1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"A very solid car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only one major problem with this car. I was lucky it was still under warranty at 34000 miles. The seal between the engine and transmission blew.
The other problem I have had, is that both headlight covers fell off within 6 months of each other after my warranty. With a little persistence with my dealer, they only charged me for labor to put them on - 35 bucks a piece, not bad for a 100 dollar part.
General comments?
With the problems I have had, I would consider buying another Pontiac. The dealer really came through when I needed them to, and that meant a lot.
