2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America

I bought the car Oct. of 06. I've wanted a grand prix like this ever since Pontiac came out with this body style back in 1997. Its 2 door, midnight blue, with leather and sunroof and all that good stuff.. now the bad...

In Dec. of 06 with only 60,734 miles on it the upper intake manifold, fuel pump, idle air control valve, and catalytic converter all needed replaced. when I took the car to the dealer ship they actually had to push the car into the garage cause it would not start it all!

Then in Sept. of 07 with 76,344 miles the passenger front speed sensor wiring harness needed replaced, this was making my low trac light come on whenever I reversed and when I went forward the ABS and trac off light would come on. Also the Left front and rear bearing and hub assemblies also needed replaced.

Then in Oct. of 07 after driving the car for even just a short period of time it would start to make a loud wining noise and jerk every time the transmission would shift - wouldn't matter how fast or slow or what gear it was going into you knew when it shifted. Come to find out the transmission valve body, pressure control solenoid, & torque converter needed to be replaced and that was at 77,066 miles.

Its now barley 2 months later and the car is starting to do the wining and hard shifting again and it has just a little over 80,000 miles on it & of course my extended warranty is voided cause I went over on miles.

Well I do have to say I love the way the car looks. the midnight blue with tinted windows and a chrome Pontiac decal across the front windshield makes the car look really sharp, especially when its just been washed. the car turns heads and I get complements on it all the time. performance wise id have to say I'm satisfied. the interior of the car is very comfortable all though makes it harder for some people to get out of the back because the car sits so low. but I do have to say set aside the problems it's a very good car and I don't regret buying it. like I said in my survey about my 98 Cadillac Catera, your gonna have problems with any car and some more than others...
