Used 2000 Pontiac Bonneville Consumer Reviews
Fun to Drive, but has mechanical issues
Bought this "used" car in March 2005. Very sharp and sporty looking car and very fun to drive. Plenty of power. Fully loaded, has all the bells and whistles that the SSEI has, but without the supecharged engine. But since we've bought this car, it had to go back to the garage 4 times now for minor, but annoying mechanical issues that shouldn't be happening on a 5 year old car. Now it has a water leak on the rear passenger floor. The wife really loves this car, but I wish we had waited and bought a Monte Carlo SS.
Very Decieving
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!

Looks and drives better then built
I really enjoy the design of the car, it is a very sporty for a full size car. It handles and accelerates with great ease. However I spend more on repairs then what I acutally spend on the car payment
Definitely Attitude
This car has been superb regardless of the trouble spots. At 1,400 miles the supercharger blew and took the engine with it. The dealer was more concerned as to what caused the problem rather than just fixing it. The heads-up display was scrambling and needed replaced as well. The StabiliTrak system is amazing and works well especially in the snow, although a sensor had to be replaced twice to keep it working. Other minor annoyances were the A-pillar trim panel keeps coming loose, the sunroof needs tightened occasionally but never leaks. Even still if you drive one you'd likely buy one! Truly Luxury With Attitude!
Jeff's 6 year itch
New 2 year old with 32k in 2002. 2 mnths later trans went. Dealer replaced at their cost, but forgot a few bolts during the repair. Yup fluids all over the engine and driveway. Rear window came off the track 2x's. Sunroof was completely replaced(glass and all) because of wind noise. Wonderful steering noise started just after 39k miles(sorry warranty done). After that my ignition key doesn't always want to turn (happens to both of my keys), and leaves the million dollar question- will it start today. 2 alternators later and 4 weeks after the last one car died again. To make if even better it was on my Birth Day (9/16). I only have 57k miles on a 6yr old car-why I ask do I have so many issues.
