  • First Car - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Bought a 2002 pontiac grand prix se for my first car only 6months ago. When I got it, it had 122000miles on it, which though high isnt too high. Since buying this car, Ive had 3 windows crap out on me, only fixing the driver side one. It cost about $350 at a dealership to get the window fixed, luckily I found a local mechanic to do it for a lot cheaper. Though now the ignition wont recognize the car as being in park, therefore not releasing the key. Problems just keep adding up, I am able to bypass the the ignition to release the key but I cannot recommend this car. There are multiple reviews online showing that I am not alone, pontiac uses cheap parts making problems more probable.

    Have had this car for almost a year now. Only problem Ive had with it is the manifold gasket, other than that it is an excellent daily driver very reasonable on gas yet still has enough power to have a little fun. I love the simplicity of the interior design (I have the charcoal gray int.)

    I recently turned in my 02 Grand Prix GT Sedan. It was my 3rd Grand Prix in a row since I lease every 3 years. It was a wonderful car - great pickup, good in the snow, roomy inside, big trunk, good sound system & overall fun to drive! I had to have a few items replaced near the end of my lease (water pump, door hinge, entire new sunroof) - but nothing was earth shattering & all was covered under the warranty. I would have purchased it when my lease was over but the price GM wanted me to pay was $3,000 over blue book value!!! Wake up GM!!!

    Bought car for daughter, worst mistake ever. Only 92,000 miles on it and I have replaced the air cond. Unit, alternator and right side head gasket. This car will nickel and dime you to death.

    i took a chance on this car as opposed to the camaro. glad i did. with 200HP and 225 FPT you really cant go wrong. i have run a few times against mustang, BMW, Benz, acura.... beat em all with a stock domestic! the only thing i would have done differently would be to opt for the GTP. once you drive one you will wish you could add a supercharger!

  • Twisted Thoughts - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I was always a 2 door sports car kind of guy, but this 4 door Grand Prix SE is very sharp looking to the human eye.Chicks dig the car, and it has alot of room in it.Very comfortable for the long drives.However, I now hear engine noise at 25000 miles, The dealer said the pistons need to be replaced, and this is common in this model of car.Who needs to buy a new car and have this kind of problem right off the bat??? I always have second thought about this car.Talk to the service dept. in Pontiac before buying this car.I never beat on my vehicles, so tthink about it.Thank god for warranty.

  • Fun-to-Drive Affordable 4 Door - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I purchased a 2002 GT Sedan with every option. The GTs 3800 V6 is one of the best engines ever built - great low end torque, good gas mileage and legendary reliability. Add a smooth shifting transimission and sure footed handling, this car eats up the road. Overall quality fit and finish is below most imports, but look at the price....its a great value. Besides, after 8 months and 10K miles, I have had zero problems. Looking for a sporty, affordable 4 door that wont break the bank ? Check out the GP.
