- In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Great car for new drivers(was my first car). I bought my '00 GT with all the bells and whistles in 2011 with 49k miles on it for 6500 and its now at 89k miles and still drives perfectly and handles very well even for it being such a long wheel base and wrong wheel drive. 3800 motors are solid. Too bad GM had to get rid of Pontiac. Should've ditched Buick.
Amen to everything you said
Ryan Dougherty They're just solid. The only thing I don't like is the transmission on the car. It doesn't hold up. Guess GM vehicles have problems with that.
The 3.8 and 3.8SC are engines that I've literally seen go upwards of 400,000 miles. I drove it last night and it still runs like a champ!
The engine actually got rewards back when it was new for being very fast, and being very reliable, while still retaining gas mileage.
Cadillac had the 4.6L DOHC and it was junk compared to this superior engine.
zzzhuh oh I totally agree with you on that. and I've seen an engine go to a little over 600k and the only maintenance on it was oil changes and a head gasket and spark plugs. thats pretty much it.
Emma Anderson I recently got an '11 Charger RT and I still drive the GP every now and again, and I kinda miss the turd. haha. Odometer is at 89.5K miles
If Pontiac were still around today, I would have bought one to replace my Chevy Cobalt. Wonder what a 2018 Grand Prix or Bonneville would look like? Ah, if only . . .
I would possibly not be fwd because they would've gotten help with cadillac with a cts wheelbase for the grand prix and a ct6 wheelbase for the Bonneville but would then become a wheelbase exclusive for pontiac
The Bonneville would probably look like an Impala, and the Grand Prix would look like something like a Buick sedan... probably.
If they still made the Grand Prix they would be up in the 30s not cheap
I always thought they should’ve kept Pontiac instead of Buick Pontiac was known for being futuristic and cool while Buick today is still known as a grandma car
@@DrakeAShort that parr
Still one of the best cars ever created. If you find a Grand Prix in any year get it. They don't disappoint at all :)
DailyVlogHub my 2003 was a straight lemon. I loved it but it had endless exhaust problems. AC didn’t work for unknown reasons. Caliper Bolt came out and one end of the sway bar broke off. Back right brake light never worked no matter how many new bulbs I installed. Only had 125k miles at time of purchase and 136k when I’m scrapping it. I loved it but it was endless money out.
The grand ams are good too and the grand am gt
I have both a grand prix gt (2008, 170k) and the grand am gt (2003, 90k) had both since new. Grand am was my grandmas and she died so its mine now. Should run another 10 years. The curling dash hasn't happened to me yet either. Was always parked in shade
I'm 17 and my 2002 Grand Prix has been in our possession since 01, there have been a number of problems throughout the years, but overall it is a great car and I would highly recommend it, it is very reliable
@@Bloonstin you probably bought it from somebody that didn't take good care of it. I bought a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Coupe, and I have had very minimal problems.
I recently bought a '97 black GT with black leather seats.. It has about 101k miles on it, still running very strong! It's a real blast to drive.. Love it.
Watching this had me in tears. Lol. I had a silver one. Ran into a guard rail because a dumbass in a camaro spun his car around and made me total it. Slammed on the brakes and slide right into a guard rail. Man im gonna miss her.
02's are so hard to find now. I've always wanted a Grand Prix because it was the best car my dad bought when I was a child. It was silver GT with Blue lettering and blue reverse lights and the chrome 5 spoke rims.The transmission went out on it a few years ago and he ended up getting rid of it. I'm driving a 2010 Chevy HHR now because I wasn't able to drive when we had the Grand Prix. I hope to get a Grand Prix as my 1st official car! Man the memories in that car
02s are hard to find? I drive one right now, like 3 other people at my job drive one. theres a guy up the street from me that owns one, I think they are quite common
Jordan Kay me too buddy... i lost mine when a big Duramax ran into the back of it and totaled it. miss my girl.
Jordan Kay my family had a black one. We bought it used in 2003 (it was a 2002 year model and it had 750 miles TOTAL on it at the time) but it was totaled on Christmas Eve of 2008 when a woman in a Dodge Neon slid on icy roads and T-boned us. The GP still ran long enough for us to drive her off the road into the grass :')
I had one in the same color it was in a wreck it had a bint frame because it fell off the road
I'm getting a hand-me-down 2003 Grand Prix from my mom in a few months. So excited!! It'll be my first car.
$8000 for a common pontiac grand prix gt lol its not even the coveted gtp coupe! this dealership must be on crack!
On god, I've seen some for 1500
this video was back in 2010 a 2002 car was technically still "brand" newish with it only being about 8 years and for the mileage it had too. But I get what you're saying. Even at this price I would say the highest it should be is like 6000 if not easy 5000
got mine for 1000 and it barely runs and is rusty asf. I would buy this for 10,000.
+Dale_Junior got mine for a 1000, the speakers are blown out tho lmao
Dale_Junior i got a 2005 Monte Carlo LT (which was basically the SS trim from 2000-2004) for 3,000. And it had 45,000 Miles on it
I love these cars. I bought one a few years ago. Looks just like this just with a moon roof. It now has 270k miles on it and still ticking.
awesome brando3269.
My family owns a 2000 Grand Prix GT in forest green with tan heated leather, cd player, bose stereo, HUD, Moonroof, power everything, 3800 V6, with shiny torque star rims. It was built March of Y2K (My birthday is March 10th, 00') So the car is really special to me! It has just over 260,000 miles on it, but has been babied since the day we bought it (2007 with 67,000 miles on it) It has k&n intake, cherry bomb exhaust, 2 sets of Pontiac rims, washed weekly, detailed yearly, never seen snow in MN
Great video as always Kyle! Those Grand Prixes are great cars! A friend has one.
I just bought a 01 Grand Prix Gt- 1 owner and 54,000 miles- My first 99 Grand Prix GT went to 200,000 miles and was still running strong when I sold it :)
This is an excellent car. I love 2000- 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix's. Best car
this is by far my favorite bodystyle of the grand prix
love ur videos kyle they come in handy when ur looking into buying a certain car
You are correct! Grand Prix's of this generation are very nice in 2 door! Hence why I have a metallic silver in 2 door lowered! I LOVE IT
I hope someday to own one of these 97-03 Grand Prix sedans. I've had my 2005 Grand Prix for a year, but my mechanic told me the rear subframe was rotted out so bad that it's pretty much undrivable. Hurts my soul and breaks my heart that I have to give up my Pontiac, but someday I'll find another, hopefully a 97-03 Grand Prix as my future car.
Love the growl of those Pontiac exhausts
This car right here is one of my dream cars along with the Mazda6, Mazda MX-3, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Mazda MX-6, Mazda 323F, Mazda RX-7, Mazda RX-8, Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4,
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Alfa Romeo 164, Alfa Romeo 166, BMW M5, Peugeot 406 coupe, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and some other great European cars. I only have three words to say about the Pontiac Grand Prix "An excellent car".
You improved a lot!
How can you change the exterior door handle? Mine is a 2001 with 163k
I just bought a 2000 silver GTP coupe with 63k miles on it. It's my first car. I love it!
great video....thanks and keep going !
Still better looking than most cars today!!
Thats my car! Absolutely love it! great car
i own one like this but its the SE model with the 3.1L and i love it!!
i own a 2002 grand prix gt. love it so much!
I have a bright red 2001 GT coupe. These cars are amazing. Mine has 125,000 miles and looks and drives new. I agree this car is way overpriced as I got mine for 3,000 with private seller with 112k on it. Once you change the plastic lower intake manifold gasket with aluminum ones ($66 at dealer) these cars run forever. Kyle Ive been waiting for this video for a long time. Thanks for the request!
the engine on the 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix

Hey Kyle! Could you please review a Grand Prix GTP if you get the chance? Thanks! Great review!
i have a 1998 gt 4 door just rolled over 170,000 still runs like new!!!!!!
i wonder if this same car from this video is still around today? And what condition its in after all these years
Hey Kyle, nice video! What about that black Boxster in the background? =)
I just got a 2003 with 149,000 miles. It's Extremely reliable!!
great vid and honestly one of my favorites since i have the exact same car in navy blue and jus over 100K miles, runs great and fsat to lol as for the price i got mine early this year for aorund 6k so the prices are pretty steady for the GP
@bimjales Any specifics to back this up?
I love my Pontiac!
This car is so good looking
i used to have one... i miss it so bad
if anyone here a Pontiac guy and can tell me why the exact car here+ I have also+ why it will start great and run great but if I turn engine off I have a hard time restarting it? it don't stall on me. it is only if I turn switch off. I just recently started having issue? the Hayes repair manual insist 3 issues. 1+ corroded battery connections. 2.+ dirty air filter. #3+ engine not getting fuel to injector system. I have changed my air filter less than 1 year ago. and my battery connections on top are clean and tight. I haven't looked at any lower connections yet. I don't know if I have an injector issue but I got to find out. does anyone know about these cars having this problem ? difficult starts when engine is hot?
haha wow this brings back memories, I had one of these as my first car. It was black though, but besides that it was exactly the same. I had times in it too.
What's the name of the song with all the violins and such? It's actually pretty good.
i luv these cars and they are very quick
I'm getting one this Friday 😁
When I was 4 when my brothers friend was here I loved opening and closing the door because it made a cool sqeak noise lol
dude, it's like completley soundproof inside this car.
very NICE car, good motors. just some advice for any owners of this car: flush out all the dex-cool antifreeze, and use 50/50 all makes and models, or you will ruin a good motor.
@Matthew55904 So why was the 3.8 on Ward's best engines list?
i have a 06 GP, freaking awesome.
stock exhaust sound pretty sweet!!!
my parents have a 2002 pontiac grand prix sittin in the driveway but tires are flat along with many other issues cause nobody took care of it
@stopscrewingaround11 and what do you drive?
Do you go to a bunch of car dealerships or do you work at them? and what is the coolest car youve done a review on?
I have the exact car. it drives real good. mine has ran interior. nice paint. 3.1.
the new Pontiac is awesome !
Cool thanks Kyle your the man :)
Kyle, I think the reason why you cant see the clock display on the radio is because you have the headlights on.... clock displays on most car radios dim slightly with the headlights on.
you need to find a grand prix gtp to do my friend
Ive always like the factory smoked tailights on these cars.. :)
@CheatCheaters thx, I used to detail cars for a used car dealership back when i was a teen... basically i restored them to get the most value out of a vehicle. It has taught me a lot about what to look for when buying a used car though. I actually crashed my 93 mark 8 a couple weeks ago so im looking at another used car right now, I am thinking about a 2000 buick park avenue ultra.
I love Journey!
@SuperSportSS yea..... but how involved is it to fix? I have always wondered..... to have a dealer do it? OUCH!
@GameRatedRKO Its an engine that dates back to the 60s. It was called the "fireball 6" So, knowing that, its understandable.
I just bought a 2002 GP GT with 118,xxx miles on it. The car needs a few touches of TLC but for $2,650.00 I'm not complaining. I'm enjoying it immensely, the 3800 series II is a wonderful engine. I'm not a fan of my interior however, tan isn't my style. I guess that's what seat covers are for lol.
the 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix was assembled in
Kansas City, Kansas, United States
If you were trying to find the throttle for that 3800 Series II engine... its underneath that cover... its on the right side underneath that "V6" badge... feel around you'll find it.
I enjoyed it i have the same car too except it’s a 3100 se
This is my dream car i want just like this when i start driving
Did you get one?
Pretty good review, made cover the instrument panels more descriptely....
@hylander89 Nope. Remove the plastic surround that goes around the radio, remove the radio from the dash (2 screws) then remove the few screws to get the face of the radio off, and the bulb just unscrews. Takes about 20 mins from start to finish.
1:50
Is this a Grand Prix issue? My exact same headlight is flooded.
Edit: I was mechanically challenged when I wrote this.
I've wanted a 97-03 Grand Prix GT 4 door as my first car but here in Canada 🇨🇦 they are so hard to find in excellent shape not too many of them on the road anymore
My uncle had a 2001
@@alexandergillingham2592 does your uncle still have his 2001 Grand Prix?
@@fordmustang98guy No
@@fordmustang98guy He had a Grand Prix GT
@@alexandergillingham2592 oh he got rid of his Grand Prix GT?
Nice car
To bad you couldn't test drive it. Those cars have some serious handling and decent acceleration.
@digitalrailroader There is a conversion kit on the market. Remember the old analog TV's and how they needed a conversion kit? This is the same type of deal.
lawrd, why is the trunk release in the glove comp.? lmao
@metalmaniac622 The bulb goes bad. Notice he turns on the headlights a few mins after he starts the car.
@SERGIO120688 GT has the 3.8 V6, and the GTP has the 3.8 Supercharged V6 with 240hp and 280ft lb of torque.
I wanted one of these, except a GTP. I got an 01 SE, with the godawful 3100 SFI.
The radio display bulb is a common problem. Instead of lighting the display using LED's, they used a regular incandescent bulb. Good thing its an easy and cheap fix. Ive seen so many people scrap these radios thinking the whole radio is "junk"
This is the best model by far.
GTP is better. It's got the same things but has a Super Charger on top of the 3.8
No charging ports?
Wauuu Nice car
I love this car, don't get me wrong but Pontiac put the cup holders in such a stupid place and so close together. My sister drives a teal 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix GT and she hates using the cup holders. They get in her way with things and they're way to close together.
i like it :D
Great car! Probably the best thing sitting on this corny Hyundai lot back in 2010. To think someone traded this beauty in for a Sonata or something. SMH. I had this car ... and it was a fun, reasonably priced & (for the most part) reliable car. Damn I miss Pontiac. More style than Chevy by far.
Reliable? My friend almost died in one of these! These are the car version of disposable cameras.
+ProcrastiNate Let me guess, engine fire because he forgot to have the recall done on the valve cover gaskets
No a crash. They may be reliable in some ways but safety is not one of its best.
I beg to differ. I've been in accidents in a couple of these W bodies, and they hold up very well during crashes. I've never even gotten so much as whip lash in these. My Hyundai on the other hand.....
If he almost died, but didn't, then shouldn't you be praising the car?
they like to charge big bucks for cars over in North Carolina lol. Did you get to check out that green Acura next to it?
Should I get this car or the intrigue ????
Can you review a Pontiac sunfire?
this isnt the supercharged one is it?
@saabkyle04 that radio display issue is typical with that style pontiac radio.... I have known several pontiacs that have had theirs go out on them around 100-150k miles
you should start including MPG, and Horsepower. into the review, love the vid's.
Man Im having an extremely hard time deciding between this and an 04-08 nissan maxima!
@kegelnaddict I recommend them. I love my 01 GT. And yes the factory exhaust sounds amazing.
Kyle I know that you mar mainly focused on reviewing cars, but have you ever thought about reviewing other things suck as ATVS, Boats, or even Lawnmowers for that matter?
So this car Worth buying
Nice I've always liked this generation Grand Prix, well actually I like all GM W bodies haha we have two Luminas
can u do the acura next to it
i had a 2000 grand prix gt supercharged series II. i just sold it last week. i miss it so much. it made us beat a audi rs 6 turbo. and a porsche canyenne turbo. and i saved the best 4 last. a bmw m3 gt-r.
lol bad wording on my part. I meant it keeps on running. You can't seem to kill these cars.
@SuperSportSS I just plugged the VIN on OnStar's Website, and got this Message: This is an analog-only vehicle, with equipment that can only operate on the analog cellular network. Since this vehicle's equipment is analog-only, its OnStar system will not operate on the digital cellular network. This equipment cannot be upgraded to operate on the digital network. In Other Words, the buttons on this Grand Prix's Mirror do nothing, your screwed in an accident, and your SOL if it gets stolen.
