Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: It has Plenty of Room and a Smooth Ride.
Cons: The price, a fully loaded one costs about $35,000.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a smooth ride with performance and comfort than I highly recommend the 2001 Bonneville SSEi.
Excitement it is with three different models to choose from the SE, SLE, and SSEi. This review will mainly be on the SSEi model with a 240 horsepower supercharged 3.8L V-6.
You talk about excitement the 2001 Bonneville SSEi not only handles...

Pros: Good room, large trunk, plenty of power, good head lights and safety features.
Cons: Poor placement of the Speedometer and Radio
The Bottom Line: This is a really nice car.
I recently rented this 2001 Pontiac Bonneville.
I didn't think I'd like it at first and to tell the truth
it took me several miles driving in it before I did like it.
This sleek four door sedan has style and a sporty look....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Tried and true drivetrain, nice looking exterior design.
Cons: Wind noise at highway speeds, poor wet traction with OEM tires.
The Bottom Line: The New-Style Bonney continues to look good. I would recommend this car to someone who has a small family and does not want to join the minivan club.
I was in the market for a reasonably-priced full-sized sporty car that would take my whole family on the interstate to visit relatives or around town shopping in relative comfort. My wife and myself, then my 6 year old son, 5 year old daughter and 3 ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Powerful engine, stable handling, exterior appearance, convenience features
Cons: placement and complexity of stereo & climate controls, shape of rear seat
The Bottom Line: The Bonneville is a solid and powerful contender as a sports sedan.
I rented a Bonneville as a temporary replacement while my usual car is in the shop for body repair, and would like to share my impressions with everyone.
The exterior is quite sleek and aggressive, yet surprisingly quite tasteful and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Large 4 Door sedan
Cons: Pontiac sells a better car for less
The Bottom Line: A solid sedan that is overwhelmed by too much makeup.
I rented a Bonneville in Denver for an overnight business trip. I logged about a quarter of a tank, which is roughly 100 miles of mostly highway driving.
The Bonneville is an aggressively styled, large 4 door sedan. This particular car was...

Pros: Very comfortable, plush car! Near luxury car.
Cons: Price, bigger than our garage would accommodate.
The Bottom Line: Good sports car with a lot of power.
Our shopping experience
Before we bought our new car, we shopped around a lot, and compared the Bonneville to the Buick Regal, Nissan Maxima, Toyota Avalon and the Olds Aurora. The Bonneville was VERY impressive, and a nice looking car.

Pros: Roomy, comfortable ride. Plenty of power.
Cons: Head rest is useless.
The Bottom Line: A vehicle that I enjoy driving as much as looking at
Purchased a Bonneville SE from CarsDirect in May 2001. Was
going to purchase a Grand Prix because of its sportier look,
but decided a Bonneville was worth the extra few thousand dollars for its roominess and smoother ride.
My favorite...

Pros: Looks, performance
Cons: cant quite squeeze into mini parking spaces
This Pontiac powerhouse is amazing! The 3800 engine is supremely powerfull, with no hesitation to perform under one's hard pressing foot.
The interior has loads and loads of room, and is very very comfortable, altough there are almost too many...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: styling, drivetrain
Cons: price
The 2001 Pontiac Bonneville is one of the best four door American cars made. Redesigned for 2001 the Bonneville retains a vastly similar drivetrain to past models but boasts a complete visual change. Although, I did like the styling of the past models,...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good pickup speed; relatively problem-free; safe.
Cons: Not much back seat space; bad MPG; horrible turning radius.
The Bottom Line: Not for everyone, but if it's for you, then go right ahead.
I owned a 2001 Bonneville SE for five years, from March 2003 until about a week ago (Feb 2008). It survived a couple fender-benders with no real problems. The only work I had to have done was replacing both the front tie rods, one at 60k and the other ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Lots of room, sturdy handling, awesome lights inside at night.
Cons: Placement of radio behind gear shift, tachometer behind steering wheel.
The Bottom Line: A PERFECT FAMILY CAR, TRAVEL CAR OR COMMUTING CAR. LARGE, PLUSH, COMFORTABLE AND STURDY - WITH A LITTLE BIT OF STYLE.
This is my first large size vehicle purchase. I've always bought small to mid-size vehicles. Most large size vehicles feel like they are driving you. They are not easy to control. This vehicle is large, but when you are inside it doesn't feel like your...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth power, excellent features. Pleasing to the eye in and out.
Cons: Hard riding Eagle RS-A tires.
The Bottom Line: After every new car I've purchased, there were trade-offs to get one feature over another. The Bonneville satisfies me no matter what I am looking for in a car.
Have driven this car 1300 miles in the first month. The most important feature of this car is the multiple personalities it has. I've owned a sports car (Mitsubishi Starion) that drove well but lacked creature comforts and couldn't be used for long...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great Looks, very nice ride, responsive handling, comfortable interior.
Cons: Poor color selection, some options should be standard in a car in this price range.
The Bottom Line: When we considered all that is factored into a new car purchase; fuel consumption, comfort, price, features, looks, and add in the fun factor, we chose the Bonneville.
The Bonneville always seemed out of place in the Pontiac line-up. The division of GM meant to be sporty had an unsporty car for it's flagship. This is no longer the case. The new Bonneville has Pontiac's aggressive looks and combines responsive...

Just picked up my 2001 Bonneville SLE. The thing is fully loaded. I researched this car before purchasing it and found next to no major complaints. Of course there were some little complaints from owners such as the size and stuff. I drive an ...
