1993 Pontiac Bonneville SSE review from North America
"Couch on Wheels LOL"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump @ 315000.
Intake gasket @ 300000.
Brake lines cracked @ 315000.
General comments?
I bought this car with high KS.
I took the chance, and now I'm glad I did. I bought the car for $1000 and have probably put 1500 into it.
The intake gasket went at 300000, so I bought the head gasket rebuild kit, which replaces every gasket from the head up.
With so little work, this car is amazing. I make it from school in Ottawa to Newmarket (Home) on $26 gas (439 kms).
The car has amazing power and rides sometimes too nicely (on long drives at night, be careful of falling asleep) LOL. If you have owned one, you will know what I mean when I say its like a "Couch On Wheels". The heads up display is also great.
The car also has one of the best engines GM ever built (3.8). In my eyes, this engine is better than anything else on the market.
