1993 Pontiac Bonneville SE review from North America
"Amazing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Before I purchased the car, the engine was replaced because of person that owned it prior to me ran it out of oil and seized the motor. The new motor only had 65,000 miles on it when I purchased the car.
The alternator went at 173,987 miles, as did the heater core and the thermostat gasket.
The car has a brand new radiator and hoses.
The temp gauge stop working, but I purchased a custom sunpro gauge.
The sway bar links went at 174,000, as did the front engine mount.
General comments?
I absolutely fell in love with the car when I saw it. It looks very sporty and is pretty reliable for a high milage car.
I purchased the car for $1,500.00; it drives like new.
And the 3.8 litre V6 thinks it's a V8, and is very peppy and quick, and will smoke all the little 4 cylinders.
I have a cherrybomb exhaust and cold air intake.
The seats are very comfortable and the ride is smooth, but it still handles great.
And the cabin makes you feel like you're driving a very high end car with all of the 6 gauges spread across the dash, all the way to the glove box.
I love the cars sporty lines and the amount of power.
