General Comments:
This car impressed me. I bought the car after a telephone pole jumped in front of my Jetta :).
The car is going to hit 230k miles and it doesn't even burn oil. It's still very fast for its size. I clocked the 0 to 60 M.P.H and it's 2 seconds faster than my Jetta was. It's cheaper to tune up; $17 for wires, compared to VW's $80; so that made me happy.
Overall it's a great car. I'm surprised there is no rust, since my area roads are salted during winter.
Because of everything the car has been through, its been nicknamed "The Bonnerville".
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I love my '93 Bonneville SSE; it is the best car to own even for a new driver. It's safe and built like a tank, but it's not too good in the snow and rain.
I suggest it for new drivers; it will teach them to drive a big car.
