3.7 Overall rating
(16 reviews)Great reliable comfortable car. I didn't own it for too long and sold it to a family friend badly in need of something reliable. Very comfortable to drive, and inexpensive to run. The 3.1L was quiet, smooth and adequately powered. Had decent gas mileage, very comfortable seats for taking on a longer trip, and a huge trunk for anything you want to put in it.
I received this car from my parents after receiving my license, and it's been a beautiful starter. Four doors for practicality and space. A nicely designed V6 with a slightly sporty transmission. Thus far I've replaced the audio system with a Blaupunkt deck, 2 Polk 6x9's in the rear, and 2 Polk 5.25's in the front along with mounted components. I've also replaced the air filter with a K&N performance filter (no need for cold air just yet) and the exhaust system from behind the catalytic converter (upped the tubing from stock 2" to 2.5" all the way back to a 2.5" Flowmaster 50). With the 50 it has a beautiful purr that's very apparent below 2500rpm. But once above 2500 it's just a very soft, soothing, mellow bellow.
Good car, decent looking, good handling and acceleration. Built crappy, though. The biggest flaw in Pontiac cars is the electrical. If you have power locks and windows, they will probably stop working at some point. It was a tough car, though. I hit a deer and all that happened was one of the headlights was cracked. The bumper dented in, then popped right back into place.
This car handles like a champ. It can take any corner at any speed, it is so heavy that it will never flip. This car is perfect for the lake, just drive it off the loading ramp...ittl float. Almost forgot, the grand prix doubles as a bomb shelter.
I liked the car. It was well made and solid. The 3.1 is good on performance and not too bad on gas. Brakes need repairs often but everything else is fine. It's not too expensive to fix and doesn't need to be often either. Got to love the confort and the style. It's roomy and quite pretty for it's age. Last owner didn't wash it a lot so it starts to rust from there to there but it's most of the time surface rust that I fix. The only "holes" I found were on the rockers and they're hidden by a molding...
