1995 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"Excellent toy for me to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced air compressor 3 times, WE LIVE IN ARIZONA, THAT HAS TO BE WHY??
Had oil pump leak.
Replaced 3 batteries to date (May 2002)
Altenator has been replaced 3 times, heat related.
Power Antenna would not raise last year.
Window on drivers side won't go up after being lowered at drive thur's.
Ignition failure, won't start some times, had ignition wires changed out at dealer.
Engine compartment is too cramped to do any work outside of dealership. And is the most major heating problem for us here in Arizona. This area is always hot even in the winter time.
General comments?
Love this car, and will keep it forever. It is very fast, and sporty. It has ran very well with a corvette on a winding road, doing in excess of 115mph. Kept up with him with no problem. Only 2 of us on board, 1 driver and 1 screaming passenger (wife). Took curves at 90mph when posted at 45, ran at 120 mph for long period of time, until Arizona DPS was spotted. He turned his lights on to let me know he was there, but decided to leave me alone, after seeing stop light lit for several hundered feet. I behaved after that. Ran 44 mile distance in 25 minutes. I LOVE THIS CAR, AND DO TAKE CARE OF IT, ONLY RUN LIKE STATED ABOVE ONE OR TWICE A YEAR TO HAVE FUN, AND HEAR THE WIFE SCREAM.
