1988 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Quick car, low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coolant line was eroded- replaced.
2 bad feul injectors- replaced.
Alternator replaced recently.
Worn seats.
New clutch.
General comments?
I'm happy to have a pretty rare GP, being that it's a 5 speed.
I wrecked it and have been rebuilding it, but the alignment is out of whack and is wearing the tires out pretty fast.
Very fun to drive, my exhaust broke at the muffler creating a straight-pipe effect.
I swear I will never buy an automatic trans. car... manual is too much fun.
I abuse this car when I drive it. I take turns at high speeds and launch at lights, and it still hasn't failed me.
I haven't found another GP SE like it anywhere, which is unfortunate. I'd really like another one.
