1998 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Great reliable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Has been a very reliable car.
Both headlight lens fell off, and I had to replace the whole assembly (expensive).
In ten years I have owned it, the only other issues (besides regular service) were power window switches (driver door) needed to be replaced, and the gear shift locked (major headache).
One of the most fun cars to drive with the heads up display, and the handling is still excellent. I actually anticipated many more problems (knock on wood). Ten years old and still going strong
General comments?
Great car - Why buy foreign cars when you can get an excellent American made vehicle.
