1995 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America

"A speedy, stylish Deathtrap"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Accelerator cable snapped shortly after I bought the car; I believe this is because it wasn't sitting right on the throttle, as accelerator resistance decreased dramatically after I rigged it with a bass string & small nut & bolt. Replacement cable was about $15, but I never got to install it due to short duration of ownership.

Rust starting on driver's door hinge.

Minor leak around power steering pump that I never identified.

General comments?

I only possessed this vehicle for two weeks and about 500 miles, due too bad choices and broken legs, if you know what I mean, but I wanted to review it because I was pretty impressed with how well the 3.1 liter engine pulled, even with 110k miles on it.

I took it up to about 110 MPH on the freeway, and the steering & suspension performed beautifully - smooth and responsive, I love how these light Pontiacs stick to the road. Predictably enough, however, I found this vehicle to be ill-equipped for 80 MPH off-roading.

I also wish to give high marks to the airbag system, as I emerged from this vehicle at an unknown point during five and a half head-over-tail flips, according to the police report, with no head or neck injuries.

PS: Remember to wear your seat belt, unless you wish to experience the joys of laying in a hospital bed with a fractured hip, and having nurses wipe your ass.
