Pros:
  • Loads of gee-whiz features, head-turning styling.
Cons:
  • Stout V6 in a segment that demands a V8, nameplate lacks snob appeal of luxury imports.

    had the car 2 1/2 years and had more than enough problems.1: aircon. had to be fixed.2:wheel bearing in the front was bad. 3: rear window regulator broke.4:front pass. window works only on once in awhile. 5:intake manifold is leaking has to be replaced.6: power steering pump is leaking.7:dash lights are burning out. Cant wait to buy my new Dodge Charger!!. This is coming from a person who has driven Gm Cars for 30 years, Very disappointed!!! This car has only 132,000 km which is 82,500 miles

  • Bad Transmission - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Overall a fun car to drive. Could use a V8. Transmission had to be totally replaced at 72000. GM will not acknoledge there is a transmission problem with this car. I know 3 of my friends had the same problem from 40k to 70k. GM did not respond at all when I went through their channels. Too bad for them because they have lost a good customer.

  • Looking to Sell - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Well, its a year and a half old and Im looking to sell. The final straw was the transmission going at 38k. Pontiac had me pay $500 of the cost which to some people is nice, but I dont think the tranny should go at 1 1/2 years! The radio which shuts off when the car door opens, actually stays on 1/2 the time. Ive never been really comfortable with the design of the brake and gas pedal positions. I dont know if its because I sit in traffic alot and Im tall, but its a VERY uncomfortable design. Im pretty sure Ill never buy another GM again...
