Overview & Reviews

The Grand Prix gets more muscle for '99 with low-restriction air-induction components giving the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter V6 five more horsepower, to 200. This engine is standard on the GT (sedan and coupe) and optional on the SE sedan. A traction control indicator and on/off button are now standard on GTP models. Minor revisions are in order inside, with front-door courtesy lamps and a six-speaker sound system now standard, and an eight-speaker Bose audio unit and OnStar mobile communications system optional. Outside, a rear deck spoiler is standard on the GT model, and two colors have been added to the 1999 exterior paint chart.

• Strong powertrains, sporty styling, fun to drive.

• Overstyled interior, cheap-looking dashboard plastic.

  Grand Prix GT Coupe - 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By antihero70 - November 18 - 10:36 am

  This car has been amazing since the date of purchase. Currently at 200,000 Km. Ive only owned rear wheel drive vehicles before so going into a front wheel drive was going to require an adjustment but this car feels like it is RWD with power on tap and it never lets me down. Only repair issue was the front end snapped ($2000 repair job from GM) but thats been it for 6 years of ownership. Not like the average GM vehicle, brakes actually last for a long time, no head gasket issues, transmission doesnt kick, interior plastic parts havent snapped off yet!! Another great thing is the amount of aftermarket parts for this car (projector headlights, body skirts, spoilers...)

  A drivers car! - 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By GRTFUN - October 23 - 12:43 am

  I really enjoy the great handling, heads up display, the way it hugs the curves, and the heated leather seats. My car was fully loaded and well taken care of. No complaints.

  Batmobile, Tank, Grand Prix Coupe - 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By midwestboiler - September 17 - 4:49 pm

  This was my first car, and it was a great first car. Unfortuneatly, I was rear ended and ultimately had the car totaled. The time that I had it though, was very enjoyable. First, a V-6 engine allows for this car to be borderline over the top with power, but that didnt bother me. The problem with all of the power was that the car averaged about 18 mpg. The 12 gallon tank also forced me to have to fill up more often than I would have liked. I had leather seats and they were very comfortable. It was very easy to carry 4 passengers in the car. While the doors were huge, it allowed much easier access to the back seat.

I have enjoyed the car, but am getting tired of it. The car now has significant squeak and rattle and the exterior is showing signs of rust. I will drive the vehicle until the next transmission failure, which I anticipate at 200k.

  THIS CAR ROCKS - 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Pontiac Fan - May 24 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. The styling still looks great after five years. Its got all the power Ive ever needed. I can place it anywhere in traffic that I need to thanks to that engine. The only issue I have is that since Ive passed the 90,000 mile mark, Im starting to have mechanical parts wear out every 4- 6 weeks. If the recent mechanical problems dont continue, Ill be thrilled to own this car for many more years. I wish they were still making this style Grand Prix!

  Falling apart - 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Jaws - April 2 - 12:03 am

  I have had the transmission rebuilt twice. The fuel economy is poor. I have had numerous electrical problems including window motors and heating vent motors and brake lights, all very expensive. I also have a Pontiac Bonneville and would never buy another GM car.

  Nice car - 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By riker93 - March 18 - 3:31 am

  I just bought this car Feb. 8, 2013, so I havent had it long enough to report any major problems. It runs great, and was well taken care of by previous owner. It looks almost new, no rust and the engine is so quiet. It handles very well, and takes off quickly. Gas mileage isnt bad, so Im not spending too much there. Its got all the options I could think of, so as long as I continue to take care of it, Im hoping to get a lot of miles out of it.
