Nice deal

2005 Pontiac Bonneville SE 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

This is a large, safe, 4 door sedan built by the UAW in Michigan. It is based on GM's G platform which also underpins the Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS, and it is lighter than both of these cars. Most of the shortcomings of the Bonneville have been addressed in GM's newer models, but if you can live with them, the price is incredible.

The Great American Touring Sedan

I have had nothing but excellent luck with my 2005 Bonneville SLE. It rides very smoothly but not overly floated like a Buick. The 3800 Series II V6 has excellent off the line pick up. Important for blowing off grannies in there Camry's. The trunk will hold loads of goodies and the steering is direct and gives good feedback. I have had one problem with my steering shaft other than that I have problem free time with this car. I intend to keep it in good shape and drive it forever. Anyone intrested in an excellent car and dosen't want a Camry or Impala this is a great family/touring car. My family and I love to take trips in this vehicle. It is the Great American Touring Sedan!

I Love my Pontiac Bonneville

I had a 1995 Bonneville and with it's mileage at 128,000 I knew it would last much longer but in 2005 they made the last one so I had to make a decision and decided to get the 2005. I absolutely love it. Can't say enough about it. I can go a week on a tank - it gets me about 26 miles/gallon around town and to work. It's comfortable to drive and even spend time in parked watching movies on a dvd player/doing computer work, etc. Love it ! Bring it back so in ten years I can buy another! GM must be slowing down selling cars because they are lasting longer!

2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

I have owned my GXP for two mos. now. Absolutely love it...it's power, performance, ride, style and I could go on and on. It's comfortable sporty ride translate to a very responsive vehicle in all speed ranges. And I haven't even hit on the power to pass or accelerate...Boy, when I stand on the throttle the V-8 jumps to life and gets you were you were going, NOW!!! My step-daughter says, "maybe we shouldn't have gotten him such a powerful car" That says it all...I have almost 2500 miles on it. It is an incredibly fun luxury sport sedan. I love the Onstar and XM satellite radio..already have paid to extend the free trials on both for at least a year.
