Pros: A lean, mean, road hugging machine
Cons: None yet
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a fun-to-drive, super reliable, comfortable mid-priced vehicle, may I highly recommend a Grand Prix SE?
After months of searching on dozens of lots around Phoenix, I finally purchased a "new to me" Grand Prix SE. This is my second GP, the first one being a used model as well. Actually, the 2000 model replaces the 1991 for me, but the old gal is going to...

Pros: smooth, quiet drive
Cons: lots of little annoyances
I just returned from a 3-day, 900 mile business road trip. Instead of driving my personal car, we decided that it would be cheaper and less risky to just rent a car. The mileage would have been ~$300, while rental was just over $150. And while I've...

Pros: Fast, quiet ride, coolest technology and nice to look at
Cons: Loose fit and finish in, miserable service at dealers
Man, that car looks good!
As I signed the paperwork I had the horrible feeling I was making a mistake. It's too expensive, I should wait until I can put more down, I can get another winter out of the Grand AM, it's only 8. But I signed anyway.

Pros: Fabulous supercharged engine!!!, sharp looking, clutchless shift feature, PRICE!!!!
Cons: Front wheel drive only, climate controls a bit confusing
I have been wanting to drive the Grand Prixs ever since they came out, new in 97, and especially have had my eye on the GTP, as it's top of the line, and I LOVE top of the line. So when I had the opportunity to slide inside one, I took it.

Pros: power, handling, interior comfort
Cons: small rear-view mirror and glove-box, premium gas required
The Bottom Line: I'd highly recommend a GTP to anyone that craves sports car feel but needs four doors.
I just bought a 2000 Grand Prix GTP sedan. I have always preferred sports cars, but as a family man I need to be able to use a car seat, so a 4 door was necessary. The GTP sedan was the answer to my prayers! It was a real pain finding one without...

Pros: Sporty Looks. Lots of Nice Little Touches. Good Gas Mileage
Cons: Gearshift Indicator. Some Other Little Things.
I have just returned from a week-long business trip to Maryland. During that time, my rental car for this period was a 2000 Pontiac Gran Prix GT sedan. My car was dark green metallic with a charcoal cloth interior and alloy wheels. It was powered by the...

Pros: Comfortable seats, decent power and handling
Cons: Low ride height
The Grand Prix SE was a just car I rented for a 800 mile business trip. I have been disappointed with my previous experiences with GM sedans (1990 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan and 1998 Chevy Malibu). The Grand Prix was a pleasant surprise.

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: FAST, powerful, fun engine. Great sporty looks. Roomy interior.
Cons: Cheap leather seats, front wheel drive, head room reduces as seat is brought forward.
The Bottom Line: If you want a fast, fun, comfy, sporty looking car, get this. At the price it's at, Pontiac is giving it away.
I had been eyeing the Grand Prix GTP since Pontiac redid it in 1997. Mostly the GTP is what caught my attention. Supercharged V6 that puts out 245 ponies and it was four door, yes sir! I couldn't think of one car that had four doors and had this kind...

Pros: strong 3.8L V6 engine, nimble handling, good option packages
Cons: low quality interior, limited headroom
The Bottom Line: The Grand Prix makes driving a four door family car fun!
Back in September of 2000, my wife and I purchased a 2000 Grand Prix GT. Our car came with option package 1SC, sunroof and a few other misc options that racked up a MSRP of $24,550. The car was purchased at the end of the model year when a $2000 cash...

Pros: Looks, power, handling
Cons: Gas mileage
All our kids are grown now so it was time to trade in the minivan. We wanted something sporty, but able to seat 4 or 5 comfortably. We also needed to be able to get the grandkids in and out of their carseats and the car easily.
My husband...

Pros: Beautiful, handles well
Cons: Auto systems not easily overrideable
I owned a 1994 Grand Prix that I purchased new in Fall 1993. When my son turned 16 and needed a car to get to school, work and sports. It made more sense to buy me a new car and pass my 94 Grand Prix to him then to purchase a used car for him that we...

Pros: Awesome Looking car, Handles great, grabs lots of Attn
Cons: only one that I've noticed so far is when it's cold & you start the car & go for a Drive the Supercharger seems to make a bit of a noise until it warms up.
This is one of the best cars I've ever owned, & why did I buy this car, well 1st off I was in the Market for a new TransAM but my only problem with that was, insureance, it costs too much when your only 23 and you automaticly get put on high risk....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good Value, Roomy, Adequate power and handling
Cons: Ergonomics, Cheap Interior
The Bottom Line: An excellent choice for people looking for a sedan on a budget.
Of the GM car lines, Pontiac’s identity is “performance”. The company’s slogan for the last few years has been “we build excitement”. Is this a legitimate claim, or just marketing talk? The Grand Prix is their bread and butter sports sedan/coupe. I...

Pros: Power, comfort, style
Cons: Below standard suspension, lack of cosmetic options
In a world where most cars are starting to look and act the same, there is only one that does something just a little different. The end result is massive. Either i am too old for my own good, or I am just too horsepower hungry. What lured me to the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Unrivaled power and performance in its class
Cons: Yes, I'm greedy I would like perhaps maybe 10-15 more horsepower out of the 3.1 liter model
What can I say about my 2000 Grand Prix other than I love it. I have an SE model for which I pay about $250 a month for a 15,000 mile/year lease. The 3.1 liter engine is just enough to roast the tires every once in a while, but not too much so that I...
