1993 Pontiac Bonneville Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Pontiac is recognized as GM`s performance division, which gives theimpression performance is measured only by 0- to 60-mile-per-houracceleratio ns and the body sitting flat in sharp turns, not 60 to 0 braking orthe car holding steady and within the white stripes when snow, ice or raininhibit travel. The SLE brought peace of mind driving in the Snow Belt. The SLE is analternative to a utility vehicle. Its ability to scoot from the light in theSun Belt is an added bonus. The SLE acted like the original Bonneville SSE, the car that popularizedthe term ``sports sedan`` and taught a generation... |

1990 Pontiac Bonneville Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...GM`s newest toy, for example, is the express power window. Push the button when you approach the toll booth and the window goes all the way down. That`s fine for toll booths, but a pain at most other times when you only want to crack the window. We usually enjoy remote keyless entry, the system in which you push a button on the key fob and the doors and/or truck lid unlock as you approach with arms full of packages. The fob on this car had a hair trigger. Several times as we started to walk away, the system would acti ate and the trunk lid would pop open as we pushed the fob into a pocket... |

1994 Pontiac Bonneville Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The "i" version of the SSE line is the heaviest of the models, and this contributed to ease of ride as well as having a moderate effect on off-the-line acceleration. The engine in the car is a 3.8-liter V-6 that is pulling a sedan weighing almost 3,700 pounds, not exactly light weight for 0-60 mile-per-hour runs. So even though you have 225 horsepower in hand and a driver selected "Performance" mode for the four-speed automatic, 0-60 lies in the low 8 seconds bracket. Acceleration in the mid-speed range, what with no turbo lag from a Roots- type supercharger, was immediate. Top speed of the... |

2005 Pontiac Bonneville Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...In addition to leather-appointed seats with suede inserts, the GXP sedan gets a brushed-aluminum gearshift handle and carbon-fiber trim. A CD player with Monsoon sound entertains GXP occupants, who also benefit from dual-zone automatic climate control. Under the Hood The SE and SLE are equipped with a 205-hp, 3.8-liter V-6.

Side-impact airbags are standard in the GXP and optional in other trim levels... |

1991 Pontiac Bonneville Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...There are two concealed cup holders in the front door panel map pockets and one that folds out from the center console. Rear seat passengers can fold down an arm rest, which contains two more cup holders. The test car featured an overhead console with built-in compartments for sunglasses and a garage door opener. It even has a lighter-type plug for an electrical accessory such as a radar detector. Bonnevilles equipped with the optional electric sunroof do not have this overhead console. The power seats have multiple adjustments and can be operated easily. In tead of placing the switches onthe... |

1993 Pontiac Bonneville Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The interior and exterior trim pieces fit snugly, the paint was flawless and all the gaps between the doors, fenders and trunk were straight and uniform. When a car is built that well, you can feel it in many ways. The test car was quiet on the road, and there were no squeaks or rattles. The SLE features electrically adjustable leather bucket seats with a console-mounted floor shifter and a full, clea set of analog gauges - exactly the right combination of ingredients for a serious sports sedan. I spent a considerable amount of time in the test car riding in the back seat. One can sit there... |
