I have never had a problem sonce I've owned this.

I love my car bought it in 2012 from grove, OK. Never had any issues and I still drive it. Loved the dealership, loved the price, and loved my payments. Happy that it was reasonable

Absolute best first car

I bought this car 5 years ago with the cash I saved up from my first job. I have had little to no problem with it other than minor repairs totaling under 400 dollars. The ride is smooth and quiet. Great in the snow and it has the power you want from a large V6 engine. I still enjoy driving it everyday to work and school. I guarantee I will miss this car when I trade up!

Never buy one

I own two grand Prixs, never owned a car that I can?t go on a trip in until I bought these. No matter how much work you do to them they still are junk. Very nice looks but very bad reliabelity.

Good car, but some flaws.

I had the Grand Prix GXP which was equipped with the 5.3L V8 which Pontiac failed to create an adequate transmission to handle the increased power which eventually lead to the transmission failing and me getting rid of this vehicle as it wasn?t worth it to fix anymore with about 127k miles on it. Other than that, the car was a joy to drive except the different sized tires in front and back to offset the torque steer. I liked the interior design and features for the year of the vehicle and loved that it had traction control and stability control for a 2005 year and liked the exhaust note of it. It was a fun car to drive for years. I?ve had problems with the radiator, transmission, and started harshly with a full tank of gas.

The example was correct

It's better than a v4 but less than v8 so better on Gas and it also has a stylish look especially in gray
