I bought the car used April of 2003. It was a GM Certified vehicle. The first thing that I noticed was wrong with the car that the trunk leaked on the right-hand side and to this day it still does. The second thing that happened was the ignition coils went. I have replaced 2 as of now. Then a couple of weeks went by and I had to replace spark plug wires and clean the fuel injectors due to the car running rough. This car only likes the premium gas in it I have been told. Now my latest is that my key less entry doesn't work properly. It will unlock, but not lock the car. I also have been told that I have a leak in my intake manifold. I love the design of the car, but it has been a money pit to me now. I have just under 60,000 miles on it and I wait to see what will go wrong next. I am scared to drive it long distances for I have been stuck twice because it has broken down. My husband is on his second Grand Prix and no problems. My best friend had a Grand Am and started having problems at 30,000 miles and now has traded it in for a Grand Prix. I believe I will go back to buying a Honda. I would not recommend this car to anybody at this time.
The design is great. I love the red with my tan leather interior.
I was told by the dealer that the car should only be run on regular gas not premium.
I'm sure that if you keep up with the maintenance of the car you would run into any mechanical problems I've had my gt for over 1 year and I've had to replace things that break down as time goes along, but nothing major.
