1999 Pontiac Grand Prix 2 Dr GTP Sprchgd Coupe

Review

I bought the car with 3 miles on it. I took it home and used a hair dryer to remove the Cloisone GTP emblems. They came off clean as a whistle. This car has the BEST styling of any Grand Prix ever. The supercharger is a work of art! I have basically kept up with Trans Ams and dusted off most Firebirds and Camaros. The HUD is imperative! I wish it had a 6 speed! But overall, this car is a real sleeper! Competent enough in the twisties and better than most off the line and rolling on!

Favorite Features

The 3800 has proven to be one of the best GM motors ever built.

Review

We bought this car 7 months ago and ABSOLUTELY love it!!! It was a one owner car and VERY well taken care of! Even the body man at the dealership couldn't believe it was a 1999. It looks sooo much newer!! It rides like a dream and the gas milage is unbelievable! We plan on driving her down to Florida soon! The only problem we have had was a wheel bearing in the drivers side go and that has been it!! We LOVE this car soo much and would DEFINITELY buy another one!! We LOVE it that much!! There really is NOTHING bad we can say about this car! SHE'S BEEN GREAT!!!

Favorite Features

We LOVE everything about this car!! Gas milage is FABULOUS!!! And she looks sooo sporty even though it's a 4 door sedan!

Suggested Improvements

None that I can think of!!

Review

Bought this car with 34k miles and currently have 122k miles. Overall has been a great car. Had to replace 1 fuel injector and the fan controller around 80k miles. Replaced both front wheel bearings (did myself) around 110k miles. The engine and tranny have been flawless other than the 1 injector. The car has good interior and trunk space and love the looks. Finally starting to get a few squeaks here and there, but then again it has been through 10 Iowa winters and summers.

Favorite Features

Looks, Great performance, fun to drive and like the exhaust note. Decent stereo and reliability

Suggested Improvements

Passenger seat lumbar support standard. Rear seat a little more comfortable. Easier access to the rear sparkplugs.

Review

I purchased the 1999 Gold edition Grand Prix GT. Now with only 105,000 km that's right no error. I had to have the brake lines from the fire wall back all replaced. Was told Pontiac does not sell complete brake line assembly. That's a days work for the mechanic to install. The car has been undercoated also. The mechanic who did the job replaced all the brake lines in his 1999 Chevy pick-up. Unbelievable! For a 10 year-old car that's not even a daily driver. Now I have a hood release cable that doesn't work when its cold outside. If you can wrestle the hood open, afterward the hood will not close properly. Also I was warned to replace the rubber bush mounts (suspension), both left & right side.

Favorite Features

As long as I don't have to spend all my paycheck at the end of the week to drive the car on an ongoing basis.

Suggested Improvements

All GM products are built using the cheapest material. GM is the only manufacturer that uses more plastic than sheet metal on all its cars. All GM products bodies are chopped, channeled, and sectioned smaller. Makes for uncomfortable seating arrangements.
