  Leaking Manifold on both 99 & 94 - 1999 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Indy500guy - September 19 - 10:00 am

  I have had 2 Bonnevilles. A 94 & 99. I like the overall performance, and exterior, but I have put 3 manifolds on each car. The 3rd one of each being "out of warranty". I sure wish GM would spend the $2-3.00 to fix the problem, rather than just hide behind the "we cant warranty them forever" line. Breaks - like all of the 6 GM cars I have owned, are undersized, and warp very easy. I will admit that I have become a better break mechanic because of owning a GM. Unfortunetly for GM, they have lost my respect, and I would find it difficult to ever buy a GM product again, and thats a shame.

  happy to have it - 1999 Pontiac Bonneville
  By sales rep - August 23 - 10:00 am

  I travel a lot by car and have used this car heavily! It has never needed any work other than normal maintenance. The ride is very good, I average 28-29 mpg. Good kick when you need it, handles great. Plenty of room to haul kids and nice big trunk. Everyone who sees what I drive comments "I used to have a Bonneville, never shouldve sold it..." I dont think I can part with mine either.

  Supurb - 1999 Pontiac Bonneville
  By karfreek - July 7 - 10:00 am

  This has got to be the best car I will ever own. I have put 24k on it in just over a year and I have have no complaints. The interior is well thought out and built with no squeeks or rattles. Some more storage for the front seat occupents would have been good. The car now has 98,000mi and is going strong, I have no doubt that I could get this car to 250,000mi. The car can move, the Supercharged 3800 has endless power.

  The light bright - 1999 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Bhart1990 - July 6 - 9:50 pm

  I bought my Bonneville, with 100,300, it now has 107,000 miles on it and since has been pretty solid. Shorty after i bought it wouldnt start, replaced the fuel pump and thinking that was it, turned out to be a air/fuel mix sensor, and havent had a problem since. knock on wood. I did think the tumbler went out but after some searching i discovered the shifter boot was blocking the park thing from releasing the key. What could have been an expense fix turned out to be nothing. Other than that this car has been fantastic. It hasnt had another problem since, no cursed manifold trouble yet. doesnt really rattle until i hit a bump really hard and even then its from time to time.

  Repair Head-ache waiting to happen - 1999 Pontiac Bonneville
  By David Flynn - June 29 - 2:00 am

  A vehicle that once was a perennial Consumer Digest "Best Buy" is no longer. Why? My 1999 Bonneville is a typical example. At 38K miles the power steering died. I brought it to the dealer and found that there is a TSB on the problem. I would need to pay $2300 to have the problem corrected. I skipped the repairs, a gym membership to build arm strength was cheaper. At 61K miles the the coolant system failed. Again brought it in and had $1800 and had repairs done. Two months the engine completely expired. This would have cost $8000 to fix. Total repairs needed were still $10,300 on a car whose value would be $9500 if in perfect condition.

  This bonneville is pleasure to drive - 1999 Pontiac Bonneville
  By J.ALLEN - September 18 - 5:10 am

  I purchased this car in 2000 with 22,000 miles for 15k. It has been a terrific car. Very roomy and good acceleration. I have had no major issues except the abs light has come on and off since about 35000 miles. I took it to the dealer few times they would reset it and about 2 months later, back on again. I have the brakes regulary checked and no problems . Overall this car has been one the best i have ever had. A great work and family car. I plan on keeping this one for a long time. American cars have had a bad reputation as not being reliable. I belive cars like this bonneville are closing the gap at a price that the average person could afford

  A Keeper until it Dies - 1999 Pontiac Bonneville
  By WylieCoyote - June 19 - 7:13 pm

  We bought this car in 1999, with 5,000 miles on it and I knew it would be a keeper. We have had absolutely no serious problems with this vehicle in the 10 years we have owned it. Was considering trading it in until I realized that there was nothing really wrong with it except a leak from someone putting a new front window in badly. That could be fixed, and it would not cost 25,000 like a new vehicle would. I would miss all the room we have in it if I bought a new vehicle. So we will keep her till she just lays down and dies. She is still pretty, fast, clean, and people still notice this type of car. Sorry they are not making any more. A shame indeed.
