1995 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"Good reliable sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing I have had go wrong on my Grand Prix is the rear brake caliper bolt broke, and I had buy a new one for 2.00 bucks, and that was still the original bolt that broke, and it broke at 209000 miles, but that's about it.
Other than that, it has had normal maintenance and it gets 22 miles per gallon, which is great for a performance V6 engine that is 13 years old with 218000 miles on it, and the car being a sports car was great in the snow.
My previous Galant had bad top speed, belt went out on it. The thing had a crappy interior. The RPM gauge never worked. The motor had oil leaking out of it, and it was burning it, and this all happened when I bought the car at 100000 miles; for a foreign car it sucked.
General comments?
The Grand Prix is a fast reliable car.
Best car I have ever owned out of the 2 foreign cars I have owned.
