1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Coupe review from North America
"Best Pontiac Made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has really gone wrong with the car. Had to give it a tune up and replace a couple things when I first bought it because it is a ten year old car. Put in a new supercharger bearing. because the original was shot. The stock rims and tires made a lot of road noise so I bought brand new 17 inch rims and performance tires. The paint on the car chips and peels pretty easily. And the Headlights got fogged up and were pretty yellow so I bought a HID kit and it looks really nice.
General comments?
I really like the car It is fun to drive and fast. It is Luxurious inside with soft leather seats and a big back seat with a lot of leg room even if its the coupe. It has HUD (Heads up display) wich projects the speed and other things on the windshield wich is a cool feature. And you can find a nice used one for a good price like I did. I paid $4,990 and it is probably the fastest, best looking, most comfortable, safest and most reliable car you can buy for under $5,000.
