1997 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Killer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the car the radio's volume button was broken, but I had the dealer install a new facotry radio. The battery died so I bought a new one. Other than that, the passenger power window makes noise when going up/down, I think the motor is shot.
General comments?
I like the car, it handles well in adverse conditions and always got me to my destination. The engine has good acceleration and the car brakes very well. driving in Florida isn't easy (old people) and the car's maneuverability has got me out of a lot of situations. if you take of of your car it will take care of you. it is my first car and I will buy from Pontiac again.
