Model History

2004-

Current Generation

With its stiff suspension, heavy steering, and prominent exhaust sound, the Grand Prix presents a sporty veneer that comes up short in substance. The powertrain is responsive but lacks polish. Handling is secure but not agile. The interior is cramped for a car of this size. The rear seat, however, is short on head room, and the ride is unexceptional. Despite a redesign for 2004, the Grand Prix continues its mediocre tradition. The base V6 engine is fairly quick but noisy. The GTP model features a supercharged V6. The ride is very stiff and braking is only adequate. The low roofline limits head room and visibility.

1997-2003

1997 Redesign Year

Earlier versions of this model didn't measure up in performance or comfort. In our tests, the Grand Prix handled well in routine driving but was sluggish in emergency maneuvers. The optional 3.4-liter V6 delivers a little more punch than the 3.1-liter V6, but it's notably thirstier. Redesigned for 1997, the Grand Prix came with a 3.8-liter V6 in standard and supercharged versions. It corners crisply with little body lean, and the front seats are quite comfortable. The rear seat, however, is short on head room, and the ride is unexceptional.
