1997 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Awesome!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced water pump at around 110,000 miles, only needed regular maintenance, oil changes, tires, brakes. This car has survived 5 deer accidents and one fender bender. I wish the headlight were brighter.
General comments?
I love this car and will probably buy another if it ever dies, I drive it 50 miles each way to work and back everyday and it has never let me down. Handles like a dream and will cruise well over the speed limit all day long. It holds the road like it glued to it, even in bad weather. My last GP had almost 300K on it when I gave it to my nephew and I'm sure this one will beat that. It still drives like it did when I got it.
