The car is great, everything I could need for my lifestyle
A little leak of oil. Some of the seals have gone bad with the humidity and heat in Florida. And the radiator has gone bad a couple times, primarily becaus eof the serious electronics running in the car.
The car is awesome, everything you could want in a car without going overboard.

A good reliable family car
* The driver side door won't roll down.
* The air conditioner has to be re-charged yearly.
* The fuel pump went out.
* The car keeps overheating.
* The transmission won't go into reverse.
Overall, the car has been very reliable. It has many, many miles on it and it keeps on going.
The engine is strong and it's got some "kick" to it.

A bargain with too many problems
The car began overheating when I first got it about a month ago and then the brakes went out in it. Now I am having a problem again with overheating and the water appears to go nowhere, but I have been told that I probably have a cracked head and that is going to mean a lot of money. Also the transmission shifts by itself from overdrive to drive for no apparent reason and the air conditioner only blows part of the time because the blower plug has became stretched out.
While a good bargain for the money I will eventually be without transportation again because too many things are going wrong all at once.

Great Vehicle!!
I acquired this car from my parents when they bought a new one. So the car was actually bought in 2000.
Minor, but normal things have gone wrong. Between belts and hoses, they were original when they bought it. About 2002, the belts and hoses were replaced.
Recently the motor mounts went, and the brakes are getting bad.
The car is pretty fast, handles excellent.
The car is getting old, I expect to sell it within a year.

A great, fun to drive, reliable vehicle
Air Intake Manifold.
Idle Air Motor.
Oil leaks.
Radiator cracked.
Driver's side window has a short.
Paint is peeling from both sides.
This is my first car and I love it. It has the 3.4l v-6 which has a ton of get up and go. It will get you where you need to go in no time
Overall I think Grand Prix's are great cars. Although it has its problems like the driver's side window, the brakes, the leaky oil, it's still a great car and I'd recommend it to any one who is looking for a quick, reliable, nice, everyday car.

I definitely agree with you. I've also had problems with the engine overheating and things of that nature. what I have noticed is that when I have one problem with the car, another one comes up not too long after. it seems that everything that can go wrong with the car, goes wrong at the wrong times. I recently had new plugs and wires installed in my gran prix and I constantly wonder what will go next. although it is a great running car, when it is running, it does seem to fall apart rather easily whereas finding new body parts isn't.
