1991 Pontiac Bonneville SSE 3.8
Summary:
Best car ever made! Period
Faults:
The only real expensive things that have gone wrong with the car, was the air conditioning stopped working, and the tranny slips. The transmission slips in overdrive, so it needs to be driven in drive. The car also needs to be warmed up or it won't go into gear (but what can you expect with 240000kms).
The leather seats are nice, although the driver seat wore badly, but some duck tape fixed that.
A little rust has developed, but it is 16 years old.
The air ride in the back has a leak, so the compressor is always on.
General Comments:
This is the best car in the world. If you're thinking about one, stop thinking and just buy one.
We've put more than 100000kms onto the car and have only spent like 4-5grand on repairs, such as oil changes, ball joints, and shocks, and such.
That car handles in the summer at about a 8/10, and in the winter a 7/10. The GM 3.8 will NEVER die and can squeal the tires quite easily.
Tons of interior room (the leather seats are fabulous) and plenty of space in the trunk for a sound system.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have 113,000 miles on my Bonneville. She still drives and rides as if it were new. It has been in two accidents (not our fault) and this car still performs beautifully. It handles as if it were on rails.
I am about to replace the headliner (sagging) due to age.
I have only replaced regular wear and tear items.
