1989 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Great car!!! Often overlooked, A future classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bougt this car from the original owner, who I knew when they bought it.
The alternator has been replaced several times (too much electronic stuff)
The roof liner sags, I got a temp fix from the auto store.
Valve cover gaskets leaking.
Something going on with left front end.
General comments?
Great car! I wasn't real impressed with it when it was brand new, but now that I have been driving it I love it.
Powerful enough, better than my Prelude.
I hate the digital gauges though. I'm going to replace them with analog from a '92 grand prix.
Best mileage of all the cars we own, including my son's Toyota.
