1989 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"I really can't say enough about this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear shocks need replaced badly.
Speedometer doesn't work at least once a day.
Check oil, check engine, and over-heat lights always on with no issues.
Automatic locks don't lock automatically anymore, and automatic mirrors don't adjust automatically.
Gas gauge doesn't work.
Check gas, change oil, etc. reminders still come on even right after servicing that particular need.
General comments?
I love my car, she's really the best used car I have ever driven. Engine purrs like a kitten, and it's all too easy to break the speed limit, no matter what it is. Passes like a champ, and takes corners like a pro. She's the most stable and smooth car I've known, and the gas mileage is great too: the best I've had yet is 28.2 (on highway). Really handles beautifully, and for all the little wiring problems with the lights, it's all worth it to have such a reliable engine.
The two way sun roof, and radio controls on the steering wheel greatly help too. Only seats four, but very comfortably-I've ridden in each one so I know this to be true. Trunk is very spacious, and the security lighting is great at night. I love having everything at the touch of a button, and more than one way to set everything, much safer to do what you have to do while on the road.
