1989 Pontiac Bonneville SSE review from North America

"Overall, this is the best car I have owned and I plan to keep it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The heating unit sometimes does not start immediately, but will start many minutes after I begin driving. This is a huge problem for me as the winters can be as cold as -40C where I live.

Once in awhile the seat adjustment buttons do not work.

The power windows are very slow and occasionally can't make it all the way up without some help.

If it is colder than -20C occasionally the power locks do not work and I have to go around the car, locking every door individually.

The antennae was easily broken. Never go through a car wash without lowering it! This is very expensive to fix, I was quoted $450 Canadian dollars for the replacement.

The emergency brake got stuck and it was $135 Canadian dollars to fix it.

The car just recently began to rust near the rear passenger side door handle.

The leather seats have a few cracks in them, but I purchased the car in this condition.

General comments?

This car is amazingly comfortable because the seats adjust so many different ways, you can customize it just how you like it.

There are so many options in the car, I haven't used them all yet.

I have only seen 2 other cars like mine in my city, and I drive quite a bit.

This car is very roomy and perfect for a family or traveling.

This car has always started for me, and doesn't need to be plugged in unless the temperature goes below -20C.

I love the sporty appearance of my car, and the look of it under the hood as well.
