The mid-size personal luxury coupe and sedan that was Pontiac's bread-and-butter for nearly 30 years—a stylish, reliable, and affordable car that was a hit with buyers. The GXP with the V8 was a sleeper.
The Grand Prix went through four generations.
1980-1987: Rear-drive on the GM G-body platform. Engines: 3.8L V6 (110 hp), 4.3L V6 (110 hp), or 5.0L V8 (140-180 hp). Transmissions: 3-speed or 4-speed auto.
1988-1996: Front-drive on the GM W-body platform. Engines: 2.8L V6 (130 hp), 3.1L V6 (140 hp), or 3.4L DOHC V6 (210 hp). Transmissions: 4-speed auto.
1997-2003: Front-drive on the GM W-body platform. Engines: 3.8L V6 (200 hp) or 3.8L supercharged V6 (240 hp). Transmissions: 4-speed auto.
2004-2008: Front-drive on the GM W-body platform. Engines: 3.8L V6 (200 hp), 5.3L V8 (303 hp), or 3.8L supercharged V6 (260 hp). Transmissions: 4-speed auto.
The Grand Prix is reliable. The 3.8L V6 is bulletproof. The 3.8L supercharged V6 is reliable. The 5.3L V8 is bulletproof but has AFM issues. The 3.4L DOHC V6 is a disaster—avoid it. The 4-speed auto is okay. The Grand Prix is a reliable mid-size car.
