Pros: Sporty Good Looks With Good Power, Heads Up Display is a Life Saver
Cons: Automatic Headlamps, Power Windows
The Bottom Line: Great used car, more than adequate power for passing, lots of room, if you're looking for a used car this is my recommendation.
I use to own a 2000 Maxima SE, after buying my house I had to choose between the house or the car. The house won. I sold my Maxima and looked for a good used car. I had always liked the looks of the Grand Prix and decided to check them out. After...

Pros: Sleek design, roomy interior.

After reading all the rave reviews, and checking all of the websites, I was sure that the Pontiac Grand Prix was a sound investment. I looked at all the comparable models, read all the rave reviews, and was excited about owning a piece of fine American...

Pros: Great looking car for the family, but still sporty to have fun in
Cons: It is a bit high priced, but if you can afford it, GREAT!
After learning of my pregnancy in August of 1998, I knew I was going to need a 4 door "family" car. But the boring Grandma looking 4 door cars out there just were not Me. Just because I have a child, doesn't mean I still dont want a sporty car....

Pros: power, handling, features
Cons: headlight assemblies keep falling off
My husband has always owned sports cars - Firebird, Trans Am G.T.A., etc..., but when we had our first child - they had to go. Most sport cars are too small for children in the back seat and don't have the safety features that your average minivan...

Pros: Wide-Track design for safety.
Cons: Low-sitting back seats.
I purchased this car in 1997 because I was in the mood for a sporty, yet classy car. The new design on the Grand Prix is very sporty and should be in a class of its own. I bought the 4 door sedan (SE) model to add a little style to a sports car.

I bought a used '97 Grand Prix, SE, 3.8, in the spring of '99. I came away from the dealership with a sporty, yet sensible, car for a very good price! ($12,000) I am very impressed with the appearance, and mechanics of this car. It has plenty of...

Pros: Fast, sporty, wider IS better
Cons: Price, gas mileage
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix because it's fast, sporty, safe, and most of all FUN!
I always wanted a Grand Prix, so when the opportunity to purchase this 1997 Grand Prix GTP presented itself, I had to jump! It was a lease trade-in so the prior owners had taken really good care of it. There are so many things I love about this car....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Nice looks, super handling, lots of car for the money
Cons: Many small problems and bugs during this first year of the "Widetrack" design
The Bottom Line: Pontiac Grand Prixs are awesome cars, but I'd stay clear of the 1997 models.
First off I must state that I absolutely love Pontiac Grand Prixs. I bought my first, a 93 Grand Prix SE, dirt cheap and loved that car to death. When used 1997 "Widetrack" Grand Prixs stating hitting the streets as program cars in 1998, I jumped at the...

Pros: Heads Up Display,Anti - Lock Brakes, Wider Track, GTP
Cons: Passenger seat does not have the same creature comforts as driver.ie- not heated, no lumbar adjustments
That's right it's a "Hottie"! This is my third Grand Prix and the absolute best by far. Now that I've had the heads up display feature it will be hard to live with out it in the future. The ABS system and the wider track sure make a difference...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nice-looking, roomy, fast, safe
Cons: Maintenance, city gas mileage
The Bottom Line: I would not hesitate to recommend this car - provided you know that maintenance might be in the future. It's a nice-looking, sporty sedan.
The 1997 Grand Prix is the first year of this style GP. It’s a pretty decent overall car, with plenty of power and good looks, but mine didn’t last forever. I really liked this car when I first got it. I had the GTP version, which came with a 3.8L ...
