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.
