  • Excellent Car! - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This is an all around great car for someone looking for a sporty, comfortable, and affordable vehicle. The supercharger gives you a lot of punch when you need it, and it handles really well. Climbs steep hills with no problem. Im satisfied with the fuel economy.

    Been a great car. Only had one malfunction and that was an alternator had to be replaced. Over all mechanics have been great.

    The Pontiac Grand Prixs have the best performance in power and handling with out losing practicality. Not to mention the beautiful shape with aggressive curves.

  • Best car I have owned - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    My Pontiac Grand Prix was six years old when I bought it in 2004. It had been bought new by an elderly woman who only drove it to church on Sundays, and always kept it garaged. It had 17,000 miles on it. This car has been phenomenal. In the 4.5 years since I bought it, it has had no major repairs. Very reliable. Aside from reliability, the car is Very comfortable. It has all the options, leather, power, heated seats, excellent sound system. I have taken this car on several cross country trips, and the ride was considerably more comfortable than in my old Ford. Overall this car was an excellent buy. Comfy, reliable, fun to drive. I recommend.

  • OK, so it was a former Mary Kay car... - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    ...and it was pink and had the bare minimum feature set. It did safely deliver to me the 128k I love so much from Cleveland (where wed go to buy its replacement when it crapped out on us) and it didnt have the :-(analog) cellular network driven OnStar crap that Verizon Wireless can bollox up at will. What it didnt have was durability. It was reliable until it broke, but when it broke, it was shot and that was all there was to it. Needless to say we werent going to be burned by Pontiac a third time (my Grandmother had a Phoenix and it wasnt even reliable!) It did its bit, but Im glad its gone for scrap.

  • 98 GP GT Coupe - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This is my 3rd GP. I love this car, if only GM would use better quality interior parts. My door panel on the drivers side is loose, cheap plastic on dash. Engine gaskets are poor quality and Ive just had $1500.00 worth of work done on the engine due to leaky gaskets all over the place. Other than that, its a great car, fun to drive, looks hot with the dual exhaust...standard 17 inch rims would be great. Whats up the headlight assembly on these cars?? Mine is loose & wiggles around, was filling up with water every time it rained until I took to a repair shop the they silconed the edges to stop the leaks (the dealer would not fix this under warrently).

    water pump 550$ window reg $450 front valve cover gasket leaks supercharger noisy smells like burning oil at 65000 miles.

  • Well - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    A month after I bought the car, the both power windows went out. GM wants $315 per motor. You can find them online for $50 - $80. I bought a power motor online, and it wasnt an exact fit. Sent it back, and requested another one. Hopefully it will work. The car hesitates when pushing on the gas when it isnt warmed up. Im sure guy I bought it from warmed it up before I came since it didnt do that when I test drove it. Long story short, I wished I hadnt bought it.

  • Got a good one - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Bought this car new in November of 1997 and for the most part has been a very good car. I have 104K and all of the electronics, HUD, windows etc. are still working as new. Leather seats are in good shape. Still has decent power and comfortable to drive. When I test drove this vehicle I punched it down the length of the on-ramp of the freeway, bought it then and there! Repairs to date have been a new water pump and AC compressor (I live in Phoenix) and valve cover gaskets. I have a slight oil leak from the oil pan gasket but will probably just let it be. I like others love the HUD and controls on the steering wheel. I would gladly pay extra for these features on any car.
