1998 Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8 from North America
Summary:
Looks good, but doesn't stand the test of time
Faults:
Oil is leaking into the coolant (but there's no coolant in the oil at this point) ---110,000 miles (maybe earlier).
My heat/defrost don't work continuously (105,000 miles).
My battery/alternator went out (while driving down the highway) @ 95,000 miles.
The car burns oil (since before I owned it).
New transmission added to car (before I purchased it).
Automatic starter died (est. 100,000 miles).
General Comments:
This car is aesthetically pleasing.
I enjoy the Cd player and steering wheel radio/volume controls.
Handles well in the rain and snow compared to a smaller vehicle, especially thanks to its wider track.
At the end of the day, I would not recommend this vehicle.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
