1989 Pontiac Bonneville LE review from North America
"My First Car... Still My Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only major problem I can remember is the transmission, but that can be expected after 140k miles and 17 years.
The radio was also starting to die, but I replaced it soon after.
General comments?
First of all, I want to point out that I love this car.
It has good performance and handling, partly due to its lovely engine.
The interior is very nice for a car off its age, and probably better than some new cars. Everything is power! There is plenty of leg room, and plenty of trunk space.
Great great car, I plan to keep for a long time.
