    I own a red 2001 Grand Prix GT. I have also owned a 1998 white Grand Prix GTP and a 1988 Grand Prix. My experience with these cars is exceptional. My 1988 Grand Prix did have some trouble with quitting when pulling out into traffic but this problem was corrected in my later models. These cars are fun to drive yet practical on gas mileage. There exterior is sleek and sporty. I have one child and there was plenty of room for the car seat, toys, groceries, etc. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who likes to drive.

  • GTP is an AWESOME Car! - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix

    The performance, comfort, feel, and reliablity of this vehicle is unmatched. Blows the doors off any imports out there in body design and power, and still maintains a reasonable gas mileage to coincide.

  • JWs Loaded 2DR 2001 GP GTP - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    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.

  • A good Solid Car - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix

    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!

    30 miles per gallon if you stay out of the supercharger on the interstates. great car so far on dependability.

  • Owned it since new - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    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 -

    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!

  • Miss the old grandpix - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Love the smooth and quite ride. Its was so quite i accidently tried to restart it a few times oops! My bad. but it never hurt the starter. I really miss the car and may get another after seeing one on the road today. I bought mine brand new in 2001 and replaced it in 2007 to buy my daughter a used car. She liked it and learned to drive in it but wanted something smaller. when i got rid off it i racked up 160,000. mostly highway miles to and from work. the only problem i ever had was one power window motor which i fixed myself.Never had to do a timing belt because it was chain driven and never had to replace any CV joints or driveshafts. Just normal wear and tear items.
