1989 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"A pretty sports car in the making"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sub frame mounts seperated (had replaced under recall warranty... 2ce).
Have replaced the alternator twice, within 10,000 km.
Replaced the starter.
Front brakes need replacing, but the rotor retaining bracket is seized.
Inner roof lining is beginning to drop.
General comments?
The bottom end is moderate, but the top end is impressive from 90km/h to 150km/h.
Tops out at 165 km/h :(
Handles well at high speeds.
Achieves around 650-700 km per fill up.
