1990 Pontiac Grand Prix LE 3.1 from North America
Summary:
No wonder there are a ton on the road
Faults:
I had to get a new fan belt tensioner. The crank pulley also needed to be replaced. That was no fun.
It leaks a little oil and used to leak a little transmission fluid, but then it stopped leaking. I thought well a car that can stop leaking, I really like that.
General Comments:
I've had to spend some money on the maintenance of this car, and that would normally really bother me. But in this case I still really love this car. It looks fun, it is fun, yet it is totally functional. It's comfortable for 5 people and also has a nice ride.
As 23 year old, I can now understand why the entire adult population doesn't drive Mustangs and Camaros. These cars are more fun when you factor in the practicality side. Something I couldn't even contemplate at 16.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

My 1996 Grand Prix had coolant problems as well. Just had the head gasket replaced to the tune of $385.
The dash light bulb is burnt out on the radio. I understand the entire radio has to be sent in to replace a board on it to the turn of a minimum $75.
The light on the steering column is burnt out. No bulb to replace, you must replace an entire unit.
The light on the gear column is burnt out. What's the scoop with that?
