  • A comfortable sleek rocket - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville

    This is third Bonneville and best yet. Very fast, economical and a joy to drive. 600 miles a day is nothing and you feel fine after. A lot of car for the money. Much more comfortable than Avalon or Maxima

    Where to start... driving home from the dealer suspension was knocking - turned out to be broken bolt. Engine kept stalling while driving - bad crank sensor (towed 3 times before diagnosed) Engine soft plugs poped while driving Steering column was replaced twice. Door panel replaced twice Seatbelt mechanism rattled and squeaked. Transmission failed after 38 months and 27000 miles. Now exhaust flange has cracked (no impact marks per dealer - it just failed) Dealer and GM have been great in fixing the clunker - it just my time that is wasted and nerves that are being wracked.

    My Bonneville has been a excellent running car for the past 46000 miles of driving. Average 28 mph driving at highway speeds of 75 miles per hour. I am 6 5" tall and weigh in at 240 lbs. and find this car very comfortable driving it up to 16 hours at a time on trips across country. Original tires still show little tread wear. Every component of the car has operated flawlessly since delivery. When car was first test driven, I reported defective seat belt sensor which was replaced before delivery. I could not be more satisfied with this automobile. Would buy another without hesitation.

    Ive had the car 3 years now and its been nothing but a headache. Traction control light and ABS sensors have been replaced 2 times and now the lights are back on again. Struts needed to be replaced, intake manifold cracked and there is now a problem with the steering box. Chrome wheels started pitting day one. Fortunately the warranty covered all repairs but the time the cars been in the shop is to much for a 3 year old car with less than 34,000 miles. Cant wait for my company to replace this car, I hope it lasts to October.

  • Very Decieving - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville

    This car is not what you think you are getting. Have had to replace racking pionion 5 times, transmission had to be replaced, new brakes in less than 5000 miles, makes popping noise all the time, front end will not stay in in-linement, Tire Rods has had to be replaced 4 times, Tires are to expense to have to ahve replaced so often because of the rubbing of the tires. Do not recommend this car to ANYONE> It is a LEMON!

  • The good and the bad - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Overall I love my Bonneville! I love the way it handles. Lots of room for taller people like myself. Gas mileage is good for the size of the car. The engine has been reliable, The main problem Ive had with this car is the windows! I have to replace both regulators in the back doors and the front passenger motor seems very sluggish. Some rusting right on the edge of the front hood not sure if thats normal for this model. I did have to have the trunk lock cylinder taken out and unjammed/cleaned. Of course brakes and rotors seem to wear quicker than normal. I also tried to convert radio/cassette to CD but couldnt because of factory settings. Otherwise I absolutely love my Bonneville.

  • Very nice car with a few problems - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    I love the look. I love the handling. The 3.8 engine continues to prove its durability. BUT, they have to redesign the split-bench front seat. Very uncomfortable. I use a seat cushion and that helps. And, I remember a time when seats were comforatble enough to fall asleep in. Not this car! The steering column stick shift covers the radio controls when in "Drive." DUH! The back seats are too low unless your kids are six feet tall. But for the money and size, I cant find a better vehicle.

  • Solid Value for the Money - 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    By -

    Ive owned my 2000 Bonneville for 10 months now and have been very pleased. It always starts easily and runs strong. Being a previous Honda owner, I had some concerns about squeaks and rattles showing up in a GM product, but Ive been pleasantly surprized, the ride is nice and quiet and there are no rattles. I am averaging 22+ miles per gallon (city/hwy combined) and there is definitely plenty of power. Only complaint is that a remote trunk release was an option that I dont have, so you have to turn off the motor, then use the key to open the trunk. Highly recommended and a great value.
