1994 Pontiac Grand Prix SL review from North America
"This is the best car I've owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side power window needed to be replaced when I first bought it. (However, dealership took care of that)
Main power window motor burned out and I couldn't use any windows. I replaced that for a used one for $25.00 two years ago. Still works.
Two years ago the idiot light for the air bags came on and stays on. I was told it would cost $400.00 for a new control box. (I live with the idiot light on, no problem.
Shifter on dash doesn't coincide with what gear it's actually in, but I've learned to shift slowly into each gear and watch the rpms to know. (No one likes to tear out steering columns to fix it and say it may actually cause more problems.)
General comments?
This car had been maintained well in and out as I have continued the same; it is a great travel car, very comfortable.
It has great pickup and go with a nice smooth ride.
It has a large trunk space that holds more than you can imagine!
Bumpers are extremely absorbent; I was rear-ended on the interstate last year and thrown into the hitch on the jeep in front of me; the result was very little body damage to my Pontiac, none to the jeep, but the car behind me was a mess! I haven't done anything to it, and still driving around.
