Overview & Reviews

Heated seats are available on the SE and SLE, and Ivory White is a new color for the year. OnStar telematics with a one-year membership is optional on the SE but comes standard with the SLE and SSEi.

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

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

  Pontiac-One of Detroits best. - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Dwayne - January 29 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this vehicle for four years now and I have had absolute no problems at all. I purchased my Bonneville with almost exactly 60,000 miles on it and was expecting some sort of major issues, but so far they have not occurred. I live in a Downtown Metro area and drive both city (and I mean gridlock city) and highway. My average MPG is 24 which is very manageable. This car has handled everything I have thrown at it and I couldnt ask for anything more quality wise. Very well rounded competent vehicle with a wonderful blend of sport and practicality.

  Back into a Bonn - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
  By 2nd Bonne - November 14 - 10:00 am

  The last Bonne that I owned was an 87 SE...and what a change! Having 3 kids, we needed a car with lots of space - and still fun to drive. This car does everying well - but not perfect (not sure anyone does). There is lots of room, but the center rear seat is only good for the smallest child, the front seats are not as comfortable as first thought for a long drive, the auto down windows are a little two easy to activate (I am looking for issues here). Overall though, I am immencely happy with this car, and one year from now, I think I will move from this used SLE, to a new SSEi - just to spice things up even more. Considering a Bonne?? Go for it!

  Bonneville Reliability - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
  By astribling11 - September 15 - 10:00 am

  Bad experience. Bought car new. Had electrical problems for 2 months after I bought the car. I had transmission problems at 42,000 miles. Pontiac dealership fixed the problem. Then, at 45,000 miles the entire transmission had to be rebuilt. Also, electric window motor on passanger side front has gone out. Car reliablity is very poor!

  buying foreign from now on - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Wayne - September 4 - 6:30 pm

  Bought it used. At 70,000 the plastic intake manifold cracked, at 140,000 front wheel bearings, at 141,000 a coil pack, at 145,000 another coil pack,at 149,000 MAF sensor, at 149,500 another MAF, at 149,550 a MAP sensor, and now the weakly designed tranny is slipping. It was a stylish and sporty design, but after 4 GM cars and a Dodge, my mechanic has a 401K with my name on it. He even said that if everybody owned a Toyota, hed be out of business, so I am going to do my part to help him retire.

  Ten times around the globe - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
  By rdthore - March 8 - 2:55 pm

  I have over 220,000 miles on this car and only minor wear and tear repairs to this point. I bought this used with 18,000 miles in 2003 and have driven it in the harshest of ND and MN winters. There isnt a spot of rust anywhere on it. Ive since handed it down to my daughter and have no qualms about her taking it to college. Its big, its safe and with over 200k miles, it still gets almost 30 mpg at 75 mph and 20 in town.

  Not even 45 days - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
  By me - January 29 - 2:06 am

  I bought this used car about a month ago and have had nothing but problems. The car have been more in the dealerships presents than mine. Ive had 4 speed senors & fuel injectors put in, a new dash cluster which part of the lighting is burned out, a new radiator not to mention the master switch for the windows doesnt work, nor does the passenger mirror & driver side seat warmer. Hear comes the big one the engine is finished, over. But I love the car, what it stays for if that makes any sense. Otherwise, the car runs very well much power.

  Great Car! - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
  By ohioseahawk - November 12 - 10:00 am

  Best car ever owned. Have had it for over 1 year and have not had it to the dealer for a single problem. First time I have ever bought a new car and have not had to take it back to the dealer for something.

  European Road Trip 2010 - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Circo - October 11 - 10:00 am

  Whats all this about Bonnis with 35 K ? 75 K ?? 125 K? Mine has nearly 300 K on the clock and is still going strong - and as for those who dont think its comfortable - get a sofa ! Ive driven mine the whole way across the EU, have had it in Hungary for a few months and am about to roll it back to the UK this week in a 18 hr straight drive!

  Wouldnt trade for the world - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Brandyrn - August 8 - 8:00 am

  I love this car! Problems, a few but overall meets all my expectations and have no reason to trade for a newer model. I get 28 miles on the highway and 14 in the city. I have all the options where most cars today have a few. Power seats,10 disk changer,heated seats,heads up display,cd/tape player, onstar, you get the idea. Chrome wheels were pretty but crap. Front lighter a waste but the car still looks new and rides great. Easily would buy another.

  Great Car - 2001 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Travis - January 6 - 5:13 am

  I got this car at 72,000 miles in 05 and Ive only had to replace the water- pump. I got 132,000 miles on it and no transmission problems yet. I just wish the rain wouldnt get in the lid of the trunk and the headrests made sense.
