  • Cool ride with a few flaws - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I really like the look of the vehicle and the performance under the hood. The car handles well and for the most part has been mechanically sound. The Problems I have experienced include loose wiring that would cause the power seat to stick, and the transmission went out on us. Both of these problems were quickly fixed and covered under warranty. The power Drivers seat uncomfortable and on rough textured roads the road noise is very loud. All in all I would recommend the car to those looking for a moderately priced sedan with enough HP to satisfy the lead foot in all of us.

    Good on gas and has pep. Love the car. It was a one owner before I bought it so I dont know prior history. Engine light came on once because I forgot to replace the gas cap on it. I reset it by disconnecting the battery cable for a few seconds.

  • Love my GT - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I bought my GT 4dr in Sept. of 2001. All 165,000 miles are mine. I have all service records, the car has been excellent. The only problem has been two power window motors, the dash cluster went out and had to replace the fuel sensor in the gas tank. Other than that all has been routine. I still own and love to drive the car.

  • It gets looks - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I have the 2 door GTP special edition. The hood scoops and roof racing rails are a nice touch and along with the 4 tailpipe dual exhaust system make the car looks meaner than the 240hp it has. The only problem I had is rain leaked in from the passenger side door, which wet the back carpet. Dealer fixed and everything else has been great. I wonder about the transmission though as I read other reviews here. Thus far all is good. Car rides smooth and the supercharger sure provides awesome pickup. I love the way it looks (unlike the 2004- models) as well as rides.

  • Amazing Car - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix

    I bought the supercharged special edition 4-door sedan. I got a great deal on it and couldnt be happier. It has everything I want and more! The heads up display is awesome and the heated seat gets toasty quickly. I love the power and can now keep up with the best.

  • Not a happy customer - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I bought this car used and I think it had around 45,000 on it. One month later I had to have the transmission replaced. Needless to say, I wasnt too happy, but I did end up getting a GM warranty when I purchased it. Now, about 11 months later, it sounds like its acting up once again. Get an extended warranty, unless you dont plan on keeping it for very long. And like with all warranty work, the dealers like to take their sweet time getting your car repaired...

  • 2001 GT 4DR in Canada - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    2001 GT 4dr. 32000 kms (T.O. Canada) So far the car has been performing pretty good. Only finding minor squeaks. Other than that car is very responsive and fun to drive. Performes excellent in highway driving but, city dirving eats too much gas.
