Overview & Reviews

The supercharged SSEi version of Pontiac's luxury tourer is no more, but a V8-powered GXP model makes its debut later in the model year. This most performance-oriented of Bonnevilles, the GXP, gets more streamlined styling (less cladding, that is) and comes with 18-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, leather/suede seats and a Monsoon sound system. Aside from that, chrome wheels are now available on the SE model.

• Loads of gee-whiz features, solid handling, powerful V8 in GXP, excellent crash test scores, large trunk.

• Average interior materials, overly complicated controls, poor resale value.

  GXP - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Mr. Bonneville - November 8 - 2:00 am

  This car is really fun to drive. Its performance is very good since its a V8. The horsepower is a little too weak for a 4.6L V8, but the 300 twisting pounds of torque make up for that. The only bad thing is the 17/24 city/Hwy mileage. Overall, I think Pontiac put a lot of effort into this smooth ride and it handles pretty good. I love the brakes.

  My dad had a 2001 Bonneville SE...it was a NICE car..he had someone hit him this past weekend..and it was totaled..however THANKS to the side airbag he survived..the police said he would not be here without it! he is going for another one..in 98 he totaled another 97 Bonneville in the SAME intersection and again was not his fault the car was in pieces and again he was ok..so if you want a bigger car...I suggest this one!

  Nice - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By David Fellows - August 27 - 2:00 am

  This car has all the right options and performance of a higher end import. If you want to buy an American sport sedan instead of an import this is the car to take a serious look at. I personally think its the best looking car on the market for under 35k.

  What fun!! - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Jamarco - July 15 - 2:00 am

  Ride is tight and quiet. This car is sporty with luxury added in. It is fun to drive, I cant wait for the next curve or to take off from a stop. The interior is a pleasure to sit in. The red lit dash is a big plus. GM has outdone itself on this model.

  Love it - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Matt - December 1 - 5:03 pm

  I did a lot of research about this car before I decided to buy. Great ride and drive. Seats are as comfy as you will find. Great car all around, one of very few cars that is comfy on a long trip. Fuel Mileage is about 20.5 on a long trip with cruise at 75.

  Performance, Luxury, & Practicality - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Pont E. Ac - October 19 - 5:36 pm

  The GXP is a beautiful blend of performance, luxury and practicality. Excellent design. Great acceleration - runs like a bear. Great "throaty" sound - it is obvious it is a V8. Wonderful handling. Very smooth ride. Plenty of room. Easy access to the back seat. Comfortably holds 4 adults - fifth one if needed. Huge trunk. Stops on a dime. Gas mileage is only negative. However, gas mileage dramaticaly jumps up after about 10k miles. Now getting between 23-25 mpg on highway - overall average is around 18 mpg. Mileage drops to about 7 when rapidly accelerating. I would buy this car again in a second.

  Very Very Pleased - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Jay Francis - August 27 - 2:23 am

  The great thing about the Bonneville, although I am sure GM wont like to hear this, is that it depreciates quickly, such that you can pick up a lot of car for not very much money if you buy used. I am very happy with this car. It does everything I expect of a car. Interior...the well around the console has a plastic that will tear easily, they could have done a better job. Also, although I havent experienced it with this Bonneville, you have to be aware of a GM flaw with a failing head gasket that allows water into the engine. Its a quiet enough car, I put on the new Goodyear Assurance tires. Stereo system is good. The Bonneville cost me $17,000 used, with leather interior w/ 10,000 mi

  GM still doesnt get it quite right - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By alanb - March 16 - 10:00 am

  Bought this 2004 Bonneville 2 weeks ago. It was delivered with rusted brake rotor hubs that look like they came out of a scrap yard. If they are going to use these new style, very open wheel designs, they need to treat the brake hardware so that it doesnt rust like crazy. Also, the chrome plated aluminum rims have chrome bubbling and flaking off the clearly visible inside diameters. Dealer has ordered 4 me new wheels. This is shameful. The A/C cools erratically for the first 2 or 3 miles of driving. And this car came from the GM plant that JD Power rated the best in North America!! How can that be????
