1993 Pontiac Bonneville SE review from North America
"This car is a tremendous bargain for strong performance and economic use"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the alternator at about 125,000 miles.
I replaced the throttle sensor control at 145,000 miles.
I have put a new water pump on at 156,000 miles.
The radio volume control button stuck at 130,000 miles, so I put a new aftermarket radio into the car.
Just before I bought the car the previous owners put a brand new transmission in at 92,000 miles.
General comments?
This car for its size is very quick because of its strong V6.
I am 6'-6" tall, and this car is incredibly comfortable with its roomy interior and great headroom with the power seats. FINALLY I can be comfortable in a car!
I think the styling of the car is beautiful and racy with the spoilers and its great design.
I like the dark royal blue paint, which has held up incredibly well to have only been waxed one good time since I bought it.
The seats are starting to wear a little, but they are still looking good.
For such a good peppy engine this car is extremely economical (23 normal mpg, 28 on the highway).
