1989 Pontiac Bonneville SE review from North America
"Very fun and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I have rebuilt the transmission.
The guy that I bought it from had just rebuilt the engine and replaced the brake master cylinder.
Other than that, not much except normal maintenance and a paint job... the clear coat was peeling off.
General comments?
This is the first car I have ever owned that just "fit" me. I will miss her when she is gone, after almost a quarter of a million miles though she is still going strong.
All of the small things still work (gauges, interior lights, warning lights, etc). I have been VERY impressed!
