  Hard to Follow - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By TAKerr - January 1 - 10:00 am

  American cars have come a long way. My Pontiac Grand Prix has been such a pleasant surprise! Its has such wonderful features, like the heads-up display, that would normally come in a much more expensive car. In the four and a half years that Ive owned it, I have not had one thing go wrong. I just love it. Unfortunately, the new Nissan Altima I just purchased just doesnt measure up. Its a nice car, but Im going through withdrawals from the Grand Prix. Its just a hard act to follow.

  Going back to foreign - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Disgusted - December 26 - 2:20 am

  This car is by far the biggest loser Ive ever purchased. Problems started at 28K miles and continue today: Cloudy headlight lenses, rear window motor, rear window motor switch, 2 alternators, steering rack, oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets, heads up display, stereo display (twice), water pump, front hub bearing, windshield seal coming out, rear window exterior trim coming off. You might think Im just a person that doesnt take care of a car, but Im a maintenance and detail fanatic! Thought Id be a good American but shame on me, Im going back to foreign. Actually, no...shame on Detroit and the overpaid CEOs that allow crap like this to be sold to Americans! My Toyotas never did this!

  A Good Car for the Money - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By G. Chan - October 8 - 9:43 pm

  I bought this car from the original owner when it had 107,xxx miles. The previous owner had taken an excellent care of it. When I bought it, it came with the complete maintenace history of the car. I drive from Pocatello, Idaho to Phoenix, Arizona about 3 times a year, and it gives me no problem. At times, I would just drive 14 hours straight, no problems at all. Until one day, the intake manifold was leaking. My dad, a GM mechanic, told me that the car needed a new re-designed intake. It was very expensive to replace even tho my dad bought me the parts. but overall, the car has been great for the money.

  nice gtp - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By silver01 - August 8 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car new in feb of 98. It has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. It gets about 22 MPG. It corners well and has great acceleration. Also, there is plenty of low end torque with the push rod 3.8 fed by the blower.

  Just wish it was faster - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By edwin - July 16 - 10:20 am

  I dont have a lot of complaints about the car. I got a really good deal on it, the car only had 50,000 miles on it when I bought it. For the most part it handles well for a front wheel drive. I really think it would have given out a lot more if they would have made the car a rear wheel drive. I also think the car lacks performance but a few adjustments cant fix. The car seems to be pretty reliable. So far all Ive had to do is get a new battery but Im pretty sure the old one had about ten years on it.

  Very Reliable Car - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By jet_dr969 - July 14 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car to get back and forth to school in back in 98 and besides brakes, tires and a battery it has been very reliable. I thought someone had vandalized it the other day but it turns out the headlight lens just fell off. They are apparently good for about 5 years. A word of caution, when replacing the headlight be very careful with the turn signal assembly! They go for about $110 and I found out the hard way.

  Sad BUT true :-/ - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By True Voice - May 22 - 6:23 am

  Good gas mileage, handling, acceleration, and sharp looking black. HOWEVER, AFTER 60k miles "GM" has poor quality parts!!....GM customer service WILL NOT help or assist in repairs!!... 3 window motors broke, 2 out of 4 select switches broke for AC fan , transmission slips on cornering! Paint on hood and roof wore off!! Seats are hard. IF enough people complain about this the NEWS will get out over the networks and then our US CAR builders WILL WAKE UP.

  Great Car - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By nice car - April 3 - 2:26 pm

  I got this car for free since it was no longer accommodating for my Dad (the very low seating position and getting in and out is difficult when your 72 years old and have hip/knee problems). Replaced all the brakes and rotors (all 4 were warped...no idea why). Put in about $200 for parts and did the work myself. Only problems now are non-functioning electric window on rear passenger side and an oil leak (one from sending unit and a rear main seal). I dont plan to fix these since I dont ride in the back seat (sorry passenger) and the oil leak will probably be expensive....I will fix it if it is just the oil sending unit....wont do it if it is the rear main seal. Got the car 9 months ago

  98 GP GTP - 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By lradue - December 17 - 2:00 am

  This car is fun to drive. It has lots of power, good handling, and very reliable. The gas mileage isnt the best, but you should expect that with a supercharged 3.8L engine. I would recommend this car to anyone and I plan to get another one after this one dies on me.
