One sweet ride
Nothing has gone wrong with the car yet, just bought it a month ago.
I love the car. Rides nice, plenty of power, and all kinds of aftermarket goodies to play around with.
I love the display at night, the HUD also is great.

Just might be my favorite car of all time
CD player jammed first day. Replaced under warranty.
Darn fast for a family car.
Factory tires only lasted 35,000. Next set still look decent at 92,000.
Perfect car for me (I'm in sales). Roomy, good trunk.
Comfortable on long trips. Approaches 30MPG even at 70+MPH.

Look elsewhere for a vehicle, GM does not get high ranks from me
My engine was just recently replaced (13,500 miles). The engine had a ticking sound for almost 2 years. After several trips and several excuses from the service center, they finally decided that they better do something about it. The major problem was that the 4th cylinder was scored. I have yet to figure out why it took them 2 years to find the problem. So far I haven't had any other problems.
This car's performance is lacking in power.

Fast, sporty car that gets lots of looks!
I have had no problems with my Grand Prix GTP.
This is my 13th new auto I have purchased within eleven years and it is by far my favorite!
The comfort and power are unbelievable and the heads up display is great.

Luxury and performance in one beautiful body!
Not a lot of things have gone wrong with it, but a few minor things have. First example is my rear spoiler is retaining water after a hard rain or a car-wash. Second, my heads up display tends to fade every now and then. Finally, I have had to replace my instrument panel due to the difference in the speed of the heads up display and speedometer.
I liked the Grand Prix back in the late 80's, then I really loved them when they changed it to this new body-style.
This car handles great, but can improve with a more sports car minded suspension. I understand that its goal was for touring, but this car has too much power to have that type of suspension.
I love the way the Grand Prix's interior is laid out. It can use a little help in making the interior a bit tougher. What I mean by that is it's fragile trim. It's easy to brake or scratch such as the door trim or hood release. Other than that minor fact, I love the comfort that the Grand Prix offers. Being that I am 6'5, I had to search for the car that I fit most comfortable in and the Grand Prix was a good discision.
The supercharger makes the Grand Prix a great muscle car replacement now that I hear the Camaro and Trans Ams are being discontinued. I also understand that Pontiac plans on making a 300 horsepower Grand Prix to bring the muscle car fanatics a car they can relate to. I am really looking forward to owning one of these beauties.
All in all, the Grand Prix has a little bit of everything under it's belt. The Grand Prix has luxury and performance that has pleased me. I would definitely recomend a Grand Prix to anyone.

My heads up display dims too when driving. Does anyone know a fix for it other than that great car.
I believe that the mirror for it needs to be cleaned or something... But I'm not sure.
I had the same problem of my heads up display dimming to. Then one day it decided to quit on me completely. I thought I would need to replace it, but after checking the fuse for it in the passenger side glove box, I found the fuse prongs corroded. I used some sandpaper to get rid of the corrosion and now it works completely fine.

I wrote this review 3 years ago and my car is now at 166,000 and still going strong. I've had a few repairs: both front wheel bearings and brakes & rotors all around. I considered trading it in, but I still like the car so much I decided to keep it on for a while longer and just put 4 new tires on it. Fuel economy is still in the high 20's and just yesterday I took a day-trip with my wife, admittedly driving at a leisurely pace, and got 31MPG -- not bad for a car this size. Now do I invest in a paint job? New England winters can be harsh on the paint.
