Hello everyone from Cobourg, Ontario, Canada! I have had my bonnie for a couple of months and am finally getting to posting myself on here. I just came from the 1990 Corsica camp and had to put her out to pasture (literally sitting in a field). I purchased a 2000 Bonneville SSEi and am loving it, my wife and I just had a baby so I had to sneak this purchase in before all the minivan talk started. But being Canadian and kinda slow eh, I left my moon roof and now have electrical trouble on my doors. Any help would be much appreciated (I am the last post).

Thanks!

Welcome to the club. The Bonneville makes a great family car with some extra oomph.

Hopefully, the folks here can guide you through your electical issues. We have a pretty good success rate for helping out.

Welcome Dan

Hi Dan,
Welcome.
Funny because I bought my SSEi recently as we needed a bigger car because baby #2 is on the way. Yes, I had to sneak it by as there was some crazy talk about a minivan in our household, I just couldn't do it.
What'* also funny is our previous car was a Pontiac Tempest.
Like your Corsica, I'm sure you found the back seat to be too small to consider putting a baby seat back there? I know I did!
My son'* in a booster, and there was no way a rear facing seat would fit as well.
Luckily the Bonneville'* have a nice, big back seat!

Hopefully the guys help with your electrical issues.

Cheers,
Adam

It'* like you live in a parallel universe! I know it is just a matter of time before baby #2 comes and the minivan talk will start again. Any advise on stopping this nonsense would be much appreciated!

Hi Dan,
Here'* how I played it:
We were looking through used car papers, and I convinced my wife that we could buy a better car for the amount of money we budgeted to spend vs a van.
I told her mini vans have a higher re-sale value, and it would be smarter to put our money into a car instead of a van that would break down all of the time.

Worked like a charm.
I told her the Bonneville was the way to go because it has such a giant back seat.
When we picked it up, she said, "What'* a Supercharger?"
I told her it was a feature that made the car a bit more emissions friendly. Ha ha!

I sometimes see the value of having a mini-van, like going to the hardware store and having to haul bulky items. My thoughts wandered once to thinking it would be nice to have one.
I quickly squashed that thought, tucked it away into the back of my mind, and told it to never come back.

Good luck!
Adam

Thank you labonnevillastrangiato!

My wife is starting the minivan talk already and wants to replace the other car when she gets off maturnity leave. She wants room to haul all the baby'* stuff!

Welcome Dan. The 2K Bonny is a great family car.
