  Not Crazy About The SE Model - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By jackdaniels7070 - December 7 - 6:00 am

  Only owned for 9 or 10 months and the problems are starting to mount. Its only at 200,000 Km. The first week of ownership, the transmission started to kick in between 1st & 2nd gear while accelerating, ($2500 repair) it still continues to be a problem but cannon afford to fix transmission, rather deal with discomfort till I buy something better. Head gasket is on the edge of blowing, just driving a short distance and I can smell the dexcool leaking ($1500 repair) on to the hot engine. Power feels weak in the city, very stiff pedal, must apply a lot of force to accelerate. Bushings in the front are flattened, going around turns makes the car feel like its on ice year round ($1000 repair)

  worth the price - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By harpe00 - October 20 - 11:30 pm

  I was looking for an affordable transitional car and found this to be the perfect match. As an upcoming college graduate and moving into the workforce this summer I needed something reliable, dependable and affordable to make the transition.

  Not so great. - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Ashtyn - February 5 - 8:53 am

  Ive had mine for about 2 years now and have had nothing but problems with it. It did have 89,000 miles on it, but still should not have had that many issues. Ive had to replace the breaks, roaders, some of the wiring and tires since buying it.I currently need to replace a head gasget and have oil leaking into my anti-freeze, which is a repair that is going to cost me a little over a thousand dollars. I was told that most Grand-Prixs start having mechanical problems once they reach about 65,000 miles.

  Cool ride with a few flaws - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By kre57 - December 21 - 2:00 am

  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.

  It gets looks - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By jzone2020 - September 16 - 12:16 pm

  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.

  Not a happy customer - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Chris - July 11 - 2:50 am

  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 Rogue - May 9 - 10:00 am

  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.

  A Review - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By GT Owner - April 16 - 2:30 am

  Has proved to be reliable and comfortable transportation but not the "fun to drive" vehicle I was lead to believe it would be by several automotive reviews.
