  One of the BEST car on the road today! - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Pontiac GrandPrix - June 14 - 10:20 am

  After totaling my 2003 Ford Explorer Limited V8 I was looking for a family sized sedan that was good on gas considering that I spent $120.00 on gas a week on my Explorer. When I first saw the grandprix I absolutely loved it. The aggressive front end, flared fenders, and its aggressive stance. I purchased it with 125,000 miles and it drove like it had 25,000 miles on it. Performance is on point, handling is precise, BUT fuel economy was extremely poor. I spent almost the same amount of money on gas as i did with my Explorer. I realize that the vehicle saves gas with 89 and above fuel grade than the lower grade 87. It even improved the performance. Overall this is the best car i ever had!

  Nice car - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By PGPS - June 1 - 2:00 am

  So far this car has been great to me, I bought it 9 months ago and it was nice to me. The acceleration is really good for a heavy sedan, the handling is excellent, its very spacious inside. I have 17 inch wheels on it so the ride isnt that smooth but a lot smother than other cars with 13 or 14 inch wheels. The sound system is awsome. I like the six speaker CD player and even on noisy radio stations it plays clear. So overall the car is awsome I had no problems with at all except change the oil and filter. What I dont like about this car is the where the cup holders are located, its hard to swith gears when its open, other than that its a very nice car.

  Typical car - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By OK - May 15 - 10:43 pm

  I bought my GTP in January 2003 as my "dream car". Before that I had a 1997 Intrepid with the 3.5 engine. This car is much more exciting in both the exterior and interior with the excellent bose sound system and HUD, etc. The performance was good, but not that much better than my intrepid. The transmission does not shift nearly as smoothly as the Intrepid, it feels like you are "beating" on it no matter how careful you are. I had the tranny checked out by two different shops and they both say its OK. So no big deal. I had a wheel bearing go out at about 40k miles. My windshield washer pump went out at 60k. Had the belts and thermostat replaced. Nothing major. Overall Im pretty satisfied.

  Has all the features that I wanted in a larger size car. Has great pick-up and leg room (Im taller and drivers side leg room in many cars leave a lot to be desired).

  Im hooked. But not Sold!! - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Mak - March 25 - 10:00 am

  I rent the GrandPrix just about every other weekend. I love this car. It is fun to drive and has fabulous acceleration. I would love to buy one. However, tend to keep a car for more than 5 years and Ponitacs reliability is unproven. (read professional reviews as well as these) I do not trust the cars alternator, starter, or power train (transmission). I would definately recommend renting one and possibily leasing one for 2 years or less. If you buy get rid of this car at the 2 to 3 year mark, let somebody else be the case study for Ponitac. As soon as a see many 8 to 10 year old Grand Prixs driving around I might buy one.

  Great Car - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By RavenZ71 - October 21 - 4:46 am

  This is a great car. I recommend it highly! I bought mine about a year ago and since then Ive been really happy with it. Unreal pickup for this "Old Person Car!" (Im 23 yrs. old.) It sounds amazing too. Its got the Eaton Supercharger stock on it, which provides your pickup with that "jet plane" sound when the rpms are racing.

  1 owner @ 100k mi. - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Roadrasher - October 11 - 10:00 am

  The Supercharged 3.8 Series II engine is very reliable. 100,000 miles and the engine is flawless, but the rest of the car started falling apart. The Supercharger is not a serviceable item, so when the bearing goes out you have to replace the whole thing ($600 rebuild w/ installation). Both front wheel- bearings needed replacing. Power- steering pump went out. All within 10,000 miles of 100k. The car is definitely worth keeping and repairing. The GTP is the only way to go. If you are considering a Grand Prix, only get one w/ a Supercharger (20% more horsepower than the GT, and it shows). Before buying one, listen to the supercharger, if you hear a grind, get it replaced.
