1988 Pontiac Bonneville SSE review from North America

"The Mafia Sentinel"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The Hydra-Boost went out for the brakes.

Seats worn out.

Paint faded and sun burnt.

Seat massager's went out.

Replaced steering wheel cover.

General comments?

The car looks just like a mafia sentinel, even though the paint is faded out. Sleek shape for a four door car.

The car responds at the drop of a hat and corners like it's nobodies business. The tires grip the road on hard turns without a hint of a squeal.

The trusty 3.8 liter v6 runs flawlessly, and starts on a seconds notice, even on the coldest days.

The transmission is a little rough going into second and third gear, but it doesn't slip or kick.

Gas mileage is golden-I get back and forth to work twice on 3 bucks! (That's alitle less than 2 gallons here)

The interior is more luxurious than my friends brand new Cadillac, and the dash has more lights and gizmos than a space shuttle. The digital compass and driver information report any problems that come up; if a turn signal bulb goes out I'll know about it. Thick leather bucket seats with built in seat massager's in 8 places provide premium comfort for passenger and driver. The wood grain dash is pimp.

Nice secret compartments in the headrests for stowing small items.
