Farewell flagship...

I bought this exceptional car as a statement of rebellion... and got the reaction I wanted. I had wanted one of these cars for about 8 or 9 years, and with most people starry-eyed for the cheaply built Honda or Toyota, this bad boy turns heads while going down the street. The Black Cherry Metallic paint sparkles in the sun, as well as in the evening, and exterior styling puts the car in motion, even at a standstill. Interior styling has no end to luxury and comfort, and features and options are limitless. GXP specific guages and Driver information center also set the car apart, and to finish it all off, Pontiac's signature dash backlit in glowing crimson.

I had a 1995 Bonneville that I loved. I was getting to the point of considering a newer car and when I heard they were discontinuing the Bonneville, I had to track a leftover down! I love my 2005. It has the coolest interior - a cockpit style and it very comfortable to drive. I have to make a lot of 6 hour round trip drives and I love my Bonneville! I keep my cars about 10 years so I hope by 2016, they're making Bonnevilles again - without changing a lot about them!

Been Everything I Wanted...Almost

This is the car that I wanted since 7th grade, and finally this past May I had the opportunity to purchase one! I absolutely love the styling, particularly on the exterior. The pearl white shimmers in the sun and is gorgeous to look at. The tan interior is great as well, although I have been a bit disappointed with some of the material qualities, particularly on the ceiling panel and dashboard. I bought the car with 63,000 miles and have put on another 3,000 to date. Other than a couple of major repairs up front (engine mount and instrument panel) this car has been practically problem free. I love the power and handling and plan on keeping it for a very long time!

2nd Bonneville in 3 Tears

Bought an 01, SSEI, and loved it, accept that it was white and showed every bug in Ga, Al, & Miss. BUT this GXP with V8 is a Blast. I can enjoy riding around and listening to these big 8 cylindars. With DOC and 4 valves/Cyl. this car will kick ass. The super charged 6 on my 01 was quick, but this is 1.5 seconds faster. I am burning mid grade gas, and not getting the same mileage HWY or City, but the wasy it drives and sounds, it is worth it. do yourself a favor, test drive one.

I really love this car, I am in sales and drive it all over. It has all comfort I need and the the power when needed. I almost traded it in about 6 months ago on a Cadillac CTS. I took the Cadillac back and got my Pontiac back. The Cadillac was not as good as the Pontiac. It's just a lot of fun to drive, at night the dash looks an airplane cockpit.
