  Great Design But Cheap Parts - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Bob M. - February 4 - 3:20 am

  I could not recommend the 2001 Grand Prix. I bought this 2001 Grand Prix Prix GT Special edition after Owning a 1998 Bonneville. I wanted to upgrade to a sportier car, but still needed four doors. I really liked the design and options--it is pretty much loaded but soon experienced many problems. At 35,000 when I bought the car the steering rack had to be replaced. At about 45,000 wheel bearings started to go. Three so far. Along with both front coil springs breaking--one of them twice(GM parts),tie rods, etc. I don`t mind replacing brakes (even those wear out too fast) and normal wear parts, but these other parts should not wear out so fast. The car always starts and the handling is fine.

  JWs Loaded 2DR 2001 GP GTP - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By JW 01 GP GTP - January 22 - 4:20 am

  Purchased the car from a Pontiac Mechanic.Him and his wife loved the car,but wanted an SS.Bought the car with 7,500 miles on it. It was in PERFECT condition, not even a scratch.It was their baby and now its mine. I dont drive it much(company SUV).Ive owned it for 2 1/2yrs and put 23,500 miles on it.The looks of the car are OUTSTANDING.It gets many stares and people ask about it.The sound,feel and torque of the engine is awesome.Competitors cant match it. True,the interior looks cheap,but given the performance,style,sound and reliability of the car, its a small price to pay.Only problem Ive had is the sunroof motor went bad.This is a sweet ride.It looks great in my garage or doing 120 mph.

  POJ - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By deanke - December 4 - 2:36 am

  This was the biggest waste of money I have ever seen. I will never by a GM product again. I had to get the intake gasket replaced twice which was over $1200 each time. The headlights, heat, air conditioning, and windows stopped working. It burned anti-freeze and I had to replace blown-out tires 3 times. NEVER buy this car!!

  Love this vehicle:-} - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By RAMS - November 27 - 2:00 am

  Thusfar, the only negative experience I have had are window rattles and the poorly designed trunk webbed gate which rarely holds items in place.

  knock on wood (cant complain) - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By cant complain - November 26 - 5:03 am

  I have seen some of the reviews and have to say that either the only people giving the reviews are people who have had probs or im extremely lucky. Bought my 01 GP SE 2 years ago with almost 28k on it and now have 70k on it. Only prob was computer needed reset while still under warranty, new radio fuse. Ive had no major issues thankfully. I have had some noise occasionally when I start the car which hasnt been figured out but never had a prob starting the car. Gas mileage seems to be getting a little worse with age/more mileage. Piece holding glove box up when opened broke so now it falls out sometimes when opened. Thats it...minor at best. I would suggest this car for sure!

  A good Solid Car - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By twinoklahoma - October 29 - 2:00 am

  We have had this car for nearly 2 years and have had absolutely no problems. We bought it with 30K + and currently have close to 90k+. It still looks, runs and feels new! I owned a Grand AM before this and have gained a new respect and appreciation for Pontiac. This is a Power Sport vehicle that handles wonderfully. I am 65 and always have plenty of room. Just a great Car! If you are thinking of buying this car do it. It is a wonderfully reliable car with style and power!

  Owned it since new - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By John Wakeen - August 25 - 3:26 pm

  I have owned my 2001 Pontiac GTP 4 door sedan since it was new. It has been a very fun car to drive, and I never grew tired of looking at it. Now one has to step up to a Buick to get the Heads Up display which I use all the time. It had a leaky manifold gasket at 74 K miles which I fixed immediately and so far I have not had the bigger problem with a failed head gasket which some of the GM Dex Cool engines have experienced. I have had to replace some wheel bearings in front, steering gear, and other suspension components. I still drive it to work daily and I have had a mechanic offer to buy it. We drove it in the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise this summer. It gots lots of smiles.

  Gotta love the power! - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By angels66 - August 24 - 11:06 pm

  I bought this car in October 2004 and I am loving it! The power is unmatched, but it feels stable. Ive gone through several snowfalls and this car is great! The traction control and ABS work great together. I have the special edition package and it just makes the look of the car even better. I wish I had better fuel economy, but Im willing to trade it for the power!
