1998 Pontiac Bonneville SE review from North America
"A large, sporty, powerful car that is well balance between a family sedan and a sporty cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Several sensors were replaced having caused the "check engine" light to come on.
Transmission valve failure caused car to stall at every stop at about 60,000 miles.
Intake manifold/gasket failure at about 65,000 miles.
General comments?
Comfortable highway cruiser.
Powerful and sure footed.
Responsive handling for its size.
Nicely appointed and overall good value for a larger car.
