1999 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"It's a beast and I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some kind of engine ticking when I start up the car, but I don't believe it's anything serious.
There have been a few leaks, but that's common.
Brakes are getting a bit squeaky and noisy, might need to be replaced, but they're working fine.
I haven't really had anything serious with the car, minus my couple of times where I crashed a bit, but other than that, nothing major yet.
General comments?
It's quite a car, I love it. It's fast, handles great, reliable, and rumbles beautifully with the exhaust I have put on it.
Looks great inside and out, the Bose stereo sounds great, this car has been through a few little races and has been victorious, trunk has plenty of room.
I wish it had a sunroof and passenger seat heater, but that no big deal.
The engines great, it will take whatever I give it, I have been driving this car a lot and put it through a lot so far, and it will take it all with no problem, it should last me a good few years. I would definitely recommend it to someone who wants a nice, fun, fast, sexy car, that's got plenty of room for whatever.
