2003 Bonneville with 160,000 miles

I am 18 years old and this was my first car. I bought the car two years ago with 130,000 and it ran great. I still have the car and it's still going strong with 168,000 miles. The only thing i have had to do with it is scheduled maintenance (oil changes, balancing tires, etc). Fuel economy is great for a 6 cylinder. It has a very smooth ride, and i like the comfortable leather seats. It also rides quite well at 120 mph. One of the only things i do not like about this car is that it is quite heavy, and does not stop as quickly as many other cars I have driven.

Did lots of research on this car and reviewed this site alot. This car is AWESOME! It is stylish inside and out, inside dash is unreal, lots of fun gadgets and cool dashboard at night. The ride of my SSEi is like `floating` on air. Best car I have ever owned. Lots of fun to drive. Even let my wife drive it sometimes!

Wish I could buy another car new just exactly like mine. 281,000 miles. Only major repair has been replacing intake and valve cover gaskets.... Knock on wood....Shooting for 350K with no major repairs...

I bought a 2003 bonneville when it was 8 years old with 86,000 miles and it was in perfect condition! Besides routine things, I never had work done on it. It got great gas mileage on the highway and was a smooth comfortable ride. I recently totaled it when we got a snow storm but I walked away completely fine! It still drove and the engine sounded fine but a lot of body damage was done. I'm looking into getting another bonnelville. Great cars! Very roomy (especially the trunk) and looks sharp too. I would definitely recommend this car for anyone especially for a family car.

This is a very exciting and responsive automobile to drive and own, not only is it fun to drive it has class. You folks do not rate it high enough on your car ratings. This car is as good or better than the forign imports and you can take that to the bank. I will put my Bonneville against any of them. The Mercedes and Lexus's don't have anything over this car. This car will eat them up for breakfast. I know I have done it. I work for Daimeler Chrystler and they don't make a ride this good.

Steering Nightmare

A lot of fun to drive, not bad on fuel consumption, and has good looks. At 5,000 the steering rack was replaced, and at 26k we had the intermediate shaft in the steering box replaced w/ a new part. At 40k the cluck,cluck, noise started again "intermediate shaft" the dealer along w/ GM claims there is no safety problem and live with the noise. I'm 55 and this was my last GM product.

This car is a pure joy to own. In 150,000 miles there have been no repairs other than regular maintenance and crash repairs. The fuel economy is very good, better than some of my friends with much smaller cars. Just a note, this is just another in a long line of nearly flawless GM cars that I have owned. Bravo!!

This car is smooth sailing, comfortable, and just an all around great car. You'll love it! I've had it for 2 years and put some good miles on it....because of my jobs and visiting family out of town. Had ball joints replaced and CV joint on drivers side replaced. Other than that....it's been a really great car. I'm just wanting a smaller car because I'm a delivery driver.
