In a town of Imports...
After taking advantage of the summer promo from GM, got great deal on Bonny GXP. Stands out in a town of sameness (Lexus, BMW, Audi) and is a great ride. At 6'2", leg room is a minor issue, but seats are great and I am very comfortable. The dashboard at night is stunning and the purr of the V-8 matches that. Strongly recommended and fun and safe to drive.
nice car-poor quality
Love that motor, handles nice with a good ride, overall a rewarding car to drive. Quality is poor, car is midnight blue and the primer shows through all over. GM won't respond so I'm going to BBB for buy back. 13 new GM's in last 20 years and this is how they treat return customers? Very unhappy with the fact they won't meet with me. Time to look at the Imports.
Bonneville Good But Bad
GPX is a great car, but if you buy a used one please get a 0 deductible warranty. Have had $6000.00 of work done. lucky all but about $800 was covered (Shocks and brake-not covered), all problems caught by dealer during normal maintenance. The problems,oil and H2O leaks, rear drive problem, Onstar/radio, control for heat and air condition, wheel bearings eta. I have one year left on warranty- lucky me.
I LOVE My 2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP!
We've only had our Bonneville GXP for 5 weeks so far - but nothing has deterred us from loving this car as Pontiac did a wonderful job! It is such a shame to see the Bonneville line discontinued after 48 great years - but at least it went out with a BANG! So far, the only shortcomings are the lack of aftermarket performance items available for it and a little lower gas mileage than I expected. But we do drive it enthusiastically as it is just a blast and the exhaust note is incredible for factory-spec. The GXP handles exceptionally well for such a large sedan and yet offers great ride quality. Luckily, I found one of the last NEW GXP's with every available option in White-Gold Tricoat.
GXP
All the bells and whistles of the Seville for less dollars. Fun to drive, but you give up a bit in the ride.
