Overview & Reviews

The supercharged SSEi version of Pontiac's luxury tourer is no more, but a V8-powered GXP model makes its debut later in the model year. This most performance-oriented of Bonnevilles, the GXP, gets more streamlined styling (less cladding, that is) and comes with 18-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, leather/suede seats and a Monsoon sound system. Aside from that, chrome wheels are now available on the SE model.

• Loads of gee-whiz features, solid handling, powerful V8 in GXP, excellent crash test scores, large trunk.

• Average interior materials, overly complicated controls, poor resale value.

  Great fun!!! - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Wayne B. - February 8 - 1:30 pm

  What a blast to drive! I traded an 02 Monte Carlo in for this car and quite honestly wasnt expecting to have the super fun that the MC afforded me but after driving this car for the last two weeks, let me assure you that it is MORE fun than MC, the longer wheel base must be the difference. Great acceleration, nice cornering, comfortable seating and my family of four fits in very nicely. Had a 92 Grand Prix for years and loved it, but I dont think Ill buy anything but Bonnevilles from here on out!

  Things you should know - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Vicky - February 8 - 11:26 am

  I have owned two Bonnevilles and 2001 and now and 04. My daughter owns an 04 also and my mom owns the 01. The cluster has stopped working on all three of them. My transmission fell out at 42,000 miles. I have had other problems as well. I paid a lot of money for my car and feel like I was cheated. Other than all of the problems, the car is beautiful and rides nice.

  Long Live the Bonneville! - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By sleddriver - December 18 - 6:06 am

  I have owned this vehicle for less than 2 months (42,000 miles at purchase) and have already put 5,000 miles on it. (I have a 95 LeSabre that has 173,000 miles on it, and it is still running well.) I purchased it for less than half its original invoice, and it was virtually brand new. Im no engineer, but the 3800 Series II engine is the best GM auto engine around. This sled drives like a go kart! Road feel and steering reponsiveness is incredible compared to the Buick. (Reminds me of the old Tiger Paw commercials.) Pontiac is winning me over every time I drive the Bonneville. Should the G- 8 live up to expectations, I will be ordering one as the 12 models arrive in about 4 years.

  Great car - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Happy in Gainesville - September 14 - 6:26 am

  I have owned many Pontiacs from Trans Ams to Firebirds and this one is a pleasure to drive. Get great comments on its looks and when I open the hood, "WOW". Would buy one again unfortunately 2005 is the last year.

  My Fourth Bonneville - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Steve - May 7 - 5:06 am

  I purchased the GXP about 6 months ago and this is my 4th Bonneville and 6th Pontiac. This car is a blast to drive, looks and handles like a dream. The performance is very good (my other car is a Corvette, so I know a bit about performance) and braking is great for a car this size.

  Hey Its A Pontiac! What Can I Say? - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By evnsptc - March 26 - 1:18 pm

  I ordered this car brand new to my specifications (Cranberry Red, Tan Heated Leather, Moonroof, Monsoon Audio, 12 Disc CD Player, otherwise came with everything standard) This car is my absolute favorite out of the 4 Pontiacs I own (00 GP GT sedan, 01 GP GTP Special Edition Coupe, 04 Bonny GXP and 07 GP GT) It by far has the best steering/braking/suspension! The 4.6L Northstar V8 is super powerful but leaves me with a little more power being desired (Because of the fact that GM has the 2.0T and 3.6L which make about the same power). The exhaust sound is magnificent. I dont even know where to start about the looks of this car because it is super hot! Mine has 27K miles and is reliable.

  A Great Value - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By Russell Ruggiero - December 13 - 10:00 am

  This is my fourth Bonneville (1992, 1995, 2000, and 2004), which is the best yet. New sping and shock rates have made the ride as stiff an my 1999 MB C280 Sport. Great chassis, with good overall braking and straight-line numbers enable this offering to be a value class leader. My dealer (Perrine) is oustanding, which makes me want to buy from them. All in all, a great value in the $30,000 price range.

  pontiac owner and loving it - 2004 Pontiac Bonneville
  By alan henry - September 24 - 2:00 am

  this is the most comfertable car i have owned. i had two grand prix and would never own another. the bonniville is a well built car. for afour door sedan it handles well with out giving up a smooth ride. the v6 is quick considering the size of the car. i would recommend this car to everyone that wants a well handling full size car
