1997 Bonneville Review Summary & Specifications

For those used to compact imports, the Bonneville may seem bulky, but

don't let its size fool you. This Pontiac sedan is quick, nimble, stylish

and, yes, quite roomy.

And while it may be big on the outside, Bonneville is a relatively compact

package in terms of the dent it will make on your wallet. Sure, you can

load up on options, or order the fully-equipped SSEi, but the base SE will

meet the needs of most buyers.

The Bonneville, whichever model, should rank high on the shopping list

of those who want room without sacrificing performance.
