1979 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham review from Switzerland
"A great car and a good investment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wiper switch had to be changed 2 weeks ago. The wipers wouldn't stop whatever the position of the switch was.
Automatic Climate Control mode selector melted 3 weeks ago. The A/C still works, but only on low fan speed... I'm still looking for the part.
A/C fan needs to be changed. It makes noises, but works.
My head gasket are dead at 110000.
General comments?
This is one of the best car I've ever owned even if I don't own it for a long time I know all the previous owners.
The car never had any troubles. It drives smoothly, the steering is so soft and the car moves so easily and is so comfortable.
It can go almost anywhere and has a good mileage for its size and the topography here in Switzerland.
I love this car and it just need a new paint job to be perfect.
