1988 Pontiac Bonneville SSE review from North America
"A dream come true"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The MAS sensor was changed recently.
Other than that nothing so far.
General comments?
This car is so far the best car that I have driven, it is noticeably better than some of the newer cars.
Even with 250,000km it gets up and goes really quickly.
Has lots of power and still handles like a dream.
So far I have had no problems with it and I am so happy that I finally own one.
I got a great deal on it too, $1,000 Canadian, when book value is $4,000.
I hope that I am able to own the car until I am dead. I love it that much.
If anyone is reading this, and thinking of buying a Bonneville. Do it, you will not regret it.
