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.

Love my Bonneville; could be roomier - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
By Tim Houseknecht - May 29 - 12:46 pmI bought this vehicle because I love the way it looks and rides. One pro reviewer didnt like the looks of the 02 model, but I think its one of the best looking cars out there. It handles great on the interstate and all country roads. A couple of complaints: Mine doesnt get 29 on the highway (lucky to get 24). A friend tells me he gets 29 or 30 on the highway with his SLE. I wish it had the room of the Chrysler cars. Im 64, my wife is tall, and so are my kids. For that reason, I should have looked more seriously at the 300 or Intrepid (tons of room). If Pontiac ever made a roomier version, Id buy one. Its a well built vehicle.

Sporty Mom car - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
By nmhst - March 25 - 2:00 amThis car not only looks good,but drives wonderfully. I have three kids and they have plenty of room. The trunk space does not let me miss my SUV. Dont let the name "Bonneville" mislead you. It is not the big old bug car.

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

A Beautiful Vehicle - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
By Gregory Tocco - December 9 - 11:56 amI purchased this Certified Used Vehicle from my local Chevy Dealers Used Car Lot. This 2003 Pontiac Bonneville SLE is easily one of the nicest vehicles I have ever owned (and Im 46). The overall styling is striking and I get a thrill everytime I see it! Im getting almost 24 mpg in mixed (city/hwy) driving. The reliability is exceptional! I simply love this car! I am also very disappointed that GM has discontinued producing the Bonneville (as of the 2005 model year). I will drive this car for quite a long time. In fact, my plan is to drive this car for at least another 5 years, then look for a clean 2005 Bonneville GXP and be in Bonneville Heaven! (I know the 2005 GXP is the best ever!!)

Best Family Sedan On the Market - 2003 Pontiac Bonneville
By Joe Dixon - January 21 - 10:00 amWe bought our Bonneville just last month, we previously had owned a 94 Bonneville. The car itself has a good design its quite attractive, for someone who has a family and wants something big enough to easily ride in comfort and have plenty of power doing so, then this is the car. The engine sound is amazing. As soon as you open up the engine the supercharger roars, its really gives you a rush. When test driving the vehicle, a Ford Mustang GT pulled up becide and we had a bit of a drag race, we easily pulled ahead of him, beleive it or not the pedal was not to the "metal".
