1993 Pontiac Bonneville SLE review from North America
"Good for an American Auto"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery was replaced.
ABS was uninstalled (filling lines with air).
Radio wheel controls failed.
Power locks failed.
Trunk prop failed.
Power antenna failed.
Sun glasses holder broke.
1 of 4 sun visors fell off.
Heated seats failed.
Driver seat leather is wearing badly.
Only 1 of 3 cigarette lighters work.
Cabin has started to leak water. I can't find the leak!
General comments?
This car impressed me. I bought the car after a telephone pole jumped in front of my Jetta :).
The car is going to hit 230k miles and it doesn't even burn oil. It's still very fast for its size. I clocked the 0 to 60 M.P.H and it's 2 seconds faster than my Jetta was. It's cheaper to tune up; $17 for wires, compared to VW's $80; so that made me happy.
Overall it's a great car. I'm surprised there is no rust, since my area roads are salted during winter.
Because of everything the car has been through, its been nicknamed "The Bonnerville".
