1993 Pontiac Bonneville SSE review from North America
"A decent touring car that can carry the family, the golf clubs and do it in reasonable style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced A/C system @ 140K, upgraded to R134A and Replaced Transmission @ 155K.
General comments?
This is really an awesome automobile considering what it is. It is not an exotic in any way, but holds it's own in terms of performance, reliability and comfort. This car has a surprising amount of performance. Acceleration and handling are very decent for a large car, braking is not too exciting, expect lots of nose-dive and longer stop times. The interior features tons of storage room and the seats are fantastic. My wife's car is a 1997 Seville STS and I really prefer the SSE for overall comfort. The OEM Stereo system is surprisingly great. I feel safe and comfortable while driving this car. It cruises happily at 90 MPH and will top out at considerably higher. Also, at reasonable highway speeds I get close to 30 MPG.
