1995 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"A great car, which I have thoroughly enjoyed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 36k miles, the rear intake manifold blew ($600).
At 36k miles, the hood latch release cable broke at the interior latch area.
At 50k miles, the alternator died ($300).
General comments?
Other than a few expensive repairs, this has been an excellent car.
I get a lot of positive comments from friends and acquaintances, for it's looks and performance.
It is fun to drive, and has really held up great.
I have installed new shocks and struts above all four tires, yet the car still tends to bounce a bit excessively (it doesn't ride like a Cadillac).
I am only 5' 11", but I feel like I am 6' 11" when I am in the car...
