Love It — Love this car. I have owned alot of cars and I mean alot and this by far is my fav (I have the GTP). I love the fact that the supercharger allows me to swack the tires and show off. I love the four door grocery getter look with the horse power to impress. It is big enough for my almost 16 year old who is all leg to sit in the back and he's comfy. The only down side is that the trani is built for the hourse power it already has and not much more. Both my hubby and I have the need for big horse power and we both have this car (yes exact same year color) but he bumped the hp and blew his overdrive. That sucks, but over all I LOVE THIS CAR.

If You Need A Dd You Can Expect 200,000 Miles And Comfort — Overall a nice car to drive around in. The performance for a touring car isn't bad at all. Nice push you in your seat torque. The fit and finish is to be expected from Pontiac . I find the cars styling to be very nice but it lacks without the stock rear spoiler. After 185,000 miles it still gets around 20mpg and runs like a champ. Regular maintenance and you can expect over 200,000. Many nice options available to suit any driver.

ProsStrong performer, great looks, lots of room, great deal for the money. Main drive components are bulletproof. ConsInterior is cheap-looking, fit & finish is less than stellar, minor repairs needed from time to time as little stuff breaks.

Surprising Performance + Impressive Durability = Winner! — I bought my 1997 GTP coupe from a friend in 2006 for only $2500, with 136,000 miles on the clock. It needed a little TLC (window regulator, supercharger drive coupler, etc) but otherwise was quite sound. When driven carefully, I can get 29-31 mpg highway, 18 city, with a weekly average of 24 mpg. Of course, I had to take it to the dragstrip, and on it's first trip down the track, it ran a 14.6 @ 94.8 mph, beating a Foxbody 5.0. With my wife at the wheel! Strong runner, great looks, and though small things might need repairs now & then, the major components are rock solid (at least in stock form). Even at high mileage, it runs like a top, shifts crisply, and uses no oil between changes. The Series II 3800 is an outstanding powerplant.

Great Car Not So Great Quality. — GM 3800 sieres supercharged engines are a thing of beauty. But the build quality was horrible. the rocker panel rust out,on most all w bodies. the hud works but the sensor for daylight broke so my dash lights didn't work, and with a powerful front drive car transmission issues are expected. Despite all this i still love the cars. They performs amazing for a sedan and would beat quite a few mustangs with a pulley and down pipe. If it weren't for the rust I would not have sold it. I just couldn't bare putting money into a car physically falling apart. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Awesome Car, Great Daily Driver! — Superior Car. Have had it for 6 years and no major or minor mechanical failures at 160,000 miles! Acceleration is amazing for a V6. Brakes good and handles perfect. Interior is comfy but somewhat generic. Gas Mileage is about 25 highway but about 15 city. 3800 is a spectacular motor, with some simple bolt ons it is a real contender. Only things that have needed replacing are abs sensors and and a window regulator. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Umm? — well i love the body style and how unique it looks, but i hate the fact that it needs a new tran and in my oppinion a new stero and speakers. It gets decent gas mileage and is a 6silender so its not too big not too small. the head lights suck though and the high beams bearly make a difference in my oppinion. It wasnt extremely priced so thats awesome too...all in all its a good first car | ||

Amazing Car — I don't dislike anything about this car. It's easy to work on as well as fairly inexpensive to fix anything broken. I love it. It's fast, it's good-looking, it's reliable. It's got tons of room, too. No one is ever cramped. I could fit 3 bodies in my trunk just fine. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
