Pontiac Grand Prix Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Pontiac Grand Prix rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

We need more owners to participate before we can provide a Vehicle Reliability Survey result for the Grand Prix.

To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Pontiac Grand Prix--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.

Pontiac Grand Prix Repair Histories

To supplement our Vehicle Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Pontiac Grand Prix repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Vehicle Reliability Survey and the Vehicle Repair History Survey are posted here:

Pontiac Grand Prix Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Pontiac Grand Prix's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

If you are unsure about the Pontiac Grand Prix's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

For car buyers' reasons for buying a Grand Prix--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Pontiac Grand Prix review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Pontiac Grand Prix Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Pontiac Grand Prix tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Pontiac Grand Prix--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
