2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"Practical 4 dor sedan, with a beast under the hood"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stock stereo cannot be replaced currently because of the way it's wired into all the other electronics.
Rear driver side seat "crackles" when pushed, dealer said paper was left under THE leather when it was installed.
General comments?
I have been wanting this car for 4 years and am extremely happy.
The extra horsepower in the GTP is well worth the few extra grand for it, if you don't mind putting in Premium Gas.
Mine came from the dealer with Sunroof, Bose Speaker upgrade, AND 5 spoke upgraded wheels.
Going from a Honda Civic to this beast is awesome, the getup from a stop is incredible. Great passing power also.
Handles incredibly well.
Bose speaker upgrade is a MUST. Especially since replacing the stock deck is giving me such a headache. Speaker upgrade includes a power-amp also.
If you are a left handed driver and tend to lean over the center console while driving, the HUD is kind of hard to see. There are adjustments for Up and Down on it, but no left to right.
The leather seats look very sharp. Seats are very comfortable, plenty of room for me (6'3" 220lbs).
All in all, I couldn't be happier (with the exception of the stereo).
