1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"OK. Love the way it drives, not dependable through the years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window motors went out, radiator problems, keys wouldn't come out of ignition, bearing in super charger went out, leak in A/C, had SEVERAL alternators, problems with transmission shifting into over drive.
General comments?
I absolutely love the way this car handles. I've driven many cars over the years and nothing seems to drive quite like the Grand Prix.
BUT, I have had CRAZY problems with this car. I was a college student when I bought it, now that I'm out, I have student loans and other bills and just cannot afford to buy something else. So, I'm stuck with the Possessed Demon as my mechanic calls it.
