Supercharge It!

This is a handsome vehicle now that the universally hated body cladding has been replaced with simple molding. The driver's seat is like a cockpit with soft, comfy leather seats and an assortment of lights and gadgets that will make any techie drool. Acceleration is snappy with the supercharged engine, the only noticeable lag being when the car was being driven aggressively up a steep hill. This is a fine American performance sedan.

I have been driving a 2004 SSEi for 10 months now. The car is awesome for highway crusing. Gobs of power once it gets up and going. The SSEi suspension is pretty nice on more demanding roads, but you do have to remember this is a LARGE car and it doesn't handle like a sports car. The tires howl when you push it hard, but it is well behaved and easy to drive. Acceleration is powerful, but not quick. The leather interior is very quiet and comfortable. Adult rear seat passengers rave about the ride and room in the back seat. If price is no object, you can get better, but at this price point, GM has a really sweet performance minded luxo-cruiser.

Overall I would rate this a good buy! It has performed better than expected. The only problem is something that just came up in the last 6 months which my dealer calls "knuckling," which is when you turn the wheel you experience a "grinding" sound. I am told that GM has no solution for this which is a great disappointment to me.

I traded a Regal for the Bonnie. so glad I did. This car is more stylish, great comfort, excellent layout inside and out, the butt warming seats and independent climate control keeps the old lady happy, better handling and suspension with more power. Lots to enjoy from the Dash lighting to the leather comfort ride. Easy cruise... XM Radio and moon roof. Great car.
