  • Love this car! - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Ive had this car for a month and I absolutely love it! I bought it with 28k on it so its practically brand new. I was really hesitent to get a car this big but Im so happy I did. I went from having a 4 cylinder to a 6 so Im not used to the gas mileage yet but it doesnt seem to be using that much. The car looks awesome and is so fun to drive! Im hoping to have this car for a long long time.

    This is a great car. It starts everyday and runs perfect. The Heads up display sometimes becomes faint in cold weather. The tire wear is very good. The performance is great for a car of this size. The car performs well in wet or snow conditions. The braking is very good on the car. The inside is very comfortable and spacious. The inside carpet is wearing very fast. The seats look and feel like new. The mileage hasnt changed since day one 20-28 depending on traffic. Overall I think this is a great car for the dollar.

    I have just purchased this car about 3 months ago. After these 3 months I have found the Grand Prix very exilerating and enjoyable to drive. While it is also very flashy and a powerful car with a great build and excellent fuel efficiency!

  • Good car, but little things go bad - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This is a stylish car with good pick up and decent room inside and in the trunk. My only gripe with the car is the power window motors have gone bad on two different windows four times total, the time display in the radio went bad, and the sunroof cover broke. If not for little things like this going bad, the car has been great. Good pickup and about 18-20 MPG for the most part. No problems with the engine or transmission after 74K miles...

  • Been good since 140K - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Great car. Ive owned for a couple years and havent had too many issues. Currently at 181K miles and I may need some new belts, but other than that, the engine is a haus. Feels like I couldnt do anything other than crash it to stop this thing from running. Best car for the money if you dont mind riding in a pontiac. Took it on a 3k roadtrip in the 170K range, and it made it there and back with only a wheel bearing that needed replaced. Regular problems/maintenance with this car, bearings, brakes (better than most cars), rear windows, some sensor problems, and from my experience and noting others, usually tranny needs to get rebuilt at some point during the life of the car.

  • Hey Its A Pontiac! What Can I Say? - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I ordered this car brand new to my specifications (Special Edition GTP, Navy Blue, Graphite Two-Tone Heated Leather, HUD, Moonroof, I also got an extra set of 3 Spoke Polished Aluminum Rims to go with it) I love this car and will keep it forever!! It has 17K miles (I barely drive it, its my pride and joy!) Its been a great car to me! Very comfortable, enjoyable/head turning, reliable and it looks great doing so!

  • Its a nice car - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Its great! I got everything under the hood squared away. High-mileage runs like a new car though. Cheesy interior. Oh and the pad under the glove box is slightly hanging down. I purchased it that way.

  • Sweet ride - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I just bought this car and totally love it. Great pick up, smooth ride and pretty damn quiet for a pretty big 6. Love all the features,sunroof, power everything and seat warmer to keep me warm in the winter.

  • not too happy - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix

    had to get a new transmission after 65,000 and I dont even drive rough

  • My "Grand" experience - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This car takes abuse like a massochist. It feels like a tank and rides like a magic carpet. Its pretty quiet inside with the windows up, even at ridiculous speeds. The engine is quiet and the stock exhaust sounds pleasant. Gas mileage is not exactly stupendous but its not a compact. Power when accelerating and overall breaking adds to the total driving feel of this sport sedan around turns or navigating through morning traffic. The interior leaves a bit to be desired as far as the appearance. The radio,giant A/C knobs,light switch, and tiny glove box are not only a bit retro but annoying and repulsive to look at.
