1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"A piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just had the transmission rebuilt. It cost $2228. Yeah I think I got ripped off there! Of course warranty only covered $1000 of it, I had to pay $1200!
Just took it in today to have my squeeky brakes looked at, only to find out I'm leaking engine coolant like crazy! Apparently I need a new Rad now! Isn't that great!!!
Got a blown passenger fog light. Condensation like crazy in the front headlights (headlight covers, cover that up real good!)
Only had this car for a month and a couple days and I'm ready to put it up for sale! What a piece of junk!
General comments?
Rides smooth (now), nice interior! Heads up display is a nice touch.
As for under the hood, REALLY CHEAPLY BUILT!!
