1989 Pontiac Bonneville LE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 160K miles have gone through:
1 starter.
1 timing belt.
4 electronic coil modules (3 replaced under warranty).
When this goes out the car will not to start in cold damp weather.
Normal brake repair/maintenance.
General comments?
This car has been driven into the ground and still continues to run. Overall a good car that is responsive. Seems that this year has problems with starters/coil modules. Would buy another if the prices of the new models weren't so obscene.
