Stabilizer Bar Bushings Corroded (Rusted) through, and popped of while turning. 119,800.

General Comments:

This car really gets moving. It is amazing for a car this old, and this big to gain speed the way it does, and once you get it going, you better pray that your brakes are working, cause that thing just keeps going. 0-100 in approximately 16 seconds (when bottomed out)

Really comfortable car to be in.

Big trunk.

Quiet.

Paint is still good.

But the only downside to this car is that it eats a lot of gas as it is, but I like to open her up every time I get in, and believe me, if you own one, you know, you can watch that gas gage go down.

Faults:

The heating unit sometimes does not start immediately, but will start many minutes after I begin driving. This is a huge problem for me as the winters can be as cold as -40C where I live.

Once in awhile the seat adjustment buttons do not work.

The power windows are very slow and occasionally can't make it all the way up without some help.

If it is colder than -20C occasionally the power locks do not work and I have to go around the car, locking every door individually.

The antennae was easily broken. Never go through a car wash without lowering it! This is very expensive to fix, I was quoted $450 Canadian dollars for the replacement.

The emergency brake got stuck and it was $135 Canadian dollars to fix it.

The car just recently began to rust near the rear passenger side door handle.

The leather seats have a few cracks in them, but I purchased the car in this condition.

General Comments:

This car is amazingly comfortable because the seats adjust so many different ways, you can customize it just how you like it.

There are so many options in the car, I haven't used them all yet.

I have only seen 2 other cars like mine in my city, and I drive quite a bit.

This car is very roomy and perfect for a family or traveling.

This car has always started for me, and doesn't need to be plugged in unless the temperature goes below -20C.

I love the sporty appearance of my car, and the look of it under the hood as well.

Faults:

Alternator went a few times, bought a new one the last time, not rebuilt.

Cam sensor was hard to diagnose, had to pull the whole cam cover off to replace a $14. magnet.(canadian)

General Comments:

I LOVE my Bonneville, I have professionally bought and sold a lot of vehicles, NONE, compare to this beauty.

Faults:

Calibration/memory chip went out in the computer at 175,000 miles.

It had some severe rust problems, but that's any car in Michigan.

I also had problems with the door opening mechanisms failing.

All other problems were in the steering system and resulted from the car being smashed twice while I owned it.

General Comments:

This was an incredibly reliable car that was a joy to take on road trips. I could rely on it every time to get me to and from college (a 3 hour trip). I actually smashed it twice while I owned it (neither time my fault), and I actually paid to have it fixed because this car was THAT reliable. The only other fixes I had to make were a computer chip, both drivers side doors, and a power steering line that had rusted through.

The car drove and handled quite well, even after the smashings. It was a smooth ride with plenty of acceleration and passing power.

I actually wanted to keep it, but I got a really good deal on a newer Buick LeSabre, so I passed it on to my dad's business with 186,500 miles on it. He later sold it when he got a snow plow truck.
