1993 Pontiac Bonneville SE 3.8 liter V6
Summary:
This car is a tremendous bargain for strong performance and economic use
Faults:
I had to replace the alternator at about 125,000 miles.
I replaced the throttle sensor control at 145,000 miles.
I have put a new water pump on at 156,000 miles.
The radio volume control button stuck at 130,000 miles, so I put a new aftermarket radio into the car.
Just before I bought the car the previous owners put a brand new transmission in at 92,000 miles.
General Comments:
This car for its size is very quick because of its strong V6.
I am 6'-6" tall, and this car is incredibly comfortable with its roomy interior and great headroom with the power seats. FINALLY I can be comfortable in a car!
I think the styling of the car is beautiful and racy with the spoilers and its great design.
I like the dark royal blue paint, which has held up incredibly well to have only been waxed one good time since I bought it.
The seats are starting to wear a little, but they are still looking good.
For such a good peppy engine this car is extremely economical (23 normal mpg, 28 on the highway).
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The evaluation should be written in a professional format such as used by automobile magazines, including using their performance ratings and standards. This would add credence to your site and to the individual evaluations. Patrons to this site may want professional advice and comments rather than those that could be gathered by their neighbors.
