1998 Pontiac Grand Prix User Reviews

I Would Buy It All Over Again — What a dream. The Grand Prix was a white 4-door torpedo that drew as many stares as compliments. The naturally-aspirated 3.8L V6 was smooth and powerful, delivering exciting performance and mid-20s economy in mixed driving, and made nice noises under hard acceleration. Knifing through traffic was a cinch and the console- mounted shifter gave complete control of the gears. The leather seats were comfortable if a bit thin on padding, interior quiet, a/c very strong. The stereo and interior trim were excellent. The factory Goodyear Eagle LS rubber was whisper quiet with good grip. Best all- around domestic luxo-coupe ever!

I Love Being Noticed In It, But Hate The Build. — I am the second owner to my car. Looks sexy ( I baby the outside and inside of my car) does better on gas mileage now that I have fixed almost everything in the fuel system (not cheap). The downfalls; These cars are TERRIBLE for overheating, even sitting in idle. The thermostat takes forever to open and the radiators are prone to cracking. Be prepared; if you replace the radiator everything else in the cooling system that wasn't replaced will go bad. Has faulty sensors sometimes. If you even run the car down to E before filling up, expect to replace the whole fuel system because the car will die. I'm not impressed with this car and if one thing goes wrong...something else does. The only good thing about this car is that it is comfortable and stylish (maybe thats all GM was going for)

My Daily Driver Pontiac Grand Prix Gtp — This is an excellent all around veichle. It is a nice mixture of luxury and speed. It handles like a slot car, and is very responsive in any given situation. The excelleration with the supercharger is second to none; the only difference I can tell between this and a eight cylinder veichle, is that the exaust doesn't have the aggressiveness in tone of a V8. Other than that, it is exceptionally quick; handles well, and is an excellent car overall. There was some issues at the beginning when I purchased this veichle, however, warranty has taken care of it. Since the car has clicked over 100K miles, I have had issues with leaking headlight and taillight assemblies on the exterior; mechanical issues have been standard on a car used as a daily driver. Had replaced original rotors with drilled and slotted along with ceramic brake pads; definate upgrade for this car. Literally have driven this car hard for extended periods of time. Have driven it across the country, and back and forth everywhere. It has been pretty much bulletproof, and I would recommend it to anyone. Would like to retire it in the future and replace it with a new Pontiac G8.

My Fab Car! — So this car handles very well and has lasted wonderfully for being 10 years old and having little checks by women who don't know about cars. When clean it looks amazing. The only downfall of this car would be the fact that under the hood it is backwards and changing anything becomes a hassle an must be done professionally.

My Baby — I bought my Grand Prix new. It was my first brand new car. I have had it for 10 years and still do not like any other car more. I have only had to replace the supercharger. Its downfalls are it has big tires so they are expensive to replace. It is a race car so you can feel the road. I would have prefered a little smoother ride but still after 10 years, I do not want to trade it in for anything out there now.
