1998 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"This GP has been very reliable for us"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator replaced at 65K miles.
No major items replaced other than normal maintenance, brakes, oil changes service cooling, battery, etc.
General comments?
We purchased it as a dealer demo. The car came as a loaded SE model. I like the power of the 3.8 L motor, very smooth. The car isn't the best riding model, but it handles great. Although I'm not canyon carving every day on my way to work and home.
I'm aware that there are more powerful motors and extravagant creature comforts offered today, but for 1998 this is/was a great car to drive and own.
