1989 Pontiac Bonneville SE review from North America
"No domestic import can even hope to compare with this superior American made vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The computer causes the oil light to stay on most of the time, even though it's fine.
The gas warning light goes on and turns off prematurely (starting at about 1/2 tank.. also because of the computer).
Plan to get the exhaust system replaced even though it's not a problem at the moment.
The oil gasket leaks an insignificant amount, not enough to be a problem.
I was aware of all these problems (except for the gas light thing) before I purchased the car.
My windshield leaks some and has resulted in the steering wheel control buttons not operating at all times, but that's my fault.
General comments?
The car is model year 1990 but was manufactured in 1989. This is a great car and has not let me down once.
