1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"The whole package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 95,000 miles my whole upper plentim had to be replaced.
After the first week I had the car the ignition did not release the key when it was in park.
Sunroof was touchy and didn't want to vent half the time so you had to pop it up with your hand and then open it.
Also, at 116,000 last night my car started fire and is now totalled... Transmission fluid leaked out somehow and got onto engine causing it to start fire while I was driving.
General comments?
Car is sporty and quick. Very roomy and comfy. Love it overall for the looks, gas mileage and price to maintain.. not very expensive at all.
