  Owner, Auto Mechanic - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Joe111089 - May 2 - 10:00 am

  The 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 4Dr is a real nice car. Spacious interior front and back. Comfortable ride great stereo and handles very well. Other automakers should follow suit and stop making cars so small. This is America we like to eat.

  140k and counting - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By darkcarnival - February 11 - 11:23 am

  I have had this car for almost 8 years. I LOVE this car. Yes, there are a few things wrong. The windows clamps do break and the windows fall. When its 110 out, the plastic does not hold up to the heat. The other thing is the Intake Manifold Gasket. Yes.... Replaced twice... My mechanic flushed all the DexCool out and replaced it with normal coolant. It has been that way for 5 years now, no problems. I love the way the car drives, looks, runs, and the power it has. I am so sad that they did away with Pontiac :-(

  Needs toys to get going - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Greg - January 3 - 8:53 am

  I bought my GTP when it was two years old and had only 7k on it. At first I really like the torque of the supercharger, but after ridding in other non-supercharged six cylinder coupes/sedans im no longer impressed that much. The car has a nice exterior look to it, but once you open the door and set inside the cheesy interior appointments is what gets your attention. Way too much plastic inside. I have to say that the drivers seat is very comfortable, but the passenger seat is a bear. Ive put 2k worth of go fast goodies in her and she now performs at a level that she should have stock with the almost 30k MSRP she had when new. Pontiac has lost there love afair with true real world performance

  Im Broke - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Delrone - October 8 - 6:00 pm

  This car was good until 85k miles. I understand things need to be changed and replaced with a high mileage car like brakes oil filters fluids etc. My costs of repairs have been doubling since my 4th year of ownership. Transmission @120k 3 Master cylinders, brake lines twice, 3 EGR valves, ball joints, Emmisions problems like crazy, carbon build up on the gas pedal, sending unit replaced, electrical grounds rotting off, electrical switches failed early at 40k miles, rusting early 50k miles(once a week washing with a professional detail twice a year)hub assymbly at 83kmiles, wind sheild washer fluid rarely works in cold weather, door seals and locks freeze, thermostat replaced at 130k.

  3.8 V6 solid as a rock - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Arrowhead - September 14 - 4:23 pm

  Having been raised in a Pontiac family, I have owned more Oldsmobiles and Buicks. Bought this car for a reasonable price back in 05 with a GM certified warranty. This car has needed periodic maintenance per the owners manual of which absolutely no one follows. Doing the correct fluid flushs on time, the filters, injection cleaning, wires, plugs, brakes, tires. Its motor is bullet proof. I plan on keeping this car another 3 or 4 more years and I can most certainly expect with normal on time maintenance, it will perform as desired. It hauls quickly o-60, it handles incredible, has plenty of room. Some cheap interior stuff, but it just can be overlooked with its looks and reliability.

  My Pontiac - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Shabang - August 8 - 2:00 am

  This has been a dependable and fun to drive car. The standard 3.1 - 175HP is a strong motor with good pickup. I didnt have any problems with the car until 62,000 when the transmission went. It cost $2650 to replace. It was out of warranty but luckily it was a company car and they payed the bill. I purchased the car from the company and my wife is driving it now. We recently replace an EGR valve for $175 but had no other problems. I would recommend the car even though it had the transmission issue.

  disappointed - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Fishes - August 2 - 2:00 am

  Ill start by saying that Ive always liked Pontiacs. My wife and I have owned 6 between us. I put 200,000 mi on an 86 Firebird. This is our second Grand Prix. Loved the first, the second became completly unreliable at 38,000 mi, when the transmission suffered a catostrophic failure. Being out of warranty, we paid our mechanic $2000 to rebuild it. Pontiac will not help with this cost because we used our own mechanic not theirs. To make this worse, our mechanic has not been able to solve all the issues with the transmission. Even after replacing it. 6 months and counting.
