2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America

"Makes my commute a pleasure"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

All of the problems I have had were there when I bought the car. The dealer will be fixing most of them under warranty as soon as I can get the car in for service.

One of the door logos is wrong. It's the Grand Prix GT logo instead of GTP.

There is some rust on the wheels, but not on any of the polished areas.

The heads-up display is about 3 MPH slower than the dashboard speedometer.

The cover on the On-Star compartment in the trunk comes off very easily.

Air conditioner takes a long time to cool the car down. When the AC is running at full strength, there is a significant decrease in engine power. More so than in any other car I've driven.

General comments?

I have a 60 minute commute through heavy traffic every day and this car makes it almost enjoyable. The power and agility make it handle any driving condition with ease. Thanks to the acceleration, I live for highway on-ramps.

The HUD is a really nice touch that always gets a good reaction from my friends.

The Bose speakers are amazing. I don't think I'll ever buy another brand of audio equipment.

The interior layout takes a little getting used to, but it's very comfortable. At night all the instrument lights are red, which is really cool.

My biggest complaint is the gas mileage. The fact that the supercharger requires premium gas makes it even worse. Although, I gladly pay for it because of the extra performance.

I debated long and hard over whether or not to get the GTP over the GT because of the expense. In the end, though, I'm glad I picked the GTP. It was well worth the extra money. I'll probably never buy a car with a small engine again.
