  Lots of power and style - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By bw626 - May 7 - 8:40 pm

  We had a GTP 4dr with the supercharged V6. It had all the options. Bought it used with 100000 miles and didnt have a thing go wrong with it. I only had to do routine maintenace, get new brakes, and a align it. The ride was good and the interior was appealing. These are great, stylish cars.

  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.

  BAD ENGINE! - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By tears0fash666 - February 5 - 10:11 am

  First I owned the car for a month, had to replace the engine because oil wasnt going to one of the rods. Now, 2 years later, its sitting waiting to be sold for the same problem. Had about 100,000 on both engines. Had it in the shop all the time, it was never the easy things that were wrong either. I would not buy this car again.

  Flamer - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By DRJ - January 13 - 1:40 pm

  Performance and gutsy sound from dual exhausts is sports car like yet is a family sedan. Impressed with 30 mpg on highway under 72 mph. Great exterior design. Had to upgrade the tires and stereo dvd player. Very visible orangish red color has helped accident avoidance.

  Beware of Repairs - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By WSG - November 24 - 1:53 pm

  List of problems: EGR value replaced at 40k miles ($410), multi-function switch replaced (for faulty wiper blades) at 43k miles ($530), replaced brake rotors at 44k miles ($300), new catalytic converter and transmission at 53k miles ($4,900). Sorry to say, this has just not been a reliable car at all.

  Shouldve bought the Nissan - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Fog - November 6 - 2:00 am

  Ive had pretty good luck with the car up until 2003. If you are looking for something that will last a long time I would suggest buying something else. I hit the 50 thousand mark and I am selling it. The gas pedal sticks and the ABS light comes on quite frequently. The dealer says its nothing. Had the brakes fixed and they still grind and the ABS light still comes on. Resale value is terrible...everyone has a Grand Prix.

  piece of junk - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By jztoronto - July 24 - 1:01 am

  typical pontiac-looks great but the build quality is a joke. there should have been a recall on the rear window reg so we can raise and lower the window like a normal car. if you leave the problem eventually the window will fall out of the bracket and as you drive the window will roll down on its own not fun when its raining and you are on the highway. wipers are a joke never had a car with so many wiper issues. be prepared to replace bearings every two years and the abs light on ever car in america is on in this car. leaks oil, and the tranny is not a good design. radio light burned out, fuel reg is $500

  Coolest Car Ive Ever Driven - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Happy Happy Happy - June 1 - 11:46 am

  Ive owned a Jaguar and a BMW and this is still a far better car. It has timeless styling and the dashboard isnt boring at all. I bought it four years old and have only done routine maintenance and replaced the brakes. It is a great car. Mine is a black GTP. The supercharged 3800 is excellent, powerful, and still gets great mileage. Buy one if you have the chance, but I would only go for the GTP.

  Watch out for the catalytic conv!!!! - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Stan the man - May 26 - 5:23 am

  I bought this brand new when 0% first came out. Good car overall. Luckily, I have escaped the tranny problems so far, well see. All you owners out there, BEWARE. The catalytic converter on these, the GTs, and the GTPs are bad. There IS a warranty to 80,000 miles on the SE, and they raised it to 120,000 for the others. I have an SE. Got it fixed at 79,600 miles, didnt even know about the warranty. sweet! Oh, by the way. This thing cost 21 grand new, and is now worth 5. Can you say "Honda" from now on!!!!!!
