"Bought used in 2002, only major expense since was a rebuilt tranny in 2010 for less than $ 1400. Major paint problem on front of hood, seems to be common to this model. Still fun to drive after all these years and 163,00 miles."

"I bought this car in 2008, with 96,000 miles on it for around $7k. the first year it cost me $1,300 in repairs, second yr $750, this year $4000 in repairs. I do love how it runs, very, very fast, I like the power it has and it is a smooth comfortable ride. I particularly like the radio controls on the steering wheel and the automatic lights. It runs great now but it should after over $6k in repairs in three years!"

"This was one of the nicest, most fun cars I have owned, but I had to replace the transmission @98K with a Goodwrench unit at a cost of 4K+. One PW failed. Everytime there was any serious rain, the inside got wet. Loved the car, but hated the issues that accompanied an SLE "top of the line" car."

"Bought our Bonney new in May 2000, still have it in June 2010. Great size, sporty, fast and nice family car. Heck the battery is still original, its under the back seat by the way. My wife never liked the front seats, not comfortable for long trips with naps and the head rest is akward for her. This car is great in snow and long highway trips not to mention the road handling and I came out of 3 camaro's. The repair issues were long and expensive: uneven drum wear tie rods steering column anti freeze in the engine wheel bearings struts rear window motor air cond. bearings rust on the bottom and back of all doors rust at back wheel wells rain water thru the drivers wheather strip into the back floor well fuel tank neck rust gas cap needed replaced brake line rust brake system pump spark plug wires replaced x2 cat. converter blew out(that's a whole exhaust replacement) fuel line rusted out service engine soon light malfunctions tire pressure warning light comes on in heavy snow or high water We have looked many times to replace this car but have never found the right replacement. The size and space is great for 2 adults and 2 kids under 7."

"I bought a 2000 Bonneville SSEi a about 6 years ago. It has been the best car I've ever owned. When I bought it the miles were already at 90,000 miles and now it has 183,00 miles. I have never had any problems with it. The performance is great, the interior makes me feel like im in a fighter jet with the heads up display red guages and things like that, and the exterior is sporty and looks awesome. The air ride suspention makes it feel like your in a Cadillac with how smooth it's ride is. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants an overall great car."

"Yes it is a nice car. Lots of cool buttons and features. Not to mention it lights up like an airplane inside at night. BUT with all of those buttons and features, there is a big downside. I have had nothing but trouble with my electronics. Both auto windows have failed and it is BIG bucks to fix. The biggest trouble besides the lights failing and the window falling down is the water problems. The trunk leaks and gets everyting wet. The whole entire floor on the drivers side front and back INSIDE get dreanched from underneath and SOAK the carpet and mats. Then you get that musty, wet smell. Real nice....I will never buy another one and don't recommend it to anyone....BEWARE and check the spare tire compartment for water when you buy. If it is wet or even damp--Don't buy it!!!!!!!You will be sorry!!!!"
