2003 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"Service and satisfaction do not seem to rank high on GM's list."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver's seat, leather and 6-way adjustable, is mounted too high and my head touches the roof, but GM accepts no responsibility to date.
There is a funny noise in the steering just as you start driving (like rubbing, but not rubbing).
General comments?
The engine performance of the car is very good.
The handling isn't bad either although it is a bit soft for a "sports sedan".
The interior is quite nice except for the grey, cheap looking plastic on the console, dash, door handles, and window/lock controls.
The driver's seat is not designed properly from an ergonomic point of view. In order for my head not to touch the roof, the seat must be adjusted down towards the back, and the backrest tilted forward. Makes me feel like I'm folded in half, and my back is killing me.
