Hey everyone. I'm new to these forums, but not new to the Grand Prix. I used to own a 1998 GTP coupe, but that turned out to be a bad car so I sold it. After the grand pric I figured I'd try out something diffrent and bought a 02 WRX Impreza wagon. Really fun car. Although the car is great it gets bad MPG and I don't like to deal with the turbo lag. I'm going to sell the wrx soon and be buying a new 06 Grand Prix GT soon after. Now that yall know my life history lol :p heres my questions.
How good at the 06 3.8 S/C engine? Any problems I should be looking for when buying one? How good are they on gas? I drive about 25-50 miles every weekend and I don't exactly like to do speed limit . I'm usually doing 70-80 mph. So what kinda MPG will I be seeing from a grand prix at those speeds? Thats all on the highway btw. Last question. Are these cars as fun as the older models? I used to rip things up with my 98 gtp was wondering if they toned the 06's down since they made them only 4drs.
Thanks for any info
Chris
