2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"Best bang for the buck hands down!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the alternator and battery due to the car sitting for six months.
Replaced tail lights because the lens separated from the housing and looked terrible.
Replaced the stereo because it wouldn't illuminate anymore.
General comments?
I absolutely love this car!! With regular maintenance and a little TLC, this car is worth every penny!
I'm almost over 200,000Km, and the engine and transmission are purring like new still. I've put synthetic oil and trans fluid in since day one, and stay on top of all fluids as they are the lifelines of the car's dependability!!
I don't have the supercharger, but I feel that the 3.8L is a great stand alone engine, very dependable and decent power.
The ride quality is still great; I'm still riding the stock suspension?!
Every make and model will have it's lemons, you can't see them coming, but I know that the Grand Prix GT I've been driving has made me a Pontiac fan, and I'd drive another one if mine was ever written off!!
