1998 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"A pleasant surprise!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased the car from a used car dealership with warranty. The car had been abused before I bought it and dealer agreed to fix any faults:
Traction control computer replaced.
General comments?
I am pleased and surprised about this car! I got it for more elbow room for my kids, yet the sporty look, and power for me. We all got what we wanted! I have put some miles on it in the past year and the handling actually makes the road trips enjoyable! This car cuts through rain, snow and traffic and has no problem getting out of it's own way. The comfort is OK, but I wish the seat backs were a little more soft. The car is well worth the price I paid for it and more! Besides routine maintenance, the only thing I have to fix right now, is an oil leak by the crank case cover.
