Performance cars are expensive to maintain
Source: Cars.com

...Bought it used with only 30k miles on it. The real buying reason was that there was an extended 5yr/60,000 mile GM warrenty with a $100 deductable. Having owned a 2000 Bonny SLE, knew there were gonna be some expensive problems coming such as leaky sunroof (heads-up; there is no official recall on this but the sunroof doesn't always line up with the sealent strip so sometimes it is never actually closed, don't leave it outside in the rain. happened to both my 00' and 05') Became so frustrated with all the repairs (engine mount, faulty brakes, stability system, not to mention each 18" Goodyear...

Not Impressed

...Horrible radio reception (I live in a rural area however the other cars we own don't have any problems). Had to have the steering worked on. It started to make a "click noise" when turning right/left. The key fob door & trunk buttons - you had better be right by the vehicle otherwise forget it. The placement of the trunk release on the driver side floor - annoying. Trunk button on fob won't work if it is in the car so forget about a passenger opening the trunk for you. Overall: I will not be buying another Honda. I just don't think it was worth the price. Here's hoping the resale or trade-in...

..."I Have owned 2 bonnevilles, the first one I sold because it was my ex's car, anyway it had 179,000 miles on it and it ran great.
the second one, i still drive to this day. It has 193,000 miles on it and i drive it all over.
My record for milage was 531 miles on one tank of gas
!! thats 34 miles to the gallon, fully loaded with kids and lugage.
I would recommend a Bonnevilles to anyone. they are also a blast to drive, dont get me wrong, its no sports car, but for a family sedan they rock!!"...

"Dream Car"

..."This vehicle has some of the best interior I've ever seen.
I have almost fell asleep driving before its so comfortable. It doesn't have much power. Trying to do a burnout in a 1992 Bonneville is impossible."...

#6
First foreign car
Source: MSN Autos

...Smooth starting and running. Very good handling on smooth roads (car can out turn the tires ability to hold on to the road). Sound system very good for a standard system. Every thing works and fits well. I like the xmradio feature. Cons: Mickey mouse steering column adjustment. I prefer a tilt steering wheel. Seats are a little on the small side. Wheel hop on rough road. Overall: This is the first foreign car I have ever purchased. Would buy another. Very well pleased with the car and the dealership. I liked my old Bonneville but this is better than I expected...

Comfortable Boat

..."Pros: Relaxing to drive, comfortable seats.Cons: Handles like a boat, not good gas mileage...

Best Car We've Ever Owned

..."We bought this car new in October 1995 and it now has approx.
170k miles on it. It's the best car we have ever owned. It's quiet, comfortable, handles well, and is reliable. I wish they still made them-- I'd buy another one just like it."...

This car is BULLETPROOF!!!
Source: Cars.com

..."I have had this car for 10 years, and it hasn't let me down yet!
I have put over 200,000 miles on it, and it still runs, drives, and looks like new. The interior still looks great, even after all these years and miles...
