  • A lot of Mechanical Problems - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I have had this car for going on four years. My driver side motor window went out, I have had to replace the timing belt, ball joints, get a new radiator, replace my entire power steering, heater coil, rocking pena (however thatÂ’s spelled), not to mention typical ware and tare on the car such as brakes (which I expect to pay for). I couldnt believe it because I take really good care of that car. I had a Pontiac before this and experienced the same problems. I will never by a GM product again. It is a very nice car, but mechanically it has costs me thousands. My entire family buys Pontiacs, but after two experiences like this in a row- it behooves us to purchase these vehicles.

  • Dependable and fun to drive - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    My GP has treated me well. No engine problems after 4 years and 60k. However, my fuel economy is nowhere near what some other people are saying. For purely around town driving, it gets around 16. However, highway-only fuel economy is excellent at 30. Car handles well with plenty of power. Some of the interior components are cheap. Like some others, the door panels have started to get loose, and power windows seem to be slowing down a lot now. Seats could be a little more supportive for a long drive. Overall though, it has been a positive driving experience and the car has gotten me through many snowstorms safely.

  • Best preloved car I ever bought - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I bought my 2000 GTP with 96000 miles on it. It was a one owner in mint condition. the previous owner had to put a transmission in at 77,000 miles, but had no other issues. Apparently, there was a problem with some of the trannys in these cars. Replacing the battery is a real bear. Dash rattles a bit over bumps. I am watching a possible leaky valve cover gasket. Aside from that, this car rocks. Performance, fuel economy and looks are all outstanding. I lucked out and found this model with every single feature offered. It was a $29,000 car in 2000. Added Mobil 1 to the engine and trans and, a K&N filter and am now experiencing 30 mpg on the highway.

  • over 100,000 miles, no problems... yet - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

    This car is THE best bang for the buck on the market today. Tight handleing for a 4-door 3500lb. car and the 240HP motor is always there when needed. The transmission is smooth and shifts crisply. The only complaints are the cupholders which suck. theyre too shallow and right where id like to rest my right arm, also, the suspention seems a little stiff sometimes on the pothole ridden streets of the northeast. other than that I have no complaints. Anyone looking for a fast 4-door that looks and drives great should check this car out. By the way, perfect tourque band for stoplight to stoplight races ;-)

    Its vechile handles like a sports car. With the upgraded engine it response like a dream. My pervious car was a small cavailer. But this out handles and moves so much better.

    I use this vehicle to commute to work approximately 100 miles per day. I also use it as an emergency response vehicle(full siren and lights). It corners nicely at higher speeds and cruises nicely at higher speeds. The vehicle handles well in crosswinds and when overtaking slower traffic has a good throttle response.

  • Great car, but some defects. - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    So far, I really enjoy my Grand Prix. The GT with the 200 hp engine has the power I was looking for. One thing does irritate me though. When I hit small bumps in the road at about 25-30 mph, the sound of heavy plastic comes from the front of the car. But overall, I really enjoy this car. I have not had any problems.

  • Deceptively reliable--a handsome highway cockroach - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    So this is the first, and thus far, only car Ive owned for my 3 years of driving. Im the 6th owner, and it was passed down from my dad at 130k miles. Its now at 210k miles, and I can say with pride that this car has never failed me. Aside from when the battery was dead (the battery was 12 years old at the time and an easy jump got me goin), it starts every morning as I begin my commute. Whether its the usual 30, the frequent 100, or the occasional 1000 miles, its always ready to go. Most of my maintenance has been regular, with a few big replacements such as the axles and brakes. The transmission and the engine still feel fantastic, despite the dust and age.

  • All Around Awesome - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

    I owned an eclipse before this, and I was always being smoked because it looked fast, but wasnt. Now that I have my Grand Prix, people have no clue what its capable of and Ive yet to lose a race. My Grand Prix has 66,000 miles on it and it drives like it is new. The engine has been said to have over 200,000 miles and still run strong! This car couldnt get much better!

  • Great Car - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Great car, the only problem that I had with it was the sending unit for the check antifreeze light
