Review

Originally purchased with 132,000 - currently has 314,817 miles. Its on its 2nd water pump! The original got me to 313,000. Have replaced the IAC Valve, Alternator, BRAKES,Got 150k on my last set of tires. Its a tight car. Excellent road car unless you are a passenger. Car has the console mounted compass. My tip is to use Synthetic motor oil and the BEST filter you can get. I change the oil every 6k miles, but once went 16k. Had one wheel bearing replaced. Overall a great car.

Best I ever Owned

1990 Pontiac Grand Prix 2 Dr LE Coupe

Review

I have had many cars in my day, but my 90 Pontiac Grand Prix is the best I've had. She had 20000 miles when I bought her and now 12 years later and only 165000 I haven't spent hardly anything on her. Total since bought is: replaced alternator, replaced engine gaskets, 4 tuneups, 1 set brakes, 3 sets tires and thats it. Still running original clutch and exhaust. Wish I could find a new one as good. I'll keep her until she or I die, whichever comes first.

Favorite Features

Gas milage is excellent. Very comfortable to ride in.

Suggested Improvements

None

Old and solid

Review

The Grand Prix has been a very good car. It's very solid for 180,000 miles. Only did an alternator and tie rods, tune-ups,that kind of thing. Good runner and very quiet. Good mileage with a stick. Aging very gracefully and never a surprise.

Favorite Features

Solid, tight body for high mile GM car. Quiet/no wind noise. Old car still gets looks. Good quality clearcoat paint on mine (gray).Decent power.

Suggested Improvements

Somewhat poor rear visibility; parts of interior are gaudy/Cassette holder just weird looking. Surprisingly wide turning radius.

Grand Prix LE is my favorite first car

Review

This is a great vehicle, although the oil tends to leak and the radio tends to burn out easily. These are, however, small problems that are easily and inexpenively fixed. I have had a great time driving this vehicle as my first car, because of its fuel economy and acceleration.

Favorite Features

Acceleration, comfortable seating, quick defrosters, fuel economy

Suggested Improvements

Better stock radio, oil leakage prevention

My First Car

1990 Pontiac Grand Prix 4 Dr STE Sedan

Review

I recently bought my first car. It is a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix STE. This car is a beauty. I couldn't even believe it was a 90'! I feel spoiled by it and I brag to my friends about it.

Favorite Features

My favorite features are how everything is power and I can control everything.

Suggested Improvements

One thing the only thing I would change about it is that the parts are extremely hard to find and expensive.

Review

I have had this car for 10 years. Bought it with 22,000 miles and it now has 160,000. It has been driven all over the US, including Alaska where I bought, it with minimal expense. I have never had a car that performed this well.

Favorite Features

It is a very comfortable ride and the 5 speed transmission helps make it easy on gas. It has the original clutch still going strong.

Suggested Improvements

None. If only cars today were built this good.

Review

I have personally put the last 85000 hard miles on the car and it run as if it was new. It will outperform many newer cars on any day of the week. The only money i have really had to put in to the car was for normal up keep. I think that anyone that could buy on should. I am going out to buy another one but love this so much i wont trade it in. Anybody that thinks that Japanese made cars are better than American, obviously hasn't driven a pontiac.

Favorite Features

Radio on steering well, power inflated lumbar supported seats, the miniture computer

Suggested Improvements

It's perfect just they way it is
