Reviewed a 1997 Pontiac 4 Dr GT Sedan on Dec 4, 2011

I have almost 400,000 km on this car and the only non original part is the alternator. I get 34+ mpg on hiwaay and has enough power to burn off both front tires at any moment with no supercharger. It handles like it's on rails and is a very solid car.

Reviewed a 1997 Pontiac 4 Dr GTP Supercharged Sedan on Nov 6, 2009

GM 3800 sieres supercharged engines are a thing of beauty. But the build quality was horrible. the rocker panel rust out,on most all w bodies. the hud works but the sensor for daylight broke so my dash lights didn't work, and with a powerful front drive car transmission issues are expected. Despite all this i still love the cars. They performs amazing for a sedan and would beat quite a few mustangs with a pulley and down pipe. If it weren't for the rust I would not have sold it. I just couldn't bare putting money into a car physically falling apart.

very quick for an all motor v6. the 3800 is unstoppable and easy to mod. handling is very good also seeing how low the car is. looks very aggressive outside and very luxurious inside. great gas mileage and tons of fun to drive.

Reviewed a 1997 Pontiac 4 Dr SE Sedan on Oct 3, 2009

The Grand Prix SE is the 3.1 liter engine, the smallest of 3 options that Pontiac allows: 3.1, 3.8, and 3.8 Super Charged. Even though it is the smallest engine, it still packs quite a punch when you put the pedal down to the floor and the handling is not like any car I've driven. I have taken right angle turns at near 50mph and all the car does is give a little chirp with the wheel. These characteristics make my Grand Prix a dream to drive on the highway with little effort involved and when you want to have a little fun... you can do that too. Gas mileage has been better than I expected. I achieve an average of 28-29 mpg on highway driving. The front of the car looks nice and aggressive, but unfortunately on the '97 SE model, the rear doesn't come with a spoiler, which makes it look empty compared to the '98 models and beyond. At 160,000 miles and counting, the car has been a joy to have and if I can, I'd like to get a newer model when this one kicks the bucket.
