1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"I love her"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car from an older lady I used to work with for $400 because she thought the transmission had gone out. Upon further inspection I decided to change the fluid and filter. Once this was done the tranny worked fine. However I do expect to have problems with it later on.
General comments?
This car is a coupe which is a definite plus for me. It has a firm but still very nice ride. I've put it through a few pretty sharp curves well above the suggested speed and it hugged the road beautifully. The cabin noise is really quiet considering the throaty sound of the engine from outside the car. I like the easy and convenient layout of the controls in the cockpit. Performance is awesome. It will make very short work of my V8 Cougar.
