2002 Pontiac Grand Prix consumer reviews

Drove it to the 20 year mark I know it has the 3.8 series yes reliable if you do regular service car failed compression bad engine failure rust under each of the doors on the frame not good in salt areas every 3 to 6 months something broke went through 2 racks alot of stuff has to be repaired in nearly 5 years of ownership I put 7k into this car in repairs would I recommend no not at all the 3.8 is a great engine but everything around if brakes tons of leaks too just why I will say this much it is fun driving around curves with good tires.

These Pontiacs with the 3.8 engine are solid as a rock and make a good used car Buy. I owned the Pontiac GT it's simply was a great trouble free car. And all of these Pontiacs are fun to drive.

Had it since new. still in love with this car. 2 door coupe is beautifully styled. Car is very stable. With good winter tires can outrun AWD on icy roads. Very stable due to the correct weight distribution. Heavy by current standards, but very responsive with 3.8 V6. Of coarse mileage is not so great especially in city driving, but reliable and easy on maintenance. No serious mechanical repairs over these 18 years. Also components are quite accessible so easy to DIY.

I inherited this car in 2013 with 115,000 miles on it. It has been in my life since it was brand new. I know it never once had a major repair. And still, seven years later, it is insanely mechanically reliable. We had a polar vortex where it was -20 degrees (-50 windchill) two years ago friends with newer cars had trouble getting them to start. This baby had no issue at all. I wish they still made Pontiacs. But my next car will definitely be in the GM family (Chevy, Cadillac, Buick) because this vehicle has wildly exceeded expectations. 18 years and still, not one major mechanical failure. And the paint is still so shiny, it looks new.

Plenty of room inside and in the back of the car. Only problem is a coolant and oil leak. A couple dents on the outside that have been there for years.

rare model, love heads up display 90% off list price. New Tires, Master brake cylinder and new lines and new exhaust need TLC for being a nice car. OBO

I bought my first one which was a GT coup and totally loved it, and talk about reliability, never needed anything besides tires and brakes. I was so pleased with it, I let my wife use it after her car broke down and I bought a 2002 GTP Coup. The engine is perfect with no problems and from what I have heard from mechanics they both have one of the best engines ever made meaning the 3800 series.

Owned a 2002 GTP coupe for 15 years. Interior is horrible, creaky and plastic. Drive train reliability is the only thing good about this car, ...supercharger whine is annoying, premium gas only and just about every other subsystem broke by 200k. One positive - this car is easy to fix, and there are lots of parts available. That is the only reason I kept it on the road so long. No idea why I kept it for so long.

Great first car with decent space and a nice sized trunk to add. If taken care of this bad go can go up to 400,000 miles and even when that gives out a new one is not all the expensive.

This car met all of my needs such as smooth acceleration, seat comfort, and breaks work well. I am glad to have had the opportunity to drive it.
