1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America

When I first purchased the car, it had a bad oil leak; however, it was fixed by the dealer. Next, the computer went out, but this too was covered by the dealer. Those two problems occurred before 60,000 miles. Next, I had to replaced a switch for the driver's side window, that would not go up (80,000 miles). Thereafter, some fuel sensor went out in the engine that cost me about $300 (90,000 miles). The kicker, however, was when the engine threw a rod at 100,000 miles. I had to get a whole new engine--$3,600. Now, the damn car only gets 20 miles a gallon, and I drive the car like an old lady. The dealer said that's normal and there's nothing they can do about it. I just love those guys at dealerships. They always take the easy way out and they've always experienced the problem you're having, and it's normal.

For all the problems I've had with this car, I love it. I think it's the nicest two-door car on the road (aside from really exotic cars). I get a lot of comments on it, and my next car will probably be the new Pontiac GTO.
