  Wonderful to Drive - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
  By L.Long - February 18 - 6:53 am

  I looked at many new cars and went to the Auto Show and this car was the one that caught my eye. I was looking for backseat comfort(for other adults, large trunk and a sporty look and this car had it all. It drives wonderful and is very comfortable on distant driving.

  Great Car. Exciting to drive with pplenty of power. Handles the curves and long trip equally well. I love the instrumentation, especially at night. Its like an airplane cockpit. Pontiac has bred a real winner here!

  Best Bonniville Yet - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
  By SSE Lover - January 27 - 10:00 am

  Prior to purchasing my GXP I owned a 88 SSE which has 180,000, with absolutely no major problems. The lead me to the GXP which in my mind is pure perfection. The ride is as smooth as any Lexus if have owned. The pick up the their when needed. As time goes forward, I am looking for the same performance as the SSE.

  Amazing underrated car - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
  By clevelandbonneville - January 15 - 4:13 am

  So far owned for 3,000 miles. I got this beautiful car for a bargain price with 90k miles. It drives like it has 30k miles. Ive gotten between 23 and 27 mpg per tank so far. Nothing has broken except for a burned out head- light bulb. Very smooth torquey engine with silky smooth shifting transmission. Lots of style. More style than all the imports for sure. I love the look from the back and side especially. Only cool Chryslers and Dodges have more style but they are troublesome. This car feels heavy and well-built and safe. Nice looking interior with a large trunk and back seat. This car is big and a bit tricky to maneuver in parking lots and city but its a dream on the freeway.

  A Superior Choice - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
  By RayRod - December 15 - 10:00 am

  Previously, I had a 98 Grand Prix GTP. I loved the car and probably would have bought a new GTP if Pontiac hadnt revamped that style, in my opinion, for the worse--no more auto climate control, tighter interior space, etc. The Bonneville GXP is definitely an excellent upgrade--it has all the features I had come to love like the HUD, performance and style. The exterior styling is great, the V8 engine, 18-inch wheels and sporty suspension make this car fun and comfortable to drive. The best color scheme is the graystone metallic, since it really compliments the interior trim colors. The cockpit is great--day and night. Ive shopped around, and this car is best in its class and beyond.

  For Pontiac Lovers - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Dealer - September 2 - 10:50 pm

  As a car salesman having driven many different makes and model of cars, the GXP is by far the most for the money. Fun to drive, exceptional road manners. The professional opinion peddlers completely miss the mark concerning the GXP.

  Great Bonnie! - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
  By DMP - May 4 - 10:50 pm

  Purchased as a demo in 2007 with 21K kliks as a replacemennt for my 94 SLE (nice car); Now at 53K. Daily driver for mostly city driving. I love the styling - stealth-look black exterior turns heads and clears traffic on the highway. Interior is comfortable for my tall frame. Excellent ride. The GXP is very thristy; in keeping with the performance image the final drive was raised to 3.7 which drops the mileage by about 20% over other NorthStar equipped cars.

  Could have been better - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
  By cmsherm - March 16 - 2:33 pm

  Style of the body makes the vehicle look welcoming due to the fact that this looks more like a sports car than the traditional family car. The interior looks much more inviting than most of GMs bench seat in the front of their sedans. However, looks can be deceiving. The seats are very uncomfotable and traveling long distances make riding a horse seem more appealing. The vehicle has good acceleration once you get out of first gear and the exhaust has a nice rumble when you hit the gas. It is fun to drive on winding roads due to the wider wheel base. You can find curves that suggest 30 mph, all the while you can be doing 60 mph mashing on the gas and never leave your lane.

  The vehicle is very stylish inside and out. It is a smooth ride and good fuel/mpg. You get alot of features for the price (memory settings between 2 drivers). Its also roomy inside and plenty of trunk space.

  Stylish and comfortable! Great punch! - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Paul J. - January 9 - 10:30 am

  Driving has no longer become such a chore with the Bonneville. Just driving it for the pure joy of taking a ride is back. After owning a Bonneville in the past and my father owning 6 it seems apporiate to come back "home" agian. Proving the Bonneville is a great car and once you get one its very easy to get another one. The Bonneville with the 3800 Series II OHV V6 is plain peppy and is plenty of power for me and I was stepping down from a small block V8 powered GM car the six seemed almost as gusty. Part of that was due to the cars good gearing and performance axle ratio which was another reason I wanted an SLE. But I admit I love the GXP/SLE styling, it will age well!
