1993 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi review from North America

The heater fan needed a new control module.

Previous owner wore a big whole into the driver's side leather seat.

Steering wheel controls for radio light up but don't work..

Anything that went wrong was basically wear and tear and were known problems that were cheap and easy to fix.

This was the best car I have ever owned. It handled like a Porsche, it had the power of a big V8, I got 38mpg on the highway which more than made up for the price of premium. It was comfortable and very easy to drive and maneuverable for a large car... I would recommend one to anyone who is willing to take car of such a special and rare car. If someone owns one they should join one of the many SSEi/Bonneville forums. They are easy and cheap to work on. The engine, with proper care and up-keep, WON'T die and will easily go well over 200k miles. ---And just so everyone knows, I saw someone say that they need 97 octane fuel, that actually makes the gas mileage and performance worse. They were designed to run on 91. It's been tested and that's what you run in it... higher test gas won't hurt it, but it doesn't have any benefits what-so-ever and lower than 91, the car won't be happy.
