1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"Vroom and room at less than 27K"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown engine, piston rod went THRU the side of the engine, at 23K miles.
Power moon roof won't open all the way. Dealer can't fix, after two attempts.
HUD brightness changes randomly.
Door panels pull away from the doors.
Tires wear fast.
General comments?
Performance is excellent. You can spin tires and burn rubber at will.
Great value, 27K for zero to 60 MPH in 6.8 seconds.
Lots of room.
GM should offer a passenger "heated seat" option.
Deluxe Bose system is excellent sounding. Much better than the cheaper radio with EQ.
