    So far the car has been greatwe have 3700 miles on it and its been great so far it was nice to see that they droped the northstar motor in it AND gave it 18 inch wheels. Hope it lives up to my 98 grand prix GTP that car was great my last bonniville 01 that we exchanged for the new 05 was just a nitemare allways in the dealer for repairs

    This is a large, safe, 4 door sedan built by the UAW in Michigan. It is based on GMs G platform which also underpins the Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS, and it is lighter than both of these cars. Most of the shortcomings of the Bonneville have been addressed in GMs newer models, but if you can live with them, the price is incredible.

    All the bells and whistles of the Seville for less dollars. Fun to drive, but you give up a bit in the ride.

    I like this car except for the price I paid for it. It is smooth driving and very comfortable on long distance driving. My 84 yr old brother-in-law finds it comfortable to ride in the back seat.

  • 10 years of foreign, now GXP - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Both wife and I saw eye-to-eye after test drive of GXP, buy it. Very quick to highway speed - sport suspension, braking all excellent. At 62, pushing the envelope on room, bit more than OK. Cockpit dashboard @ night is awesome. Live in town with many Lexus, BMW, Audi, etc and this styling stands up to all of them, performance does too. This is great choice and too bad they are discontinuing them.

  • 2nd Bonneville in 3 Tears - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Bought an 01, SSEI, and loved it, accept that it was white and showed every bug in Ga, Al, & Miss. BUT this GXP with V8 is a Blast. I can enjoy riding around and listening to these big 8 cylindars. With DOC and 4 valves/Cyl. this car will kick ass. The super charged 6 on my 01 was quick, but this is 1.5 seconds faster. I am burning mid grade gas, and not getting the same mileage HWY or City, but the wasy it drives and sounds, it is worth it. do yourself a favor, test drive one.

  • Been Everything I Wanted...Almost - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville

    This is the car that I wanted since 7th grade, and finally this past May I had the opportunity to purchase one! I absolutely love the styling, particularly on the exterior. The pearl white shimmers in the sun and is gorgeous to look at. The tan interior is great as well, although I have been a bit disappointed with some of the material qualities, particularly on the ceiling panel and dashboard. I bought the car with 63,000 miles and have put on another 3,000 to date. Other than a couple of major repairs up front (engine mount and instrument panel) this car has been practically problem free. I love the power and handling and plan on keeping it for a very long time!

  • In a town of Imports... - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    After taking advantage of the summer promo from GM, got great deal on Bonny GXP. Stands out in a town of sameness (Lexus, BMW, Audi) and is a great ride. At 62", leg room is a minor issue, but seats are great and I am very comfortable. The dashboard at night is stunning and the purr of the V-8 matches that. Strongly recommended and fun and safe to drive.

  • Im in love with my car - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
