1995 Pontiac Bonneville SLE review from North America
"This car has sporty looks, is comfortable, and has been very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at about 210,000 miles.
General comments?
I've had this car for 11 years and have had almost no problems at all. Just routine maintenance and replacing of a head gasket is all that I've had to do to keep this beautiful car running fine.
This car has some decent power from its V6 engine. (240hp with 275 ft/lbs torque) My previous 4-cylinder car had trouble keeping up with normal traffic, but not at all in the Bonneville. I also put a Flowmaster muffler on it and is often mistaken for a V8.
I get about 30mpg highway and 26mpg on the road... very nice for such a large vehicle. There's plenty of room inside for long-distance. The leather seats are very comfortable, too. All in all a very smooth ride.
