I just replaced the original battery (8 1/2 yrs old) not bad. i have had trouble with the psgr window but everything cant be perfect all the time, heck they cant even get my pizza order right 1/2 the time :) just relocated, drove the car 550 miles averaged 34.9 miles on hwy and get 23-24 around town. Currently have 75K and looking forward to another 75K!

  • Worth Waiting For-40th Anniversary Editi - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I wanted to splurge on a new vehicle, and after doing some research, I decided to order a 40th anniversary edition. Ordered in August of 2001, following my order through production, it finally arrived in November of 2001. Always a head turner, I only know of one other in the state of Delaware. It has been a pleasure to drive (been to Texas 3X) and gas milage is exceptional considering the engine size and supercharger. It came fully loaded, but I did get the optional heated seat and sunroof. Surprisingly, these are the only items that have needed repair, and fortunately covered under warranty.

  • 2002 GTP - Eat My Dust!!! - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I love this car! I put a K&N filtercharger and big exhaust pipes. I I love racing other cars, especially Monte Carlos. I just burned a 02 Buick LeSabre w/ the same S/C 3800 Series II engine. This guy was so mad, he wanted some more on the next light, so the next time I pushed my performance shift button, and burned him even more. This car got seroius power, well my has about 260HP and 290 Torgue. Everybody better watch out. I cant wait to buy the 2004 G-Force with the new improved 280HP/280Torgue.

  • Good looks and comfort - Bad Tranny - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    The car looks great and feels great to sit in. It was well made for comfort. The Tranny totally blew up with 129k on it. Reg service was done and even serviced the tranny at 50k & 100k. The think is nothing more than yard art since it wont move.

  • Very good vehicle overall - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This car has been very good thus far. The engine is strong and will move the car well when pushed. The steering and suspension are tight, although the car will float at times over major undulations in the pavement. The only downside to having a motor with this much torque is that it does have a degree of torque steer. That and a few squeeks and rattles (that only appear on rough pavement) are the only real issues that I have with the car. Other than that, this car has been very good.

  • Liked the first, bought the second - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    My wife and I liked our 1998 Grand Prix XE so much, we purchased a 2002 Grand Prix GT. Now we both drive Pontiacs and both cars are fun to drive. Of course, the GT is more fun with the extra power, and options that come standard. Nicest looking 4-doors on the market.

  • Good for me! - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I have owned my car now for 5 years and I bought it with 60,000 miles on it. This is a very good running car and is great for the family. My car now has 196,000 miles on it and runs better than the day I bought it! For those who care the gas mileage is great as well as comfort and performance! I use castrol GTX high mileage and have since purchase. I think this may help with how well it still runs.But other than that the only thing that i have had a problem with is my back speakers, they only work when the car sits in the sun at about 80 degrees outside!!

  • Not Made to Last - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Bought the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT which was the third pontiac that I purchased since 1998. The 2002 Grand Prix was a trade in. The Lower Intake Gasket went out on it at 15000. It went out again at 30000 and again at 115000. The car brakes tend to wear prematurely averaging 30K on brakes and rotors. The AC/Heat Knobs tend to break prematurely. The tires goodyear 225/60R16 last about 30K per set. Ive had to replace speed sensors, the fuel line rail, the rear suspension, and wheel nut caps that crack easily upon removal.

  • It has been good to me - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I purchased my grand prix in 2002. The previous owner only had it for a 6 months and couldnt keep up with the payments so she turned it back in to the dealer. I bought it with close to 15,000 miles on it (I have no idea where this woman drove it to). Anyways, Im now at 194,000 miles. It was great up until two years ago when the transmission died on it. I was very meticulous with repairs on my vehicle, which were all normal wear and tear. Since the transmission, its had other major problems that have been costly. Great car, but I am trading it now for a more reliable vehicle for my family. Overall its been good to me.

  • Best Looking Car on the Road - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I think the 2002 Grand Prix competes with the big boys in looks. Actually, I like the design better than the later model design. It also added the 2002 Nascar championship to its resume. What really amazed me about my car with the 3.1 was that I got 33 mpg in pure interstate driving coming home from the dealer. In five mileage checks, I averaged 26 in town. I could not be more pleased with performance. The comfort level is very good especially with the four way driver seat control. I was not used to having automatic controls on everything and that is really nice. The security system is also a nice plus.
