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

We purchased this car in Feb 2005; we have had abolutely no troubles with it. It is fun to drive, reminds me somewhat of the muscle car era I grew up in with a touch of class & luxury. Ours is Black with gray/black leather interior. We get the oil changed every 4-5 months as we don't drive a lot of miles, pleasure only, three vacation trips of 1,500-1,600 miles or so included in the 14,700 now on the car. Actually it is my wife's car; her previous car was a 34,000 mile, T-Top 1996 Camaro; she didn't drive that one much either; about 6 vacation trips in that car; it had the 3000 V-6
Great Ride

Only owned for about a month but so far very impressed. Expert reviewers missed on this one, traded 300C which was a terrible car, nothing worked after 3 months, GXP has great drive train, more than enough power, very good handling for a front driver. MPG so far is about 17/22 which should only improve with time
Good Vibes

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!
Excellent bargain.

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

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.
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!
