Surprisingly fun - 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Toyota Boy - December 27 - 3:20 pmI rented this car for a week on Maui and was pleasantly surprised. Ive always liked the looks of the Grand Prix, and after sitting behind the wheel I really began to dig it. It took a little getting used to the layout of the cabin but once I did, I found myself loving the feel of the car. Smooth power, great in the twisties (driving up& down the switchbacks to the Haleakala crater at 10,000 ft). The interior feels a little cheap but Id only place it a little below the 08 Camry. Overall, Id say this is a fun car for a good price and definitely worth a look if youre in the market for a sedan.

Stand back overpriced/overrated Euros - 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Ken Hansen - October 22 - 5:50 amA dream and a hoot to drive!!! Beautiful erogonomic interior...all dials and switches easy to use and read...fabulous acceleration and gas mileage....zippo maintenance...and I dont have to carry a mechanic with me or pay for his trips to Germany or Japan every few months....the GM sleeping giant has awakened...big time. Here is a fairly priced car that does it all! And yeah, its American!

Grand prix 2008 6-banger - 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix
By mondo - July 2 - 1:03 pmThis car is very fun, I think people driving next to you dont expect this car to perform as it does (it is a sedan). Ive owned many nice cars and todays economy has forced me to buy under 20,000. For the money this car is perfect for average sized people, small families can benefit greatly. I cant believe the gas mileage! It rides like a silent hotrod if you will, but cost very minimal to operate. Say what you want about the fancy technology inside, get extended warranty. The power train warranty is piece of mind enough. Would recommend this car to anybody!

GXP Grand prix - 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix
By John Wilson - August 28 - 3:33 pmLove this car! Fun Fun and more fun! But I like to just cruise and take in easy in the most wonderful (and great looking) sport seats! Great sound system. Reviewers bad rap this auto, how it looks ( body). Trust me people still look at it all the time. Still loved by the common folk!

Will miss the Grand Prix, get one if you can - 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix
By bobr15 - August 3 - 11:53 pmBought my 2008 GXP used from a MA dealer who bought it at rental auction at 12k miles in June 08 (was a former Alamo rental). Excellent car, but burned through brakes like crazy. After replacing front brakes with rotors at about 18k, needed all brakes/rotors again at 25k. Some light arm twisting at the local dealer and GM rep agreed to a whole new set of rotors/pads front and back. Still holding at 37k though theres a lot of brake dust on the front wheels. Smoking, fast car. Even better than the 2000 Grand Prix GTP turbo I drove for 8 years prior. Too bad, its the end of an era.

Wow!! - 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Amy - December 11 - 2:03 amI bought my Grand Prix 08, last year. My husband took me to a place right off base. And i saw a beautiful white/pearl car staring at me! we have a daughter who is turning 3..and let me tell you.
the car is sooo smooth! everyone who gets in,..their first word is (WoW) this is a smooth car! plus its big enough for a family..yet compact enough to be sporty! my husband loves my car! and my favorite feature is when you first get in, every single detail curves around the driver! I would say, its made to fit you!! Not to mention, in these economic times, we get about 19/24mpg yet its cheaper then the camry and the malibu! -
Favorite Car - 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix
By mike_ike - July 13 - 1:44 pmI am writing this review on a 2008 Pontiac Grand Am that I own. I have owned this car for about two years and have only one bad thing to say about the car but other than that the car has been a great fit for me. I have owned the car for about five years. It has great gas mileage, great horsepower, it has needed only minimal repairs, and the only thing bad thing about it has been an issue with the ignition but that has been fixed. This is my first Pontiac I have bought and I donÂt regret the decision one bit. Every day I have to commute about 20 miles to work, so most of the miles I have put on my car are highway miles. My Pontiac gets around 30 miles per gallon on the highway.
