1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"The Grand Prix, with all of its standard features, is one fantastic steal for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trans-axle went within 1,000.00 mile re-manufactured replacement still going strong.
Plenum has been replaced twice.
Rack and pinion recalled and repaired.
Rack leaked later (conveniently out of warranty) out of pocket $1,000.00.
Driver side rear power window regulator and motor broke at 30,000.
AC/Heater Blower replaced at 95,000.
General comments?
This car has enough classic looks to make it a collector’s item.
After 100,000 miles my GT performs like the very the day I drove it off the lot.
Cloth seats and interior show little signs of wear.
I liked it so much the we also bought the 2002 GT version.
