2003 Pontiac Grand Prix GT2 review from North America
"Too many problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical wiring for rear bulbs needed replacement when I drove off the dealer lot.
Rear windshield needed replacement as radio became fuzzy when turning on the rear defroster this was first discovered when winter came and I bought it in the summer.
Interior plastic piece where the keys hit fell off.
Interior plastic for the door handle on front passenger side fell off.
Big spaces in trim on the outside on the rear passenger side doors.
Steering wheel wines like crazy due to insufficient power steerinf fluid levels from factory.
Magnasteer needed replacement due to "clicking" of hte wheel at 53000km..
Now it's starting to go again at 70,000 km.
AC Compressor blew at 67,000km together with Battery failure.
General comments?
I bought the car due to the incredible leg room in the vehicle and the nice styling. I know previous grand prix owners who loved their car.
I was incredibly disappointed with the built quality of the vehicle.
I am also disappointed in the lack of headroom. I have less than 1cm of head space when sitting upright and I don't have a tall torso (my height is in my legs)
Interior room especially for the rear is poor due to the aggressively sloped rear windshield.
You can definitely feel the road through the steering wheel and it's a very nice drive otherwise. I like the sporty feel of the vehicle.
