  • WORST CAR!!! - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I bought the car in 2009. It only had 63000 miles on it. I thought it would be good for a 2002 model vehicle. The interior has cheap plastic. I only got to put 8000 miles on it when there were too many problems to list in order to fix this chunk of metal GM called a car. It did run fairly well. But I was unsure how reliable it would have been on longer trips other than around town. I will NEVER buy another pontiac vehicle.

  • 200k and going strong - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Update to a review a few years ago..my GP now was 200,000 on it, no visible rust we have owned it for the past 100,000 miles and the only work done to it has been maintenance NO issues-ever starts and runs whether its 100* or -40*. I drove this car back and forth for training 800 miles a week in -20 to -40 degree winter and the car avg 28.3mpg over the 6 week time frame..unreal! I have no plans on selling this car until it rots out and then ill buy another one. Great car!

  • I love it! - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Ive had this car for over two years now and have had no problems with it (which would be expected for a car thats only two years old!) It still drives like it did when it was new and Im amazed at the highway gas mileage! We just got a 2005 Subaru Forester and while I love that car and really like the all-wheel drive, my Grand Prix is still the car I prefer driving.

  • Mixed Emotions - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix

    This car is very fun the drive, very responsize handling. Ive had horrible problems with premature tire wear. Ive had to get is aligned 3 times since my purchase. Ive gone through 2 sets of tires, and only have 13K miles in it. The dealer told me I am beating the car, but I drive like Im the grand marshall of a parade. Most of the car is built really well. But in the truck, they placed this little flimsy plug for the light right in the way of the trunk space. Whenever placing large items in the trunk, I crack it off. It sticks out like a sort thumb. The engineer who designed that needs to be fired, and gives quality engineers a bad name.

  • GTP 40th Anniversary - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Great car, I really enjoy the 40th Anniversary features (two-tone leather, dual power seats, dual zone A/C). Should be a collerctors car in a number of years

  • Weve had ours for 8 years now.. - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Still low miles, but we can really Haul in it- we should have a SUV!- I mean 25 gal water, a cooler, tools, clothes, bedding, two dog kennels (in back seat of course!) and other stuff for going to our lakelot half the summer.. We had experience with the 3.1 v6 in a Corsica which went well over 100000 miles,; this one has about 80000 so far (retired; dont drive a lot anymore).. The nice surprise was fuel economy- 37 on a trip going 65-75 mph most of the way. Solid, great handling, loves to cruise at 70+.. Trouble? None- just did brakes first time. If I could find a cherry GTP coupe Id keep it as a collectible!

    Excellent car, for the price, you really cant ask for anything more. There are a couple of minor things that I dont particularly care for. But the rest of the car definitely makes up for it. Its rather powerful engines makes driving VERY fun and exciting. And it handles very smoothly!

  • Excellent Value - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I dont have one single complaint about this car after a little more than a year of owning it. This car is very fun to drive, nice looking, and is very comfortable and spacious for a 2 dr. This is an affordable car that feels like it should be worth a lot more. This is an excellent vehicle to own.

    Wonderful car to drive. Wider is better. Needed something that holds 2 sets of golf clubs - they fit in the trunk very comfortably with space to spare. Also wanted something sporty that handles well - not ready for a Grandma car. But I have a problem with the reliability of the car. Transmission went out after 2 years resulting in major repair (under warranty). And drivers side window quit working consistently after nearly 3 years (barely under warranty).

  • Sharp Car! - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I just bought my new 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT coupe yesterday and I am in love! ;-) This is not the first Grand Prix Ive had though and every time, they have been very reliable, a blast to drive, the factory sound system alone is great, and of course, what a beautiful car! To anyone who is looking into getting a Grand Prix, I would definitely suggest it.
