1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"Best reliable, affordable, sporty car on the market!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car's acceleration was very abrupt and was just faulty spark plugs. after new plugs and wires the problem never resurfaced. other than that I have had absolutely no problem with the car.
General comments?
I love this car. It has never left me stranded and has always performed like the day I bought it.
I've always put premium BP fuel in it, and the oil is Mobil 1 synthetic, and is changed religiously at 10,000 miles.
I've changed the transmission fluid and filter every 20,000 miles with premium Mobil 1 synthetic trans fluid.
Its only on its second set of tires (Goodyear Eagle LS) and they have 80 percent tread left. I always rotate the tires every 4,000 miles, so they never wear unevenly.
I love the handling, acceleration and ride comfort so much that I would definitely buy a new one in about 7 or 8 years when this ones worn out.
