1989 Pontiac Bonneville SSE review from North America
"I would by one again if they would still make them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Idler on the belt tensioner went. (around 400.000km. Drove home only on battery.
Replaced idler - o.k. after that.
Oil line underneath radiator rusted through.
Drove home again without oil pressure.
Replaced oil line - o.k. after that.
General comments?
This is a very well build and designed car.
Couldn't had a better one.
Looking to replace my Bonneville.
