  • Third Bonneville - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    I just purchased this Bonneville after owning a 1994 and a 1997. I enjoyed both prior cars for their gas mileage, size, and durability. This one has me worried, as I have already replaced both rear window regulators. I did find them online for $50 apiece, so it didnt hurt too bad. After reading other reviews, I am concerned about the steering and rotors. I plan to replace the front rotor soon. I would really like to find a decent repair manual, but cant locate one. I changed the wires and plugs, and it took three hours because of the back three cylinders. I hope this one works as well as the other two. Ill just have to wait and see.

    Sturdy with lots of interior comforts. Very reliable, never a problem. Appears a bit bulky in the exterior design, but you cant compare the quality and reliability.

    As a previous owner of a 1995 SEL, I really like the improvements in the 2000 model. Ive had a few issues: replaced heater fan, water gathered under the spoiler and would spill into the trunk when I opened it, an A/C hose failed last year. But what really pissed me off, was both of the rear power window motors had to be replaced within two weeks of each other. This happend at just under 40,000 miles and the dealer nor GM would cover it under warranty. I had to go through a lenghty process to get 50% back from GM.

  • Buy a different car before warranty is up - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    I purchased this car new, I loved the inside/outside such a unique car & the heads up~wow!! But immediate problems, dealership gave me the go around & failed at their job, so took it elsewhere and the guys there do try! The car growls at approx. 13 mph in front. the spoiler holds water & leaks into the trunk. The wheel roters have been turned & replaced numerous times. The windows both broke within an hour of each other, $500 a pop to fix, extended warranty a must, now when I turn it/try to turn it over wont start, must turn part way wait 15 secs. before it will start. fuel filter & pump replaced, relay replaced, power steering pump replaced, sounds like crap back to shop, new foreign car!!

  • This Car is a Nightmare - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Ive owned this car for two years and it was great at first. Now The passenger side window wont roll up the back window wont roll down, but it falls down. My headlights have started flashing on and off so I cant drive at night. My windshield wipers work intermittently. And my Traction, Anti-Lock, and Brake light all have come on at the same time. My warranty has run out. I took the car to an auto electric shop and he said I would need all four window regulators which are over 300.00 dollars a piece. Thats just the beginning. Anybody want to buy a car?

  • I would have spent the money elsewhere - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville

    Just not impressed with the vehicle. As mentioned in previous critiques, there are many little problems with it. There was no compressor/airconditioner put in the car when there should have been, right tire rod had to be replaced (25000 miles), now experiencing muffler problems (40,000 miles on car). IN addition, there is a continuous rattling behind the steering wheel. THese are problems that should not occur in a new car. Just a dissapointment

    This has been a great car for my wife: a real looker, classy, excellent fuel economy considering how powerful the car is. Shes been very happy with it.

  • Exciting to Drive, Passenger Space Small - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    This is an exciting car from the view point of the driver, however, from the passenger view piont the interior space is too small and not as spacious as previous models. Really disappointed in the downsizing of the passenger seating area.

  • Love the car/ditch the dash lights - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Best car Ive ever owned overall; rides nice and solid, 30-32 mpg highway. Other than a brake rotor problem during warranty period, Ive had nothing done to it except scheduled maintenance in 50,000+ miles of driving. Only problem is an annoying shimmy at 70mph which started in front and went to the rear after I rotated the tires, so its either a bum tire or a wheel hole off center. This is a lot of car for the money. My only beef is with those annoying red dash lights that can only have been designed by someone under 40; too hard on older eyes!

  • Looks can be deceiving! - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    I love the looks of this car, However we have had to replace a lot of "things" on this car, no tire rods were on the car, rackingppion has had to be replaced 4 times, cadlic converter had to be replaced, several items, list to long to mention, in my opinion Pontiac should recall the models from the year 2000, to many "little" problems that have had to be replaced! Also the interior dash panel has had to be replaced because of peeling around the gear shift, radio, etc.
