1982 Pontiac Bonneville review from North America
"Glad to see it go"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thermostat went bad at 128000 miles.
General problems with cooling and fuel systems.
AC didn't work.
General comments?
My family took this car on vacation in 1994 to Maryland in the middle of the summer. During this trip, the thermostat went bad and left us sitting for hours at the garage.
Paint was an ugly two-tone blue.
Rear window from factory did not go down. Thus, this car was an inferno during the summer months.
This was 2nd Bonneville of 3. I would buy another, but not because of this car.
