Factory-installed alternator burned out, replacement did too; only when I upgraded to heavy-duty alternator did probs go away. No other engine probs with this Bonnie.
The driver's side outside panel was loose when I purchased car and was ripped off by water on the first wash job--dealer replaced at no cost. Feel this is a solid car; even with bumps and scratches, it runs and runs. "Mom's Bomb" will not quit!

My wife and I bought this car with 35,000 miles on it. It was our first "newer" car. My wife drove 90 miles a day round trip to work. 7 years later, it has 210,000 miles on and still runs incredibly well. The only thing we have replaced on the car is the alternator, that's it. Other than oil changes every 3,000 miles, we have really done nothing else. This car has taken us through the colorado mountains packed full and has survived the midwest winters in Iowa and Minnesota. My wife is going to finish school in 5 months and we are thinking about getting her a newer vehicle, but we have talked about driving this until it finally dies, problem is, I dont know when that will be, 300,000???

Wife bought it used with 70K miles. Reliable car. Replaced master brake cylinder & fuel pump. Both seem to be a GM issue. Doesn't like to run smooth with less than 1/8 tank of gas. Great reminder to put gas in. Other than that - very low maintenance. Now 114,000 miles & still reliable - keep loaning it to family while their cars are being fixed. Body has no rust. Wife thinks it is really comfortable.

be a neccessity for him in ohio snow.

Bought brand new. American cars just
don't hold up well, we all know that.
But I hate Hondas/Toyotas b/c of lack
of individuality! My car needs a
drivers side motor fixed, it broke
down on me due to alternator failure
(EMBARASSING) the speakers are blown,
and one side works, the steering
controls for the radio don't work, the
car's frame makes creeks when you shut
the heavy doors, the pass.dr lock
doesn't work..but the body still looks
alright! I have to say, 24K new.
10years later, worth 1K. SUCKS! But
honestly, I expected it. American
JUNK. But I still love it. My heyday
was the 1970's when I drove LTD's and
Continentals, a Caddy's.

My 1994 Bonneville currently has
273,000 miles on it and still running
great! Had to rebuild the transmission
at 218,000 and hasn't been the same
since. The engine still doesn't use
oil. Great car!

This has been a good car, however, I
have had to replace the master cylinder
and, egr valve, and the alternator
(which is typical). The car does not
get very good gas mileage due to its
supercharged engine, which is why I am
now trying to sell the vehicle. The 30
minute commute to school is killing me
in gas. However, this is a great car,
fun to drive, and is extremely fast.

Just bought it a few weeks ago, but I
bought it with 72000 miles in 2002, and
have no problems with noise, its has
great get up and go, and the stereo
system is good too, but I'm looking
forward to a CD player. A great car,
and plenty of room!

Bought the Car brand new and glad to
say we just traded it for a new
Infiniti! The Cutest moment was when
the car wreck itself! The Tire rod
broke when the car was only three years
old with 28,000 miles on it. Needless
to say the front passenger wheel fell
off when the tire rod broke. The last
straw was when the car rolled 100,000
miles; we were on I-10 in Houston going
about 80 to 85 mph (not fast, just
goin' with the follow, back before they
lowered the speed limit) and the car
turned itself off! TRY to get across
six lanes of construction in Houston.
Yepp, it is impossible!
