Overview & Reviews

Brand-new from the ground up, Pontiac's flagship sedan moves onto a stiffer platform with rakish styling and high-tech goodies such as an integrated chassis control system.

• Stout V6 in a segment that demands a V8, nameplate lacks snob appeal of luxury imports.

  Must have been a monday car - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  By wanna import edition - April 17 - 2:00 am

  Where to start... driving home from the dealer suspension was knocking - turned out to be broken bolt. Engine kept stalling while driving - bad crank sensor (towed 3 times before diagnosed) Engine soft plugs poped while driving Steering column was replaced twice. Door panel replaced twice Seatbelt mechanism rattled and squeaked. Transmission failed after 38 months and 27000 miles. Now exhaust flange has cracked (no impact marks per dealer - it just failed) Dealer and GM have been great in fixing the clunker - it just my time that is wasted and nerves that are being wracked.

  Problems problems problems - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Kempster - February 2 - 10:00 am

  Ive had the car 3 years now and its been nothing but a headache. Traction control light and ABS sensors have been replaced 2 times and now the lights are back on again. Struts needed to be replaced, intake manifold cracked and there is now a problem with the steering box. Chrome wheels started pitting day one. Fortunately the warranty covered all repairs but the time the cars been in the shop is to much for a 3 year old car with less than 34,000 miles. Cant wait for my company to replace this car, I hope it lasts to October.

  Very Decieving - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Not Satisfied! - October 3 - 2:00 am

  This car is not what you think you are getting. Have had to replace racking pionion 5 times, transmission had to be replaced, new brakes in less than 5000 miles, makes popping noise all the time, front end will not stay in in-linement, Tire Rods has had to be replaced 4 times, Tires are to expense to have to ahve replaced so often because of the rubbing of the tires. Do not recommend this car to ANYONE> It is a LEMON!

  The good and the bad - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  By BCORTIS - August 22 - 3:26 am

  Overall I love my Bonneville! I love the way it handles. Lots of room for taller people like myself. Gas mileage is good for the size of the car. The engine has been reliable, The main problem Ive had with this car is the windows! I have to replace both regulators in the back doors and the front passenger motor seems very sluggish. Some rusting right on the edge of the front hood not sure if thats normal for this model. I did have to have the trunk lock cylinder taken out and unjammed/cleaned. Of course brakes and rotors seem to wear quicker than normal. I also tried to convert radio/cassette to CD but couldnt because of factory settings. Otherwise I absolutely love my Bonneville.

  Very nice car with a few problems - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  By WIdriver - August 15 - 10:00 am

  I love the look. I love the handling. The 3.8 engine continues to prove its durability. BUT, they have to redesign the split-bench front seat. Very uncomfortable. I use a seat cushion and that helps. And, I remember a time when seats were comforatble enough to fall asleep in. Not this car! The steering column stick shift covers the radio controls when in "Drive." DUH! The back seats are too low unless your kids are six feet tall. But for the money and size, I cant find a better vehicle.

  Solid Value for the Money - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  By sclass_benz - June 4 - 8:03 am

  Ive owned my 2000 Bonneville for 10 months now and have been very pleased. It always starts easily and runs strong. Being a previous Honda owner, I had some concerns about squeaks and rattles showing up in a GM product, but Ive been pleasantly surprized, the ride is nice and quiet and there are no rattles. I am averaging 22+ miles per gallon (city/hwy combined) and there is definitely plenty of power. Only complaint is that a remote trunk release was an option that I dont have, so you have to turn off the motor, then use the key to open the trunk. Highly recommended and a great value.

  Looks and drives better then built - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Michael02pb - May 28 - 10:20 pm

  I really enjoy the design of the car, it is a very sporty for a full size car. It handles and accelerates with great ease. However I spend more on repairs then what I acutally spend on the car payment

  Fun to Drive, but has mechanical issues - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  By RPM - April 28 - 4:46 pm

  Bought this "used" car in March 2005. Very sharp and sporty looking car and very fun to drive. Plenty of power. Fully loaded, has all the bells and whistles that the SSEI has, but without the supecharged engine. But since weve bought this car, it had to go back to the garage 4 times now for minor, but annoying mechanical issues that shouldnt be happening on a 5 year old car. Now it has a water leak on the rear passenger floor. The wife really loves this car, but I wish we had waited and bought a Monte Carlo SS.

  my first but not my last bonneville - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  By rshaw - January 7 - 2:00 am

  bought in 2003 with 17000 miles; great car; need time to understand all the bells & whistles. got extended warranty thrown in by the dealer; good thing, it didnt cost me a dime to have rear window motor replaced. would definitely buy another.

  My First Pontiac - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Poor Boy - September 30 - 12:53 pm

  Overall pretty good car. Steering rack was leaking, had it replaced under extended warranty. Window motor went out, again replaced under warranty. Great Gas Milage. Intermediate steering linkage has been a problem, fixed under recall but now acting up again. Purchased car almost three years old with 23,000 miles and bought it for half of new car sticker. Never owned a Pontiac before, thought I would give it a try.
