1992 Pontiac Grand Prix Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Marketed as an affordable, fuel economic car that doesn't skimp on performance and interior roominess, the 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix is versatile as a personal luxury car or a practical and comfortable family car. The 1992 Grand Prix can be driven as a sedan or a sporty coupe. This year, the V6 engines are all that's available in the Grand Am, as the Quad 4 bids farwell. Now standard on all but the GTP coupe is the 3.1-liter, 140-hp V6 with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic (3-speed on the LE). The sports-oriented GTP coupe features the twin cam 3.4-liter, 210-hp V6 (200-hp with the auto tran).
ABS becomes standard on both the SE and GTP coupe and the STE sedan, but still an option on the LE and SE sedan. All trims get the newly restyled front end already introduced on the STE. Though sold as a sedan, for easier access and more room, the STE provides a lot of performance power similar to the GTP coupe. It has a lot of luxuries, such as power driver's seat, remote entry, power mirrors, cruise control, and a trip computer. It can also be had with the 3.4 V6.
Owners of the 1992 Grand Prix love its roominess and say the seats are very comfortable with plenty of front legroom. The backseat is a bit more cramped. Plenty of standard features are a nice touch, as is the easy instrument layout. Performance is fast and smooth, with easy handling. Gas mileage is decent, making for an affordable car. On the downside are lots of mechanical and electrical problems, persistent brake wear, expensive repairs, and the ever-glowing fuel light indicator.

I have only driven it briefly, as it was headed for the wreckers when I picked it up. It is one of 499 2 door grand prixs with the 284 manual transmissions. I have not opened the PCM but I believe that it has a chip. It hauls. I will attempt to repair the tranny, we'll see how bad it is.Feb 14, 2014

My 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix SE has been through a lot with me. I have done a lot to it. I've replaced almost everything it seems like. I originally got it for $300 (without an engine). I have since formulated my way into a new 3800 V6 for free cause my dad owns a repair shop. I then went on to modify it until I now sit at somewhere between 300-350hp due to my turbo, intercooled, cold air, ... ... ... new computer, tires, brakes, exaust, way too much basically.Oct 01, 2008

It performs better than you think it will, for an innocent-looking sedan
No repairs/squeaks or rattles
It is fine on appearance - looks like a company car and there is so much space it feels like one
Cost of ownership - minimal cost to buy, gas I spend around £25 a week (but I don't use it every day so maybe I get 30 to the gallon).
I love to drive her... she reacts so well for what looks like an exec/granny car!

What can you say about your first car...Tempermental, Slipped out of gear when rounding corners, basic interior, paint job was terrible, doors constantly froze shut in winter, back windows rediculously expensive to replace. When starting from a standstill the car was surpisingly spunky. Cheap on fuel. Had over 300K km on it and I'm sure even sitting for months it would start like it was running yesterday.Jul 28, 2008

What users have asked
Ignition stuck in "on" position
I have a 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix and one evening I went to turn off my car to pump gas and the key wouldn't turn off. It turns forward to start the engine but that's it. I ordered a new ignition switch with keys but I can't get the old one out! I've read how there is a hole to stick a straw or whatever but I can't find anything like that on mine. I can't even get the column cover off. All I could do was remove the gear shift and cover.

Swapping rims and tires
I have a 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix. It currently has 205/70r15's on and I'm wondering if I can put 225/60r16's on it instead.
