  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.

  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.

  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!

  Great overall - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
  By B Udson - May 14 - 2:26 pm

  Had a few electrical problems with the seats and fog lights and curb assist mirrors. Worked out by dealer. Heads up display is very nice and a great plus. The only thing I would change is a slightly better speaker system to match the kickbutt look of the car. Great all around!!

  Awesome set on wheels - 2005 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Jfunsch - April 3 - 9:16 pm

  I have owned my GXP for two mos. now. Absolutely love it...its power, performance, ride, style and I could go on and on. Its comfortable sporty ride translate to a very responsive vehicle in all speed ranges. And I havent even hit on the power to pass or accelerate...Boy, when I stand on the throttle the V-8 jumps to life and gets you were you were going, NOW!!! My step-daughter says, "maybe we shouldnt have gotten him such a powerful car" That says it all...I have almost 2500 miles on it. It is an incredibly fun luxury sport sedan. I love the Onstar and XM satellite radio..already have paid to extend the free trials on both for at least a year.

  Best riding car that I have ever owned. Plenty of trunk space, and enough power in the V6.
