Advantages: Sporty, not bad on gas Disadvantages: Haven't experienced any

Recently, I bought a used 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix. It only had 93,000 Kms on it. I am really impressed with the car. It handles great in the city and even better on the highway. When I bought the car I was expecting to get a winter beater but, this turned out to be a very reliable vehicle. Considering the year and size of the car, it is still fairly good on gas. It still has the factory stereo system in it, which has great bass and sound. This vehicle would make a great family car. I personally use it travel back and forth to work. I'm not really used to drive a bigger car although, the Grand Prix handles like a smaller vehicle. I would recommend the Pontiac Grand Prix to anybody looking for a reliable vehicle for a family or for personal use.
Advantages: good fuel economy, high performance, sporty looks, and infinite buying options Disadvantages: speeding tickets

Initial goals when i made the purchase included higher engine performance, greater gas mileage, and a sporty look which i found in no short supply with the Grand Prix.

The supercharged 3800 V6 which comes stock on my GTP edition (the stock model comes with the standard 3800) is a road rocket, and i mean a top end speed nearing 155 ( i've done it) and a 0-6 in excess of any car within its price range. My model is a 2 door coupe and with the edition of some low profile wheels and tires maintains a sporty look that just looks mean in all black. The insides are incredibly spacious and provide ample ...

has a better version of the LS1 engine that is on the f-body cars, and Mustang SVT Cobra is the highest model pony Ford builds. Everything else is just toast.
So why are these cars failing? Well, I blame GM more than anyone else. The Corvette C5 went through a superb re-modeling. It got better suspension and a computerized handling system that makes it one of the best sports cars in the world. What happened to Camaro? Its hood got a redesigned. Its engine went through a low emissions standard check. The suspension remained the same, and so did the interior. What happened to Firebird? Well, PontiacGrand AM and Prix went through a complete remodeling and a major add campaign. Firebird got an oil change.
The interior of the F-bodies are also to be blamed. Mainly the back-seats. I would say don't buy a sports car if you care about back ...
