1998 Pontiac Grand Prix

Pros: nice looks, decent power, low insurance, good in snow
Cons: relatively slow, mediocre elsewise

Overview With the thinning of the sports car ranks, more and more people are looking to Pontiac's performance mentality to give them something powerful and sporty that can also double as a daily driver. In my opinion, no car fits that descriptio ...

Pros: Styling, features, acceleration (supercharged engine), HUD, comfortable seats
Cons: Noisy, not dependable, shoddy build quality (inside and out), squeaks and rattles galore

Introduction The Pontiac Grand Prix is just one of the many GM cars based on the "W body" platform. This platform has been around since the late 1980's, and this generation of the Grand Prix is based on the second generation of this ...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Premium Unleaded requirement

I love my GTP! For the money, this is an incredibly powerful vehicle with loads of electronic goodies. I bought this car new in the middle of the 1998 GM strike (which cost a bit more than normal, but hey, I needed a car *then*) for just over $25,000....

Pros: One of a kind Pace Car
Cons: 1 electrical glitch

When it was time to trade in my 1992 Grand Prix, I have to admit I had second thoughts about buying another Pontiac. I had had several problems with the electrical system in my '92 which was the whole reason for trading it in. I went ahead and at...

Pros: fast!, good handling, sleek looks, very smooth and comfortable
Cons: poor transmission, window motors

I bought my 98 GTP in December of 1997. When I picked it up, I was very impressed with the looks and performance of the car. This car has more acceleration than most new cars I've been in, and the handling is great. The array of features that come...

Pros: Looks nice
Cons: All over performance is terrible

I decided to buy my Pontiac Grand Prix because I loved the body style and the features that came with it for the price I was getting. It was one of the worst decisions of my life. The car gets terrible gas mileage, no one but a mechanic can work on...

Pros: Great looks and feel
Cons: Headlights

The 1998 Grand Prix GT is a driver's car. I have had two minivans and a Suburban just before this, and when I drove it I loved it instantly. Mine has all the options except sunroof and Heads Up Display. I find it so comfortable to drive that I rarely use...

Pros: POWER, looks, handling, stereo, paint quality, transmission
Cons: premature leather wear, premium gas

The date, October 1998. I had a new job and was making considerably more money and my first thought - new car. I looked around and since insurance costs kept me out of a Z28, I thought Grand Prix GTP. Two door. Red. Tan leather. CD player. I must...

Pros: Exterior looks/heads up display/service
Cons: None that I have discovered

Our 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP is better than several luxury cars on the streets. The striking exterior design attracts attention. Sun roof or moon roof adds distinction. The polished aluminum wheel covers keep everybody looking as my son drives...

Pros: Performance, Power, Style
Cons: none yet

Not long ago I was car shopping with a friend and was fortunate enough to test drive a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. This was an exceptionally nice ride. Being that it was a GT series and newer I imagined that it would be fast and it lived up to my...

Pros: It's a great value for the money
Cons: You will spend most of your time in the shop getting it fixed

I purchased a 1998 Grand Prix GT in 1997 and have had nothing but problems since. The brakes did not function properly, the moonroof was installed incorrectly, the car died 2 times within the first 5 months of owning the vehicle (because of improperly...

Pros: Fast, powerful, handling, comfortable, good looking, reliable, packed with features
Cons: Poor power window motors, needs passenger seat warmer

This car is fast. You FEEL the 240 hp 3.8L Supercharged V6 under the hood, and it corners with the best of them.

Unlike some of the other epinions I've read here, I think this car is extremely comfortable... leather, lumbard feel in the...

Pros: reliable, smooth, comfortable and V6 power
Cons: some plastic used looked a bit cheap

I owned a 1998 Grand Prix SE for two and a half years until it was totaled in a crash in February. First off, I would like to state that this car was rock solid in a crash. Both my wife and I were completely safe in the cabin, the soft deploy air bags...

Pros: Power, fun to drive, reliable, definitely not your 'normal sports sedan'
Cons: Minor bugs, some colors discolor (i.e. white)

I had a short amount of time with my former Grand Prix GT. I purchased the car in March 1998, it was brand new. And I had it a year and a half when it got totalled in a freak accident.

Anyhow, I was born and raised a Ford Man. Grew up with...

Pros: A good combination of performance, ride, space, looks, and reliability for the bucks
Cons: Cheap plasticky dash, seats unsupportive, too much plastic body molding

I got lucky once more! This is my second Pontiac product in two decades (the last, a 1983 6000STE was/is bullet proof and is still running around town!. I have few complaints about reliability and other very minor maintenance problems (electric window ...
