1998 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi review from North America
"Excellent all-around family vehicle."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced fuel sending unit about a month after I bought it (76-77k). That was the ONLY problem I've had with this car.
General comments?
Very quick for almost a two-ton vehicle. Ride comfort is pretty decent, and the cabin is pretty quiet on the highway. Decent handling. Has been very reliable for me. I rated 'Running Costs' low because the supercharged car requires higher octane gas (91+). I have averaged 16-18 mpg city.
