  • 2 Years of love so far - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This car was bought in 2007 with 60k on it and never a problem other than a waterpump. The engine is strong as a horse for only 6 cylinders thanks to the supercharger. Highly recommend this vehicle to others.

  • Awesome reliable car - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix

    I owned this car for 2.5 years and put 45,000 miles on it with no problems (other than catalytic converter fixed under warranty). When I traded it in, it still had the original brakes with 75% pads left! I never even had to have an alignment! The only things I ever had to do to the car were oil, tires, and wiper blade changes. I did change the spark plugs at 50,000 miles, but only because I wanted to, it didnt need it. Totally amazing reliability for an American built car. Awesome looks, car ran great, I would highly recommend this car to anyone.

    I love this car! I bought it as a program car, and I have loved it ever since. I have only had one problem that was covered by the warranty. I bought it at 17K miles and I now have 107K and it still has the same get-up-and-go. It has plenty of room for me and my family, and good trunk space. This is as about as good as you can get for your money.

  • Everything youd want in an American car - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I decided to buy the loaded GTP as soon as I test drove the vehicle. Since this was my first new car, I did quite a bit of market research. Sure the Nissan looked great. Sure the Honda looked great. But Im from Detroit and foreign cars just dont cut it in this town. This car has everything I could possibly want. Lots power, great looks, and terrific handling in rain and snow. On top of everything else, I feel proud to support America by buying American products. God Bless the USA. Id also like to thank Edmunds.com for all the great information they supplied to make my car shopping easy. This site is great! Keep up the good work.

  • Good overall, just needs less plastic - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Great car, had 99 Grand Am which was totaled, wanted new pontiac. Love the looks, plenty of power with 3.8l 200hp. After owning a VW, the difference in interior quality is very apparent. Pontiac interior is nice, but needs to lose the plastic feel, nothing wront with plastic, but in moderation!

  • Love my GP - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix

    This is a great car !! I have the 40th anniversary edition and have had zero problems with it. Very reliable, extremely fun to drive.

  • First Grand Prix, but not the last - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    We have owned practically every Pontiac made from the Sunbird to Bonneville. We purchased a 02 GP 4dr and absolutely LOVE IT! The gas mileage can be outstanding, but with even minimal "heavy foot syndrome" it cuts into the old average. I have had mpg as high as 37, but other times we experienced 22 (winter months town driving). The engine is rock solid, but there seems to be some excessive noise coming from the alternator. I have heard this on other Pontiacs and it isnt going to be a problem, just is a little noisy and then goes away. Should have heated mirrors and passenger seat. Cup holders too small.

  • Speed is the word - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I have put 30K on this car in the last 18 months. I drive from LA to San Diego at a typical 85MPH and the ride is great. I have raced others in this class and have yet to be run down. Took out a beamer 330 today from a stop light without breaking 6000RPM! Put aside a little nest egg to pay for the speeding tickets (got mine doing 71 in a 45). Just cant seem to help form pushing that little peddle down... For an additional 1500 get the GTP.
