1989 Pontiac Bonneville SSE review from North America
"A very distinctive vechicle like no other"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well the transmission went after 200,175 miles on its original engine.
The sensors kept acting up. So whenever I push the brake pedal the Driver Info Center brake light would make 5 beeping noises. Which can become very irritating.
General comments?
This is a beautiful collectors car. You would never expect a car of that year to have so many features. I always get comments on the car, especially the body style. At night it looks like an airplane with all its digitality. What I really like is the control buttons on the steering wheel.
