1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"Hot and Sporty!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlights needed to be replaced.
Front suspension squeaks.
Needed new battery... Replaced the AC Delco battery.
Needed transmission flush... fluid smelled fishy and burnt.
Taillights are cracking around the edges.
Power steering wines loudly.
The light on the radio display dimmed out.
The AC Delco cd player skips badly.
The climate control sometimes displays the wrong outside temperature.
The 5 spoke rims are starting to get hazy, even though I do take care of them often.
During rainy days, the BOSE speakers fade in and out.
General comments?
I own the 2 door Gulf Blue model of the Grand Prix.
This car has amazing power and acceleration!
Right now I'm getting about 19.1 MPG CITY and 19.5 HIGHWAY MPG, just using regular unleaded gas. Could be better?
Car handles really good on turns, but while driving straight... its wacky.
The radio controls on the steering wheel are a dream come true!
The auto sensing headlights are wonderful! You never forget to turn your headlights on because they turn on automatically when it gets dark outside.
The 2 door GT model is a very sporty car, especially for a teenager like myself.
I highly recommend this car!!
I only had this car for 5 months now, and nothing major has gone wrong with this car, even with 132,000 miles on it!
