1994 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America

Battery died at 23,000 - under warranty.

Fuel injection cleaning at 50,000 to correct sluggish performance ($50.00).

Alternator replaced at 100,000 - ($225).

Serpentine belt tensioner at 110,000 ($130).

The kick in the teeth repair was a new transmission at 95,000 - $1200.00. Very disappointing and the "black mark" on this car.

Went through several expensive brake repairs. GM cars of this genre are alleged to have poorly engineered braking systems and are part of a "silent recall".

Purchased the car with 22,000 miles on it. It is a very handsome car with the ground effect package - still eye catching. Minimal rust.

Some of the painted letters on the switches starting to rub off - never would see that happen on an import.

Seats too cushy and lack support - not good on long trips.

It has been a generally good car, minus the transmission replacement.

It still gets 26-28 miles per gallon - not too bad. Still peppy when merging and taking off after all these years.

The Regal/Lumina/Cutlass/Grand Prix by 94 had been out 6 years, so most of the bugs were worked out by then. Not a bad used car buy if you can find a nicely maintained model.

Hope to drive it until the wheels fall off.
