The Bonnie Gxp is a blast to drive. With the sweet sound of it's pipes, I feel like it;s 1965 again. It has good power,could use more torque down low, but it's a dohc engine; and really starts to cook @ about 3500-4000 rpm.I love the styling. Looked at the Chrysler 300; but couldn't handle the cheese grader front end. And please; the Toyota Avalon is just plain ugly! The Bonnie has a busy interior, but I love the red dash at night; XM radio is fantastic. Gas mileage is only ok but it is a big heavy car with a v8. But like the man said "I feel good when I get in, and I feel good when I get out" If your looking for a larger car that handles like a BMW;w/good power;nice ride,big trunk; GXP!
Great overall

Had a few electrical problems with the seats and fog lights and curb assist mirrors. Worked out by dealer. Heads up display is very nice and a great plus. The only thing I would change is a slightly better speaker system to match the kickbutt look of the car. Great all around!!
Excellent bargain.

Great car. Gas mileage @ 65mph > 31+, in town, 22.5. Super ride, quiet, comfortable. Sunroof is extra-large. Exception bargain, if you're looking for a superior, comfortable, car that gets great mileage. Picked this one up used, 14,000 miles < $19.5K. List for a new one is over $35K. Thanks for earlier reviews, they helped make decision to buy.
Good Car... But it its not for everyone!

Lets see the Bonneville SLE is indeed one fine road car, if fact the other day I was rolling on the freeway and all of a sudden my SLE was up way past the 65mph I thought I was going, it was like 80! This car is smooth. As far as being some OHC motor from a Avalon or TL its not, but the Bonneville is good at being different and is never afraid to show its American roots. The interior room with the seats all the way back can be tight but if adjusted a little the back seat can be a pleasent place to pass time. The 3800 Series II OHV V6 give the SLE more than enough grunt to pass and even blow people off the line. (handy in rush how traffic)The interior is different but still sharp looking.
Great Large Sedan

I got this car on an impluse buy. Always wanted a Bonneville since I sold my 77. The Bonneville makes me rejoyce for whats American. It's roomy, powerful and stylish. I don't care that its FWD. I like the torquy 3800. There is also that performance axle ratio which gives it alot of off the line kick. I truly love driving this car. Took it on a 2500 miles and drove it in the mountains with the FE2 ride this car was alot of fun. My fuel economy was okay. My 3400 Impala will do better. But thats the cost you pay for performance. I am so happy with my Bonneville SLE, if I had money I would buy another one but it would be a GXP. GREAT TOURING SEDAN! Its a great sporty family sedan!
