well, with gas prices and the cost of the repairs needed on the the gtp, i was forced to trade it in, i got a brand new 2008 civic, it is a great car, i wish i didn't have to trade the gtp in, but i couldn't afford the down payment.


i'm interested to here what you guys have to say

little import 4 bangers are the way to go right now. Too bad you had to dump the GP, but financially it sounds like it was the best decision

As much as i hate to say it, they are aging pontiacs. Its hard to keep them reliable, so enjoy your gas mileage, warranty, and new car. And get another GP to be a weekend warrior one day

Is that hybrid? If not then you should got hybrid. I did test drive for my girlfriend who seeking hybrid cars. It was pretty good but little slowly. That's better than nothing for save gas. One thing I like engine shut down itself when stop on red light. I wish grand prix have one so I won't complain about gas since it ate lot of gas during traffic.

Don't look at me. My girlfriend want hybrid so I don't know lot of hybrid lol

I just rather keep my 2 grand prix than any hybrid cars.

If it is that true then that's suck for everyone who have hybrid. I think they have 8 batteries on trunk? Dealer won't show us. :rolleyes:

Please PLEASE dont rice it, anyways I love my GP, and i only drive 34 miles a day for work, i can walk the half city block to the store if i need something, I have always been a sucker for a good running gm, i restored a 72 chev pick up 2 wheel with r55 10 inch wide chromeis and tires out back with a chev 350 with edelbrock performer rpm heads manifold,cam and carb, about 310 hp, Painted 1992 gm Bahama blue, I loved the way it sounded at idle,sounded like it was barley running the duration was so long, but times change, $$ is tight, hopefully it wont get bad enough that we all wont have to give up our cars for the sake of foreigners and ther big oil prices
