Pros: What do you like about 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Great mileage considering it's a V8 with 303 HP. 27 HWY MPG. The Fuel Management system is ideal on the highway even at speeds of 125 MPH. 0-60 in just over 5 seconds. How can you beat its performance to gas mileage ratio? What other car in its class delivers this with a V8 under its dress?

The interior is so beautiful and comfortable. I feel like the car becomes an extension of my physical existence when I sit in it and initiate the explosions which will propel me to destinations of my choosing.

Cornering is amazing at high speeds of up to 75 MPH. Very solid suspension which is surprisingly comfortable considering my driving demand. The Potenza's in conjuntion with the Bilstein shocks act as sensory finger tips and nerves relaying road condition as if by some neural telekinesis. The solidity from this pairing at 125+ MPH is compelling to say the very least.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix?
No iPod Jack.

There should be a master switch that closes any/all open windows and the sun/moon roof simultaneously. (Along with sensors indicating when a particular window has closed before another so the motor doesn't burn out for that particular window.)

I would have liked to see a lower stance which came stock. Mechanical issues have been know to arise when lowering these vehicles with aftermarket springs.

Vents in the hood let out more heat than the fender vents.

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
Absolute pleasure to own, look at, and drive.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Powerful and torquey engine.
Smoothness and quietness.
Fuel Mileage has been 28 MPG or better.
Tires and brakes still good after 47K.
Stylish.
2300 RPM's at 80 MPH - Awesome!!

Could use a 5 or 6 speed transmission for better kickdown shift.

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
I love this car. I bought it for $13.9K last year with less than 20K and I feel like I got a great deal. Other than oil changes and a tire rotation and fixing some wires that a mouse got to - there have been no service issues. The tires are still good at 47K. It is a big, powerful, fast extremely efficient, dependable car. A used example would serve you well - trust me!
