1995 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Good performance, but it high maintance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Around 65000, transmission started to slip.
- Around 67000, the evaporator went.
- Around 77000, rear passenger shock/strut broke.
- Radio could never pick up stations well
- The car ran hot (about 210 to 220) from the beginning and it burned about a quart of oil every 3,000 miles
- Lost coolant, this got progressively worst.
General comments?
- Very poor stopping power and it ate pads and rotors.
- All problems listed above could be fixed under warranty, but the dealer was the worst. When they fixed something, two days later it broke again and something else broke too.
- Although it had many annoying problems it still handled well for a FWD vehicle and it got wicked gas mileage on the highway (approx. 32mph)
