1988 Pontiac Bonneville LE review from North America
"Quick, Big, Fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stabilizer Bar Bushings Corroded (Rusted) through, and popped of while turning. 119,800.
Replaced Alternator 118,900.
Rust-Through on rear wheel-wells.
General comments?
This car really gets moving. It is amazing for a car this old, and this big to gain speed the way it does, and once you get it going, you better pray that your brakes are working, cause that thing just keeps going. 0-100 in approximately 16 seconds (when bottomed out)
Really comfortable car to be in.
Big trunk.
Quiet.
Paint is still good.
But the only downside to this car is that it eats a lot of gas as it is, but I like to open her up every time I get in, and believe me, if you own one, you know, you can watch that gas gage go down.
