust me people still look at it all the time. Still loved by the common folk!
Sweet!
This car is the car of my dreams! It rides smoothly which makes me feel like I'm floating. I love the space and all the things that come along with it!!!

Hidden Gem
Excellent car for a V6, good on gas(1.30 liter about 150km per $25), reliable(only had to change brake pads and rotors thus far--normal for any vehicle. Barely touches the gas to move, can lay down a strips with smoke no problem, outruns a lot of vehicles both older and newer, hits top speed no problem without governor, tons of cabin/cargo space, comfy bucket seats, wish it came with a supercharger. GM should revive the Grand Prix, same engine with a super charger(Make the V6 308HP at least instead of 208HP, AWD, Dual calibers, independent suspension and she'd be a modest monster. Give her some modern touches like LED lights or Halos, hand-stitched leather steering wheel, BOSE sound system with build in amp, bump the top speed a bit and increase the governed speed to 200km at least, a more premium exhaust system. I would buy that car hands down because I know it would be reliable and top a lot of modern vehicles, even if they made it a crossover or SUV would be neat as well -- call it the Grand Prix XS or Grand Prix S. Only issue was with airbags and I've seen these cars with over 350,000km and no issues.

I looovvvvveeeee my GXP!!!
I don't care what these concierge "bloggers/authors" say about the "GXP" in their reviews.. My '08 is still great all around and the performance it delivers is more then enough to keep up with the "flock" and deliver a great driving experience..

Sleeper GXP
I purchased this car with about 12,000 on it, as a former program car. The car right of the bat sold itself as far as performance and comfort went. I fell in love with the rumble of the exhaust..And punch the pedal and you can feel the pull. As for torque steer, we are talking about an big torgue high hp V-8 in a car...Not some little handa with 200 hp and no real torque, so of course you will have this at times. Just hold on and make sure you are aimed in a direction other than whats desired! Torque steer can also be found in any Cadillac fwd with the northstar!
gas guzzler
I bought this car for my wife with 30000 miles on it. It has been in the shop several times. Issues with not starting, rack and pinion leak, and trans slipping with 34000 miles. I also found out it was a Hertz rental. So it definitely has been beat on. mileage is not good, city is 14.5 no highway trips yet but definitely a thirsty engine.
Mpgs on a gxp
For one love the V8 power and leather seats. I purchased car may of 2017. It was getting 22 mpgs on highway driven so me wanting performance and mpgs I looked for cold air kit I could not find one so I to air box out and looked the dinky hole it's suppose to draw air threw I drilled a bigger hole next to it next road trip 26 mpg 70 mph. Then I found diablosport that keeps your ride in V8 mode longer and plugged that in but I jumped to 34.77 mpg doing that. Then u put headers and cat back system. And getting 42 mpg. I love the car now it's awesome. But only gets like 12 in town but just baught v8 mode chip
