Classy old car
5 out of 5 starsMichael, 12/06/2016
1993 Pontiac Bonneville SE 4dr Sedan
My 93 Bonnie has been in my family for 20+ years. I've owned it personally since 2013. Has power mirrors, automatic headlights, sunroof, and power seats. Great visibility. Acceleration is adequate. My mileage is 16-18 city and 27-30 highway. Great highway cruiser; VERY comfortable and roomy. I think the styling of this car was way ahead of its time - still looks clean and respectable two … decades later (I also like the dash layout a lot). The only downsides I can think of are poor handling and turning radius (no U-turns in this car!). It's had plenty of repairs in the last four years (lots of hoses/lines have been replaced, along with sensors and fuel pump) but that's expected at its age. No problems at all with engine or transmission. 3800s are wonderful. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a car that's inexpensive, roomy, comfortable, and gets better gas mileage than almost any other large car. It's been fantastic for me.
10 year old SSE and still going strong

1993 Pontiac Bonneville SSE 4dr Sedan
When I bought this SSE, the dealer 2
red Grand Prix 2-doors, 5 red Grand Am
2-doors and a the white SSE. Dom "The
Snake" Purdome drove the car during his
farewell visit to the Sears Nationals
in Topeka, Ks. We took delivery on the
car. The first 30,000 miles were put
on the car between Topeka and KC
driving to and from work. The car got
broken in right. The Great … White has
gotten 34 miles per gallon on long
trips. At 131,000 miles she has gone
through 4 alternators, three sets of
tires, 3 sets of brakes, and two sets
of struts and shocks. The car still
has the original computer and
everything else.
Great for high mileage drivers

1993 Pontiac Bonneville SE 4dr Sedan
I drive close to 40,000 miles a year.
Combined HWY/CITY driving. I get oil
changes every 3,000 miles, and have to
replace the brake pads once a year.
That's absolutely all for maintenance!
I love this car. Close to 200,000 miles
and I wouldn't trade it in for
anything. Very pleased owner. Have
driven cross country, and easily
averaged 450+ miles per tank!! Normal …
city/hwy for me is 325 per tank. Safe
car too!
It is a blast to drive!

1993 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi 4dr Sedan
I bought the car used with relatively high-mileage. I was a little concern about the mileage but after I spoke to GM dealers, taxi drivers, my concern about the engine and drive train become less and less. It is a blast to drive. Handling is excellent plus with traction control you can't beat it. Excellent dash board layout head and tail lamp closed circuit monitoring for burnt light … bulb.
