1998 Pontiac Grand Prix review from North America
"Overall I think it's a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My supercharger pulley was making a rattling noise when I was speeding down the road. I took it to the dealership and they told me that the pulley was loose. They told me that they would replace it for $75, so I paid it and moved on.
About a month later the car wasn't running right, so I had my uncle run a diagnostic test on it and it said that nothing was wrong.
In my free time I love working on it. The people who think that they can buy a sports car and expect it to run forever without regular maintenance are crazy. If you start so work on them and take care of them, it will make a huge difference.
General comments?
This is one of my favorite cars, and I've always wanted one, but my parents said that it was too fast for me, but once I took them with me for a test drive before I purchased it, they were sold. I think they wanted it more than me.
