1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"This is a great overall car gives you a little bit of everything"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got this car with 88300 miles on and I had the car about a week and the low battery light came on, but the dealership told me the owner before me had put a new one in before they gave it to the dealership so the alternator went bad and got that replaced. That is the only thing that went wrong with the car so far.
General comments?
This car has great torque off the line which gives it good acceleration.
Since it is a automatic transmission its acceleration is limited to a point.
When I push the car to high speeds it takes forever to get it up to a hundred-ten miles per hour. I've beaten Nissan 300Zx's, eighties firebirds, and other imports in this car.
I love the way this car handles it has a really nice stick to the ground.
This is a good first car for someone to own. I get about 22 miles per gallon so it isn't bad on gas fillups.
