    I bought the car brand new with all the available options possible including the Bose sound system. I dont drive the car very far at all but when I do it is pure excitement and I get looks when I am next to another car. When I first had it, I did have seal leak problems and the steering, when very cold outside, seems stiff. Other than this I had good luck with the car. It just turned 7yrs old in February and it looks new, had several offers to buy it from me , including my mechanic.

  • Fun to Drive But. . . . - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

    First 50K this car was a blast! Had a 1997 Mustang V6 before, but traded it in for a family car when my daughter was born. I wanted a more pratical car yet sporty as I had only owed sport coupes (all sticks)before. The GP-GT was the perfect car for me. I chose it over an Accord, Maxima and Camry. However, the last 44K (currently has 94K on it)has been another story. First the transmission (seems like a popular complaint) went out. Unfortunately, didnt have extended warranty. Then a power window, the ABS is malfunctioning causing the brakes to shudder when applied until the ABS turns itself off. I have also gone through 3 "seven year" batteries. Too bad, because the GP-GT is so fun to drive!

  • Great car, Bad transmission - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

    The transmission is the only thing that is bad on this particular vehicle. Everything else gets exceptionally high marks. The transmission failed approximately 6 months ago. I took it into my local dealership and they quoted me $2,500.00 I contacted Pontiac and they told me to send them the information. As of this writing they have yet to respond to my enquiries. Since this happened to me I started Googling this issue and have since found many strings speaking very poorly of these transmissions.

  • Best performance sedan value period. - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

    I love this Pontiac GTP. No car is perfect, this one comes close if you want low cost high performance. Stock, the GTP run hard. With small changes like a reduced diameter supercharger pulley and K&N intake you can run with Z-28s and Mustang Cobras. The GTP is the Grand National of the 90s. Im on my 3rd GTP and I couldnt be happier.

  • I love this car,BUT..... - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

    I have one payment to make on my car and 4 months ago i put a new transmission in it because it of course went out well i am having very bad problems with the transmission again,my keys also lock in the ignition and my RPM revs up by its self...it turns out that the car has electrical problems and the computer in it is having trouble communicating with things in it to make them work properly so i dont know what i have to do yet,it may just be a few electrical wires or the whole electrical system but it is cousing the transmissions to burn up

  • Great ride for great price - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Bought this car new in July of 2000 and have never once regretted it. Problems have included a broken rear map light switch, and thats it!!! Over 50,000 miles and this car still runs like a top. It get 24MPG in combined city highway and makes more than enough power! Great car.

  • So far, very good. - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Runs strong for a non-GTP GranPrix. Some interior build miscues but good paint and great styling. Long drives can be a bit uncomfortable especially in the back seat.

  • Reliable but buggy electronics, and plenty of things to break - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    The 3.8 has a great transmission and engine, decent mpg, great performance, incredibly smooth, fun to drive but comfortable on the highway. Always started for me. I owned it from 90k to 140k. The problem is the electronics around it. Power steering rack leaks, gas gauge bounces around, traction control stops randomly, power windows love to break. Brake cylinders seize, the led on the radio like to dance sometimes. And nothing is $250 or less, everything is at least close to $400 or more to fix. It still works if you can live with the flaws as it is extremely dependable. Home mechanics go for it, but after 120k avoid it like the plague if you cant fix it yourself.
