  • Great Looking Full Size - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    I love the car for its great looks and full size features, yet its still nimble handling and decent power. Also, despite its size, I average almost 25 mpg, and Im not a light pedal pusher either. However, I have had similar issues as other owners. The steering shaft, brake rotors, power windows and flickering lights. I too bought an extended warranty and this helped. However, now that its out of warranty things could get expensive. The steering and brake rotors are my biggest complaint. However, it is a great looking car, definitely fun to drive for a full size vehicle and thus far, reliability really hasnt been an issue, mostly a few modest annoyances.

  • Little Things - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Previously owned 97 model, this model not as good. Fit and finish disappointing especially around sunroof. Blew out a engine drain plug in first year, but overall reliability was very good. Performance of the car was great, nice ride, terrific power and good handling. Car was surprisingly good in snow and very good fuel economy overall. Just a lot of little things that make the car disappointing for what you pay for it.

    I love the car but it has been a little bit of a money pit. I hate how it rust right under the gas cap and on the hood. The front end is clunking and I can not figure out why. Every time i accelerate kinda hard it starts to shake up front and it feels unsafe. The gas gauge is messed up, every time it gets bellow half, it goes to full.

  • Switching from a Cadi to a Ponti - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Traded my 95 Black Deville for this 2000 Bonniville.....What a difference! The bonniville is much quicker and more agile but is quickly noted for a lack of styling and cosmetic appeal from my former car (according to friends). The gas mileage is great comparatively to other big cars and the driver feel/form is good. It doesnt ride like a hog nor quite or roomy but it rides damn good.

    Very sporty car but for a family there is not enough leg room in the back.

  • Fun to Drive - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    The Bonneville SE 4 door sedan has a great ride. The Over all feel of the car is fun and sporty. With the 3.8 L 204hp engine it has enough power, but not too much. The body style offers a sleek / sporty look. The only problem is the interior space. It doesnt fit tall people very well. Unless you like to lay down to drive. Is very dependable. Averaging 25 to 30mpg it is very fuel efficient.

  • Sweet ride for a great price - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Found one of these with low mileage, and I feel like I paid twice as much, this is a great car.. The outside design has hardly changed in four years so it still looks like a brand new car.

  • Disappointed - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Styling was underwelming. I appreciated the changes in the chassis. Interior is spacious and comfortable, the convience of the tire pump is great! Performance is adequate (I am waiting for the GTO , next year) First problem was electrical took dealer 3 times to fix. Verbal explaination of repairs, "you dont want to know!". Now have racheting noise in the steering I am told the car was bottomed out ... the "Craddle" is bent and the noise/popping we hear is body flex. We dont drive radically. Even though there are signs of the undercarraige being scraped there is no way that we impacted anything hard enough to warp the Craddle.

  • We got the lemon - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Ive had many Bonnes & theyve gone forever, but this one was a complete $$ pit. In 11 months and a total $7000 investment it sits in a junk yard. The ignition locked up, the gas gauge didnt work, the catalytic rattled, the struts - shot, the sunroof broke & leaked, the window motors were failing, and after 500 into trans to save it - still slipping, and then 700 into engine for it to throw a rod. It hurt to see such a beautiful car that we babied to go to sh*t. It had 129K when we bought it, Bose/Onstar/SuperCharge/Tinted/Leather - thought would be our reliable car, but my 94 Bonne turned out to live longer and WAY more reliable.
