  • Great car, lacks options. - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    As a 26 year old male, this car is a perfect fit. I bought a 2002 GT for the great looks, great power, Great space, and fantastic cornering. However, even at the high end options there are options missing that I would like to see (see below) I will definately buy another Grand Prix in the future, the new body looks interesting...

  • Fun vehicle - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Have enjoyed this car from day one. As a automotive mechanics instructor I know cars and this is a good one. This thing has give me one problem wheel bearings the left bearing got loose at 45000 well out of warranty but Franks Pontiac in Lyndhurst,NJ repaired it at no charge even though I could have fixed it myself. The handling is great for a decent sized car as are the brakes. The engine is GMs bulletproof 3.8 Normally aspirated V-6. I replaced the tires with BF Goodrich Traction T/as at 39K the thing handles like a sports car great in rain/snow and NJs horrendous roads. Still looks good and runs great after 75000 miles. I plan to buy another in a short time.

  • Never own one again - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I am a 17 yr. old female and bought my 2002 off the showroom floor. The biggest mistake I have ever made was buying that car. Yes it looks nice and will get on it but I will never buy a Pontiac again. After the first 1,000 miles it does not run the same. My horn has the tendency to go off without me pushing it. There are all kinds of sounds coming from the panels. I work at a Ford dealership and I have never seen a vehicle cheaper built than Pontiacs. I will be switching back to ford this year.

  • 40th Anniversary Winner! - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    An excellent vehicle on all fronts. Great styling, handlng, supercharger kicks in nice and smooth with a steady excelleration, much more so than that of a turbo. Dark Cherry paint and interior two tone nice touches. Best of all is the braking system, which is the BEST I have ever driven. No complaints with the MPG as I am averaging 26mpg highway, and 20city.

  • Pontiac Enjoyment - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    My Grand Prix has been put through some extreme conditions, and still came through a champ. During a 5 mile white out on Christmas Day my Grand Prixs braking was put to the test. Cars were spinning out left and right as I passed by. I always felt in control and 100% confident with my car. During a 90+ degreee day in bumper to bumer traffic for hours heading into Chicago, my car never once cracked above its normal temperature. My car is an absolute joy to drive and the compliments I get (when its clean) are numerous!

    Under valued for its performance and raw appeal. The GTP has everything a yupie could want and your teenage son.

  • Easy-To-Smoke em!! - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Purchased my 2002 GTP Sedan in March and did not get a real "feel" until I took a road trip..... AWESOME! Ive owned a couple of dozen cars, including performance cars, and this one takes the cake! I dont care what speed youre traveling, stomp the pedal and this monster JUMPS! I luv playing with Mustang GTs!

  • Typical GM product - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I owned a 1979 Grand prix and it was an awesome car...They should build them like they used to. I switched to chevrolet after bad experiences with other GM vehicles (firebirds)and after I totaled (not my fault) my camaro I decided I wanted a larger safer car so I bought my 2002 Grand Prix SE.. It is a good riding car but uncomfortable to ride in. The seats should be softer and should hug your body more. I was just hit with an unexpected but obvious problem with the Grand Prix. The bearings went out on my front driver side at 68,000 miles and cost me over $500 to repair. From what I was told by several repair shops this is a COMMON problem with these cars. Seems GM has some work to do!!!!

    I was pretty lucky when my fiancée discovered my car on Kijiji! A private dealer had gotten my ride from a dealership where it has been traded in for a new car. The last owners basically used the car to drive to the store and church when it wasnt garaged most of its life! With only 114,000 kms and mint inside and very good outside it was pretty much brand new! Anyway, on to my review! A blast to drive, fast and handles awesome! I use it mostly for the highway as Im traveling between provinces for work and moving. Glides perfectly at high speeds and before you know it youre doing 140 without watching your speed.
