I had a 02 Grand Am in college and loved it. Then when on the way home from school while I was stuck in traffic some minivan struck the back of my car at nearly 30-40 mph so the car got totalled.
For a while I drove a Chevy Malibu afterwards then my dad got a 1999 Chrysler Concorde. The car was boaty and the braking distance on the car always made me nervous. Looking back on it though the car was quite comfy.
My mom after that bought an 02 Saturn Ion....that car just feels so damn tiny and it doesn't even have ABS!
I was thinking I was going to buy the G6 GXP from my neighbor but the asking price was too high for a car with 60k miles.
My dad knew I liked my old Grand Am so told me to check out the Grand Prix's at a local gas station. It was an 02 GTP Coupe it looked nice, I heard the Series 3800 engine was reliable and almost indestructible, so I gave it a shot. The owner of the gas station was on vacation so it was like a grueling 3 weeks waiting, I was basically dead set on buying it. As soon as I turned on the car the smell of burning oil and coolant mixed together. I was soooo pissed. Two weeks later my dad hears another GTP was being sold down the shore, we go down there my dad inspects the car and says it looks clean.
So...I got an 01 GTP coupe and the only thing wrong with it was a faulty ignition switch that caused the security to go ape****. To be honest I still wonder how the G6 GXP compares to the Grand Prix.
