2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"A bit pricey, but a nice, gutsy sport sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Head-up Display faded sporadically after 2 years (35,000 miles) and had to be replaced.
Headlight modules collected condensation and require periodic drying.
Interior plastic trim has annoying rattle.
General comments?
The cabin and seats are comfortable on long trips. I am 6'4", my son is 6'2", and we have made 8 hour trips comfortably.
The supercharged 3.8 liter engine makes the car a joy to drive.
Wind noise is distracting, and is heard through all doors and windows.
The Bose sound system is really nice for listening to all types of music.
Standard suspension on this car is not good. There is considerable body roll in turns and hard impact on the shock stops even on interstate highway "dips".
