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.

  I picked a good one... - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Longneck - July 27 - 10:00 am

  I am 66"/275 lbs. I was surprised at how much room I have. I like the acceleration and handling. I drive country roads and the tracking is superb on the curves. It gets hot down here in Texas, but the AC cools the car down very quickly. The sound system is great, too. So far, I am quite pleased and feel like I got a real bargain.

  Attention Pontiac!!! - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By April - January 19 - 10:16 pm

  I love my Bonneville but this car has issues. Vibration in front end, popping noise in the steering, leaking doors, heated passenger seat stopped working and the trunk is leaking. I have had two new passenger side tie rod ends put on this car in 60,000 miles. Pontiac you need to step up to the plate and take care of these issues.

  Let Pontiac deal with this crap - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By miket - December 6 - 10:06 pm

  I purchased this car in October 2003 with 19,000 miles on it. It now has 64,000, and Ive had nothing but problems. The reason for buying the car was that I wanted a large vehicle that didnt look like an "Old mans" car, and the fact that my uncle owned two Bonnevilles previously with little or no mechanical problems. Much to my dissapointment, this car has failed me miserably. The first year wasnt too bad, because it was still under warranty. Ive always had a steering problem, with a slight knocking sound and "bump" felt when turning. This has graduated to a whining noise. Replaced the trans 3 months ago. I could go on, but to hell with GM - tried Ford; looks like foreign now!

  Good, could be better - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By PGD - October 9 - 10:00 am

  I really like the car but I have had three trips back to the dealer for minor repairs: air bag recall, anti- freeze leak, trunk liner to back seat. All were fixed easily. My only real complaint is that a $30K car should not have any wind noise.

  WOW - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By dride9 - June 14 - 2:00 am

  This is my second bonneville. The first was a 1996. This is a 2002 and I love it. I bought it used and fill that it is like a brand new car. Love the styling and the ride. For such a big car it can out handle most of the smaller competition in the curves. I will only own bonnevilles from now on. And with the introduction of the GXP. WooHoo! Keep them coming pontiac.

  Nice, but.... - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By boonie80mph - December 8 - 10:00 am

  The comfortable seats convinced us that this was the car for us. The ride was incredibly smooth and quiet. The handling just great. BUT...the car was in the shop more than with me the first few months, due to trunk leaking, brakes squeeking, noise coming through front doors, CD playing going crazy, fuel pump rattling, headliner rattling, etc. Most of these problems have not been able to be corrected due to design problems or "cant be duplicated".

  Awesome - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By 02 Bonnie Lover - October 27 - 10:00 am

  This is our thrid bonneville, we previously had a 97 se and a 92 before that. Were thinking about goign for a maxima/altima this time but decided that the galaxy silver sle was perfect for us as it is the family car. went to the dealer not intending to purchase another pontiac because we needed change and fell in love with it. the sle is perfect all the great features with out the high cost no use to us options

  My most reliable car...ever! - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By T. Wambaugh - October 25 - 7:16 pm

  I bought this car new four and a half years ago. It now has 65,000 miles on it and all that it has required of me is to change the oil and filter. The original tires, brakes, even windshield wipers are still installed. The vehicle is garaged and run primarily on interstates at 60 to 80 mph. It gets about 30 mpg on the interstate. Around town, the mileage drops down to low to mid twenties. Although the depreciation rate is fairly steep on this car the actual dollars depreciated are far less than my wifes 2003 Lexus. The only complaint I have regards the Traction Control System; it is far to easy to spin the tires at take off on wet pavement.

  Driving Excitement - 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Dan - April 25 - 5:03 pm

  Bought used. Had the usual problems with leaking door, intermittent steering shaft noise, and now rear passenger window regulator. No other maintenance problems. Pontiac delivers is Driving excitement promise. I get 28 MPG hwy and 18 MPG city with a Supercharged V6 awesome. This car makes me feel like Im driving a luxury car with all the extras of a sports car. The interior is simple and pleasing to look at. The full power seats are extremely comfortable for long drives. I get at least 2 compliments on the looks of this car every day. Large spacious trunk. Smooth ride. Built in trunk tire inflater is great to have. Aggressive acceleration and handling. Best SPORT luxury sedan for the price.
