1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 3.8 supercharged from North America

Summary:

Awesome

Faults:

I recently bought my GTP, it's a 98, and I don't have that many miles on it, only 99k, and honestly I don't have any type of complaints, it's like the best car I ever owned.

Besides being awesome on its looks, the engine is the greatest.

In my opinion, it's the best investment I ever made on a car, and I am planning on keeping it until I get old.

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 3.8 liter supercharged from North America

Summary:

Absolutely the best performance bang for the buck available!!!

Faults:

Windshield needed to be resealed due to a slight leak.

Stereo was replaced when Compact disk player malfunctioned.

General Comments:

Superlative performance. Really a fun car to drive. Extremely responsive engine, the supercharger is a kick.

Handling could be a bit more precise, but really not bad for front-wheel drive.

Traction-control system is very functional in the rain and snow, or even just on loose gravel.

Brakes could be improved.

I completely agree with this posting I bought my 98 grand prix with 130,000 miles on it and it currently has 142,000 miles. I'm completely satisfied with this car and would recommend the purchase of a pontiac, as the cars are great and mines had no major problems.

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix SE from North America

Summary:

I've loved my car everyday I've driven it

Faults:

My left passenger side window refused to stay up.

I currently have acceleration difficulties. The rpm's rev up when sitting idle and there is a loud rattling noise. I'm concerned why this is happening. Is my super charger going bad? What might need to be replaced?

General Comments:

I love the acceleration capabilities and bought it for this reason.

There is ample trunk space.

Power steering has gone out.

Hoses have had to be replaced.

Problems with the headlights.

Electrical problems, both power windows have gone out.

General Comments:

It's a nice-looking, fun car to drive, however it has its bugs. Fortunately, all of the repairs were under warranty, but it has gone in for a warranty service 6 times in less than 3 years.

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 3.8 V6 SC from North America

Summary:

Cool

Faults:

Transmission shifts hard and slips. Code 1811 max adapt long shift, and another for the torque converter.

Going to replace the transmission and install a stand alone transmission cooler and a shift kit, as I read on Pontiac Grand Prix forums that this helps with those hard shifts. Hope this helps some people with their transmission questions.

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT from North America

Summary:

Style, reliability, and relatively inexpensive

Faults:

Both headlights filled with condensation.

Headlight covers have fallen off. The dealer replaced the first two under warranty, and I have replaced one out-of-warranty.

General Comments:

The car has been relatively trouble free with the exception of the headlight problems, and has provided good, reliable transportation.

I've found the Grand Prix to be a great car for the money.

I am having problems with the head lamp lenses fogging and just recently had one of the lense covers fall off. Where are any of these covers available from? I contacted the dealer, and he stated I needed to purchase an entire new head lamp assembly - for a lot of money.
