2004 Pontiac Bonneville Review:

The Bonneville is synonymous with those old-school luxury sedans that glide over the highway and pull smoothly in and out of driveways and anywhere else they are parked. It is long, elegant and refined, and it proves that there is still a place for such a vehicle in today’s market.

Pontiac’s largest sedan combines power with a surprising amount of performance engineering components to create a deceptively quick model. You might not guess it from looking at it, but the Bonneville can really move when it needs to.

For 2004, the Pontiac Bonneville has a brand-new model to show off: the GXP. It tosses aside last year’s SSEi trim, offering a more up-to-date version of class. It will be available in early 2004 and comes with refined styling (including new fascias, headlamps, taillamps, exhaust tips and a spoiler), more horsepower and a luxurious interior.

Under the Hood

Two engines drive the 2004 Pontiac Bonneville lineup, though 4-speed electronic automatic transmission is standard across the board. The first engine, on SE and SLE models, is a 3.8-liter V6. It gives the front-wheel drive Bonneville 205 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 230 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm.

The GXP uses a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine to really crank it up. With 275 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 300 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm, the GXP has no problem at all getting up to speed.

Making the GXP’s ride smooth as silk is a performance-tuned handling package that includes a four-wheel independent suspension, the StabiliTrak electronic stability system and an electronically controlled transaxle with a 3.71 final drive gear. Quick stops are handled by standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

On the inside, the 2004 GXP model is just as impressive. It has suede inserts on the seats and door panels, a brushed aluminum shifter handle and ebony interior switches. The GXP also includes a center console storage with rear heating/cooling outlets, driver and front-passenger side-impact airbags and dual-zone climate control with individual climate settings for the driver and front passenger.

The SE and SLE models are certainly no bare-bones trims, however. With the latter, the standard package includes a driver information center, one year of the OnStar system, 17-inch five-spoke aluminum wheels, all-speed traction control, heated power exterior mirrors, a 3.05 performance axle ratio and a rear deck spoiler.
