1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"Definitely built for driver!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both front sensors went, costing $1300.oo to fix.
Brakes needed replacing.
Panel on driver's side neaded to be replaced, something wrong with circuit board. Cost $200.00.
Heater motor seems to need service. Still blows heat or A/C, but is really loud when turned up high.
Windshield washer fluid hose keeps popping off.
Transmission gaskit replaced, $200.00.
General comments?
We love our car! Very powerful and fun to drive. Nice dash. Heads-up display is a nice convenience.
People always comment that there is lots of room in the back and we often have 5 people in our car. Generally whether in front or back, an enjoyable ride.
Even though a Honda may be considered more reliable, it is really nice when young guys in their Hondas rev their engines beside you, because they want to see what your car can do. Personally I would get bored with a Honda and I love my car. It's fun and you only live once.
