Farewell flagship... - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
By Boz - January 28 - 10:00 pmI bought this exceptional car as a statement of rebellion... and got the reaction I wanted. I had wanted one of these cars for about 8 or 9 years, and with most people starry-eyed for the cheaply built Honda or Toyota, this bad boy turns heads while going down the street. The Black Cherry Metallic paint sparkles in the sun, as well as in the evening, and exterior styling puts the car in motion, even at a standstill. Interior styling has no end to luxury and comfort, and features and options are limitless. GXP specific guages and Driver information center also set the car apart, and to finish it all off, Pontiacs signature dash backlit in glowing crimson.

I love Pontiacs - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
By Jennifer Ann - November 28 - 10:00 amThe car is comfortable, it has power if needed. It is roomy, the trunk is large.The adjustments for the seats are easy, the lumbar adjustment just even more comfort. Do not have to use best gas as in my previous Grand Prix GPT Supercharged.The radio is like listening to live performances. The handling is easy. Not too big for parking. This is my fifth Pontiac since 1982.

Great Large Sedan - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
By John - October 16 - 7:43 amI got this car on an impluse buy. Always wanted a Bonneville since I sold my 77. The Bonneville makes me rejoyce for whats American. Its roomy, powerful and stylish. I dont care that its FWD. I like the torquy 3800. There is also that performance axle ratio which gives it alot of off the line kick. I truly love driving this car. Took it on a 2500 miles and drove it in the mountains with the FE2 ride this car was alot of fun. My fuel economy was okay. My 3400 Impala will do better. But thats the cost you pay for performance. I am so happy with my Bonneville SLE, if I had money I would buy another one but it would be a GXP. GREAT TOURING SEDAN! Its a great sporty family sedan!

The Great American Touring Sedan - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
By gm4life - October 8 - 1:53 amI have had nothing but excellent luck with my 2005 Bonneville SLE. It rides very smoothly but not overly floated like a Buick. The 3800 Series II V6 has excellent off the line pick up. Important for blowing off grannies in there Camrys. The trunk will hold loads of goodies and the steering is direct and gives good feedback. I have had one problem with my steering shaft other than that I have problem free time with this car. I intend to keep it in good shape and drive it forever. Anyone intrested in an excellent car and dosent want a Camry or Impala this is a great family/touring car. My family and I love to take trips in this vehicle. It is the Great American Touring Sedan!

Never Again - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
By Mikki - August 24 - 7:26 amNot a good car through rain and puddles. It only has 27,000 on the odometer and the trans is shifting hard, clanking noise every now and again in front. Brakes have been fixed once and checked three times. They still squeal. Mechanic says its the brakes they put on cars these days. Also has blind spots. Paid $22,000 and is simply not worth the money. Im trading it in A.S.A.P

My 05 Bonny - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
By Mr Phil - August 7 - 12:50 pmVery nice power and ride. The seats are a little uncomfortable for the luxury side, but they are sporty. Minor rattles were easily fixed but should not have been found on a car in this price and alleged quality range. Would buy another one if I had to do it over again.

Only Bonnevilles for me! Bring it back! - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
By mary ann - June 11 - 7:13 amI had a 1995 Bonneville that I loved. I was getting to the point of considering a newer car and when I heard they were discontinuing the Bonneville, I had to track a leftover down! I love my 2005. It has the coolest interior - a cockpit style and it very comfortable to drive. I have to make a lot of 6 hour round trip drives and I love my Bonneville! I keep my cars about 10 years so I hope by 2016, theyre making Bonnevilles again - without changing a lot about them!

Cant Believe its a sedan! - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
By Stick1234 - June 10 - 10:00 amVery comfortable with a sporty ride for a big car. Lots of bells and whistles. The Northstar V8 kicks ass and runs very smoooooooth. We are averaging 17.5mpg and the last long trip we got 25.3mpg the gas milage is better that the SUVs we had been looking at. Only problem so far has been fit and finsh. The driver side rear door was out of adjustment from the factory and that caused a scratch where the door meet (dealer fixed). The special red paint option is beautiful but ours scrathes very easy. I hope the clear coat gets a little harder over time.

Review - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
By Sonny - May 14 - 9:40 pmMy GXP is a head turner with wht/gold tricoat paint. Fuel economy is poor in city driving, but performance and styling outweighs this big gas guzzling sedan.
