2002 Pontiac Grand Prix

Pros: Very sporty.  Great paint job.  Many options.  Reliable 3.8 V-6.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: Excellent styling and build quality.  Fun to drive.  Not expensive to fix.  Buy American.

Review: Finally got rid of my wife's 1996 Saab convertible.  What a cash cow.  Everytime that Saab would hick-up, it costs lots of money to fix.  She loved the car more than I.Found a very sporty 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT as a ...

Pros: nearly 30 mpg, fast, handles nice, a fun car

Cons: upper level radio should be better sound

The Bottom Line: The price was right. Have had no problems at all in 6 months of use. It feels brand new with 12,000 miles on it, just needs washer fluid, oil changes

Review: I know a new one is supposed to be released in 04, so this body style is getting a bit old, but the car is still quite a good package. The price is fair, insurance does not kill it, and 0-60 on this supercharged car is great, and I can get 28 mpg on the...

Pros: great car/engine for the money

Cons: the GTP anniversary edition only comes in Cherry (looks purple to me)

The Bottom Line: We like them!

Review: The P must stand for Purple....it looks purple.
Why did they chose that "dark cherry" color for the anniversary edition..YUCK?! But that is just my opinion we love the cars and you may like the color. We had a 97 white Grand Prix GT and loved the...

Pros: Comfortable ride; excellent factory sound system; spacious trunk

Cons: wiper "freeze" a frequent problem with this model

The Bottom Line: Above average comfort--great traveling sedan.

Review: I bought my 2002 Grand Prix new from the dealer and have put about 70,000 miles on it (yes, I drive a lot!). It is basically a reliable car with comfortable seating for five. This is a great car for long trips. The dashboard lights (red/orange glow ...

Pros: Reliable and comfortable car that hasn't had any major problems

Cons: GM's customer service for vehicle's under warranty

The Bottom Line: A great family car that is safe for your whole family.

Review: I purchased my 2002 Grand Prix from a car rental agency. The car had 26,777 miles on it when purcha ...

Pros: Fast, Solid, Great Stereo, Heads up display system.

Cons: Poor Gas mileage

The Bottom Line: A great buy, just make sure it is not beat on (have a mechanic)

Review: I have owned my 2002 Grand Prix GTP 40th anniversary addition since it was brand new. I currently have about 60,000 miles on it, a mix of highway and city driving. The GTP model came with a super charged 240 hp v-6, which is still faster than most cars ...

Pros: Good looks, comfortable ride, relatively good gas mileage.

Cons: Replaced 3 of 4 window regulators, replaced master brake cylinder since purchase

Review: I purchased a used (34,000 miles) private party, new car trade 2002 Grand Prix GT about 18 months ago. I liked the color, looks, ride and price. It was my first return to American cars after years of owning German and Japanese sports cars and sedans. ...

Pros: Looks sportier than GM counterparts, good handling.

Cons: Rental car styling, disgusting dash, less safety equipment than competition, small reliability problems already

The Bottom Line: Still a good car, but definitely showing its age... if you can wait, buy the 2004 Grand Prix. If not, buy something else.

Review: Let's face it: the family sedan car segment isn't known for being the most exciting one. Four doors. Child seats. Clean Wipes. Yuck. So, the question begs: how does a car company claiming it's "driving excitement" factor into this equation? ...

Pros: Front seats, reliability, roominess, decent ride.

Cons: Rear seats, too much cheap plastic, needs a bit more power.

The Bottom Line: If you need a reliable daily driver you won't be bored with, look here. If you want a true sports sedan or are allergic to plastic, look elsewhere.

Review: Have been around and had the opportunities to drive Grand Prix's for several years, my impressions on the most recent, a 2002 Grand Prix GT sedan. Style: I always thought that this body style Grand Prix was one of the better looking cars on the road. ...

Pros: Outward styling, roomy interior/trunk, 6-cyl. power, driver seat fits 200-plus male, light-sensitive headlamps

Cons: power windows, electrical wiring, questionable electrical engineering, stereo buttons, engine response time

The Bottom Line: Know your real cost: purchase plus repairs. Far lower purchase than Honda or Toyota. Will have to repair electronics. If moody problems make you nuts, don't. Attractive, good power, roomy.

Review: I must start with some personal Pontiac history to convey my conclusions. I have owned two Pontiac vehicles, both with reasonable initial reviews (not excellent, not terrible), the models being nine years apart. I first bought a used Firebird, ...
