Mikele and I really had a blast taking it on long jaunts, as well as short trips to the store. It stuck to the road like glue, even when I over-drove it and the traction control system had to kick in. Fortunately, it has big, grippy high-performance tires. The new Bonneville is way more comfortable however, and the twelve-way driver and passenger Connolly leather seats are pure luxury. The radio controls on the steering wheel came in handy and while our old Pontiacs had tiltable steering columns too, this new model has that and much, much more.
Cool tunes are essential, and so is the universal garage door opener.
I hate having to get out of my car to open the garage. I guess I can afford to be lazy as well as cautious in this modern age. The interior was nice, but exterior is a little cluttered in its design. It just seems out of place. But I do like the split front grille that Pontiac has retained.
