1984 Pontiac Grand Prix review from North America
"This car is utterly bulletproof and is one of the best cars I've ever had."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced rear brake cylinders around 104,000 miles.
Replaced radiator and heater core around 120,000.
Repaired transmission leak around 130,000.
Currently needs new radiator, doors and there's a pesky vacuum leak that I'm trying to track down.
General comments?
I love this car. She's quick, rides smooth and handles well for a car this size.
The doors have rotted out and need to be replaced, but there is very little rust on the underbody or frame -- unheard of in the northeast, where I am.
The 305 V8 is bulletproof, and has never left me stranded anywhere. This car will fight through just about anything and keep going.
Probably one of the best cars I've ever owned.
