2002 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America

Glove box light switch stopped working, was replaced free, even not under warranty- excelent dealer service.

Some minor squeaks and rattles start at 30,000 miles, but then disappear around 50,000 miles.

If you keep good tires on it (I use aquatred 3 tires) it will handle predictably, but unfortunately with a ton of under-steer. The understeer can be a problem since just letting off the throttle does not allow the car to correct; you must smoothly apply the breaks to get the car to correct.

I have run the recommended maintenance schedule, and have had no problems with the engine, transmission, door locks, windows, or anything other than the glove box light switch failure.

I would prefer the supercharged GTP, since when driving this car into high altitude areas of the country, it seriously lacks performance (on Ute Pass in Colorado Springs it had to downshift into second gear almost on every corner)

Passing from 60 MPH is a dream below 4,000 ft; once above 4,000 ft there is some lack of performance; if you get this above 8,000 ft there is a complete loss of passing power, requiring more than 1,500 ft to pass even the smallest of vehicles.
