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.

  GM came so close to getting this right - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By SpiceUmUp - August 27 - 10:00 am

  The car is good-looking, very comfortable fro very long rides, has a large truck, gets good gas mileage, handles, and rides well. BUT: little parts break off, the latch on the trunk pass through broke the third time I used it, the paint on the radio buttons has worn off, the sun shade flops like a deflated balloon, the paint on the wheel covers is flaking, and the reception on the radio is AWFUL. How hard can it be to put a radio that can get decent AM reception in a car? My VW can get New York AM stations 45 miles from NYC that have long faded to static in the Pontiac. GM needs to start doing the little things well

  My 2003 Bonne - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Larry Stevens - July 19 - 5:46 am

  Overall I would rate this a good buy! It has performed better than expected. The only problem is something that just came up in the last 6 months which my dealer calls "knuckling," which is when you turn the wheel you experience a "grinding" sound. I am told that GM has no solution for this which is a great disappointment to me.

  Bonneville, good quality, fair price - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By mdjinic - July 6 - 9:33 am

  Had trouble with the steering wheel initially. Strong vibrations in the wheel. This was corrected under warranty, and has been fine since. Engine has given me no problems. Highway mileage consistently 28-30mpg. Seat is kind of hard, and feels like it leans toward center of car, but not the most uncomfortable car I have been in.

  Loyal Bonneville Buyer! - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Loriorio - February 23 - 10:00 am

  This is my 4th Bonneville. My trade was a 2000 Grand Prix GT...super sharp looking but just not a Bonneville. Bonnevilles ride is smooth and quiet. Driver seat is so comfortable and controls are easy to find and use.

  Duke of Bonneville - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Toastmaster - March 7 - 10:00 am

  I have been driving a 2004 SSEi for 10 months now. The car is awesome for highway crusing. Gobs of power once it gets up and going. The SSEi suspension is pretty nice on more demanding roads, but you do have to remember this is a LARGE car and it doesnt handle like a sports car. The tires howl when you push it hard, but it is well behaved and easy to drive. Acceleration is powerful, but not quick. The leather interior is very quiet and comfortable. Adult rear seat passengers rave about the ride and room in the back seat. If price is no object, you can get better, but at this price point, GM has a really sweet performance minded luxo-cruiser.
