2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"Problem free"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced both front wheel bearings, one due to wear, the other because a dragging brake caliper overheated the entire assembly.
Replaced disc brakes all around, and pads a couple times.
Replaced tie rod ends twice.
Replaced catalytic converter.
Replaced thermostat.
General comments?
Fuel economy has been remarkable (30+MPG) on the interstate, and never below 24 even around town.
Needs good tires on the rear or it gets unstable in the rain.
I've done the scheduled maintenance and its rewarded me by needing very few repairs.
