Overview & Reviews

The Bonneville gets only minor changes for 2003. Base SE models now sport newly styled 16-inch steel wheels and a standard AM/FM/CD stereo, while all models can be upgraded with optional XM Satellite Radio. Previously standard side airbags are now optional on SE and SLE models.

• Loads of gee-whiz features, solid handling and drivetrain, excellent crash test scores, large trunk.

• Average interior materials, overly complicated controls, poor resale value.

  I LOVE MY BONNEVILLE - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By BEV12STER - October 2 - 2:00 am

  WE HAD A 1997 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX AND I WAS NOT SURE I WOULD REALLY LIKE A LARGER CAR LIKE THE BONNEVILLE BUT I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH IT. THIS WAS MY HUSBANDS CHOICE AND I WAS VERY CAUTIOUS AT FIRST THINKING IT WAS SO MUCH WIDER THAN THE GRAND PRIX BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE. IT IS VERY CLOSE IN WIDTH. IM REALLY GLAD WE WENT AHEAD AND PURCHASED THE 2003 BONNEVILLE SSEI. ITS A REAL EYE CATCHER BEING A BEAUTIFUL BLACK CAR WITH THE CHROME WHEELS. IM REALLY HAPPY WITH IT.

  Sweet Bonnie - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By ProvemWrong - July 10 - 10:00 am

  I traded a Regal for the Bonnie. so glad I did. This car is more stylish, great comfort, excellent layout inside and out, the butt warming seats and independent climate control keeps the old lady happy, better handling and suspension with more power. Lots to enjoy from the Dash lighting to the leather comfort ride. Easy cruise... XM Radio and moon roof. Great car.

  Supercharge It! - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By leaseman - May 2 - 2:00 am

  This is a handsome vehicle now that the universally hated body cladding has been replaced with simple molding. The drivers seat is like a cockpit with soft, comfy leather seats and an assortment of lights and gadgets that will make any techie drool. Acceleration is snappy with the supercharged engine, the only noticeable lag being when the car was being driven aggressively up a steep hill. This is a fine American performance sedan.

  Fun to drive. Doesnt fel like a large car. The 240 horsepower allows plenty of throttle response. Very comfortable interior, seats could use a little better bolster however. Great driver interface, great sound system.

  Our 03 Bonneville - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Robert - February 13 - 3:06 pm

  Have mad some very minor mechanical issues. Seats could use slightly larger bolsters. Dual climate system could be a bit more effective. Overall very pleased with the car. Very powerful for a six cylinder. I actually do not mind the premium fuel requirement as it gets very good gas mileage for such a large car. Averaging 24 miles to the gallon with a mix of hwy and city driving.Could use a bit more knee room on passenger side (I am 61").

  This car can move! - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville

  The Bonneville gives outstanding acceleration and steering performance. I wanted a hybrid sports car / large car. The Bonneville fits the bill.

  Blast to drive, very happy with this car - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By CACruising - January 1 - 10:00 am

  This car is a blast to drive if you like a car with power that handles well. The suspension gives a great ride for long and short trips. To eliminate some expensive options that we did not want (12-CD, Satellite radio, chrome wheels and sun roof because of head clearance), we ordered the car. It arrived in 4 weeks. Had a water leak problem with trunk through the bolt holes that hold Spoiler. It was fixed after a couple of tries.

  2003 Bonneville with 160,000 miles - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Sean - November 20 - 5:50 am

  I am 18 years old and this was my first car. I bought the car two years ago with 130,000 and it ran great. I still have the car and its still going strong with 168,000 miles. The only thing i have had to do with it is scheduled maintenance (oil changes, balancing tires, etc). Fuel economy is great for a 6 cylinder. It has a very smooth ride, and i like the comfortable leather seats. It also rides quite well at 120 mph. One of the only things i do not like about this car is that it is quite heavy, and does not stop as quickly as many other cars I have driven.

  My car - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville

  I have had several automobiles and this has to be the best. It handles great and has the extra pickup needed to pass in a tight situation. It also looks tough.

  Great car! - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By crames33 - February 27 - 12:10 pm

  I bought a 2003 bonneville when it was 8 years old with 86,000 miles and it was in perfect condition! Besides routine things, I never had work done on it. It got great gas mileage on the highway and was a smooth comfortable ride. I recently totaled it when we got a snow storm but I walked away completely fine! It still drove and the engine sounded fine but a lot of body damage was done. Im looking into getting another bonnelville. Great cars! Very roomy (especially the trunk) and looks sharp too. I would definitely recommend this car for anyone especially for a family car.
