1988 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"This car is wonderful, efficiant, and awesome to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
3 months after I bought it the fan quit working.
Leather on drivers seat is worn.
8 months after buying the car both rear calipers locked up and I had to replace them.
I had to replace the radio.
I had to replace the headlamp switch.
Spark plug wires had to be replaced (and they had the origanal ones on them until 2001).
General comments?
This is an awesome car, it has graet handling on corners and can out accelerate many sport cars (like the 5.0 mustang for example).
This car is not easy to add accessories to though. It was a real challenge for me to add a CD player to it.
I have had no major problems (besides the rear brakes) with this car. most of the part are origanil.
This car is loaded with every option they had in that year and it is a lot of fun to drive, very comfotable, and turns a lot of heads.
The compass/imformation center is very helpful, it tell you when to service the car, rotate the tires, change the oil/filter, how many miles you have left on your tank.
