1995 Pontiac Grand Prix SE Coupe review from North America
"Great car if you take care of it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mufflers got rusted holes in them. Had to replace both.
Center consol lid had broken.
Condensation in the tail lights.
Solenoid acts up spontaneously.
General comments?
I bought this car Thanksgiving of '01 and it's been great. Went well through the Iowa winter and the 2nd gear start helped out tremendously. Has great performance, especially if you use it as a semi-manual. Has great handling at high speeds, except going a little too fast may cause the back end to fish a little. Not many choices for after-market, although I have put some parts to enhance performance. Great car and the only way I could think of mine performing any better is to have the GTP.
I plan to drive it until at least 100K miles, I believe it will work the exact same then.
