2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP comp G review from North America
"A flying lemon.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It ran good for 6 months, but then the cross member, a speed sensor, and it had a recall for the electronic throttle system.
At 55k the tranny went out.
Other than that, the car has served me well...
General comments?
This car has a lot of power. I have done some mods to it; 3 inch exhaust with headers, pulley kit, cold air intake, front mounted intercooler, stage 2 ECU.
The car is great with power, but the American car image keeps it low key.
The resale value drops like a rock, and American reliability are bad lows for this car.
My first car was a 1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with the 5.7 V8, and it handled better and got better mpg. But to make a long story short, it got wrecked due to the RWD and ice on the freeway.
I don't think I'd buy another American car again.
