Engine upgrades highlight the changes to the 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix. A redesigned 3.1 V6 now gets 175-hp, and due to new intake and camshaft improvements, it rates better on emissions and creates less noise and shudder. This engine comes standard on the SE sedan, though the SE is most often sold as a fleet car. The more popular GT and GTP sedan and coupe feature the much more exciting 3.8-liter, 200-hp V6 (240-hp in the supercharged GTP). All come with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Other changes include a slightly restyled front end and a now standard anti-theft system. A limited number of Daytona Race Car coupes were produced as part of the 2000 Grand Prix lineup. These featured a spoiler, dual hood scoops, 16-inch performance tires, and special badging. The 3800 engine power is a favorite of 2000 Grand Prix drivers. It is fast, thrilling, and has a lot of kick you wouldn't expect in a heavy mid-sized car. Handling is the number one compliment, as it is both sporty, sure-footed, and feels like a smaller car. Acceleration is smooth and instant. Drivers like the interior space and all the optional touches, like the heads-up display and heated seats, and overall they think the Grand Prix packs in a lot of power and luxury at a much cheaper price (and insurance costs) than comparable cars. Negatives include a faulty window regulator, frequent squeaks and rattles, cheap plastic parts, the tendency for interior door panels to fall off, and problems with the electrics and transmission.

What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix seem to enjoy its blend of performance and comfort. Many drivers appreciate its speed, spacious interior, and strong build quality, particularly noting the car's fun driving experience. However, some drawbacks include issues with the interior materials, inconsistent braking performance, and aging components, which come with the vehicle's age. Still, most owners feel it's a reliable and enjoyable car."

October 15, 2009Performance: Acceleration rocks, braking smooth and responsive, and handling is also responsive. Build Quality: Very smooth and no squeaks or rattles even at higher speeds.

June 8, 2011I love it! Its the best car I have owned so far. Performance is good. Ive always owned a pontiac and they have never let me down. Its a fun car to drive. The fact that I have a supercharged makes it even better!
November 14, 2010The car is okay, it gets the job done and had plenty of room for fun tunning and potential to be a good sports car, don't really have the time and money to put anything into a family commuter. All around good car
July 7, 2012High in performance, and value. Strong powertrains, sporty styling, loads of features, fun to drive One of 2000 made originality guaranteed with this daytone 500 edition. Not exactly a family car although the back seat is surprisingly roomy and seats 3 comfortabley
June 25, 2013The performance of the car is fantastic. It has awesome acceleration, its looks brilliant, and it is very comfortable. It does have weak spots. For example, the build quality is a bit lacking, especially in the rust prevention, it seems to love to rust around the trunk(by the spoiler) and along the rear fenders. Other than some annoying rattles the car performs and runs well.
August 17, 2009Solid 3.8L engine with fair acceleration and road mpg. Interior is functional but cheep and exterior looks average but much better with a coat of wax. Its dependable year round and for original cost and the overall cost of repairs its worthwhile to own.
July 10, 2009I love this car and have since day one. It has 200,000 miles and still going strong with a 3.8 V-6. I still get 32mpg/highway and 26 city. I love passing slowpokes especially when they try to speed up and I pass them anyway because I have more torque and I wave at them. it is very comfortable on long trips.
May 10, 2008I enjoy driving this car, wish I could keep it, it is comfortable, stylish, reliable, all around a good car. Handles well, has a great engine that just wont quit, acceleration is ok, it is not a race car though. :) Braking is excellent on this car (I have upgraded the brakes to drilled and slotted with ceramic pads). I always felt in control, there are few blind spots.
