1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"A lot of car for the money (I'm very satisfied)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The resistor that controls the fan speed for the heat/AC blower failed after the warranty was up. A ($15) part from the local dealer fixed the problem, and the cost was lower since I replaced it myself.
I had to replace the brake pads around 43K and suggest anyone who owns one have them inspected before 40K miles.
Pontiac still uses crappy Goodyear tires that wore out at around 45K (the tires on my wife's care went 82K before they needed replacement).
General comments?
Even the non super-charged version (which I own) has good pick-up.
The four wheel disc brakes are really the way-to-go!
My GP is a four door, and it's as sporty and good looking as any other car out there.
I've driven it to, and from Florida, and I believe it's very comfortable for three... Four might be better fit in a Bonneville.
