Overview & Reviews

Only subtle changes are on tap for the 2002 Bonneville. Most notable on the list are new front and rear fascias for the base SE model, while new exterior badging and dual exhaust tips debut on the SLE and SSEi models. Newly styled 17-inch wheels, three new exterior colors, LATCH child-seat anchors, an improved Monsoon sound system and redesigned cupholders round out the changes.

• Loads of gee-whiz features, head-turning styling.

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

  NW Bonneville Review (2001) - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Hank Schmitten - March 31 - 10:00 am

  Very happy with this car. It replaces a 1993 Bonneville SSE with more than 140,000 miles. Great improvement over a previous great car. Only minor gripes are with the head rests which are set too far back to provide best protection and comfort, and the inability to see into the glove compartment. You just fish blind to find anything stored there.

  Great Value-Better Car than Cadillac - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By T-Fish - March 20 - 10:00 am

  After driving Sevilles for the last decade, we decided to try the Bonneville SSEi which is on the same platform as the Seville and $20,000 less. This is a better driving and riding car than its higher priced sister. It does lack a few options, V- 8, rear heated seats, wood trim, and the Cadillac mystic, but the super- charged engine is a great performer and lets face it, the Cadillac mystic is not worth $20,000. See what the Cadillac name means when the warranty runs out and you need any type of repair, $$$$$.

  good value - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By zzoom1 - February 15 - 2:00 am

  I have the SE with option group 1sc. Leather, on-star, dual climate control,front and side air bags and premium sound. Looked around extensively for a family sized sedan and settled for the Bonny as it is priced competitively and doesnt look like everything else on the road.

  an ergonomic nightmare! - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By sbrenning - November 14 - 10:00 am

  The brakes still squeak after having two complete brake jobs! Front end still vibrates when slowing down after having new tires installed! My biggest complaint is the interior design. The glove box is way too far under the dashboard to be of any use, which also makes the trunk release worthless. Head rests are also worthless. You have to lean your head way back just to make contact with them. I doubt if they would even provide support in a rear collision. Console arm rest is too high. Front seat backs keep coming apart if my children push their feet on them because they are only held in place by some kind of track system that clips together.

  Dont Buy New - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By ktsbonnie - October 22 - 12:23 am

  Bought used SE summer of 2004. Avoided some of that massive depreciation. Was a GM buyback because of water leak. Dealer said window seal fixed problem but I took it in twice before they un- clogged door drain holes. Water was coming in at bottom of door seal. Seems to be fixed, but now that warranty is out interior light fuse has blown several times. Concerning complaints about water in trunk, Ive found that this gets in when the car is wet and trunk is opened. Lot of wind noise on drivers side. Firestone Affinity tires need help. Otherwise car is comfy with a great engine and my transmission has worked fine.

  Reliable and Economical - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By HAppy - April 6 - 10:00 am

  My fourth Bonneville. Each one has been troublefree.. one set of brakes and one set of tires in 80,000 miles -- no other out of pocket repairs other than oil changes

  Best New Car In Years! - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By topdown73cat - February 10 - 2:00 am

  We have purchased numerous new cars over the last 20 years. Our 2002 Bonneville SE is the best new one yet. It is much quieter, better fit and finish, excellent performance and far less TROUBLE than the 1996 Dodge Intrepid ES we had. We have owned the Bonneville 7 months now and only oil changes have been done. At 7000+ miles it hasnt been into our dealer yet!

  From a hardcore Pontiac person - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By C&C - December 2 - 10:00 am

  Being in to old collector Pontiacs as my primary hobby, I thought I would try a new one. My wife drives this car everyday and loves it!! My biggest concern so far has been 2 window motors,intake gaskets,steering shaft,seat cover and rear seat divider panel in 20 K miles. This is excessive for any car. Hopefully Pontiac will get back on "track" soon.
