Overview & Reviews
There are no major changes in store for the 2006 Pontiac GTO.
- One of the best V8s ever made under the hood, comfortable enough to drive every day, interior design and quality worthy of the price tag.
- Soft suspension tuning more suited for a Grand Prix than a high-performance coupe, long shifter throws, small trunk, missing key amenities and safety features.

Domestic or Foreign? - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By RedLine - May 6 - 9:13 amThe GTO is an excellent example of a classic muscle car (classic being mid- sixties rather than early 70s)...conservative ("sleeper" rather than "boy racer") exterior styling, jaw dropping power, and almost European handling characteristics. The ride is comfortable and compliant with relatively little body lean while having fun.

Recent Purchase - very satisfied - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Kevin - April 24 - 6:46 amJust purchased a 2006 GTO 6L 6 speed manuel. Very Safisfied !!! Runs like a mid-60s muscle car, handles like an Indy racer, and gets the mileage of a late 90s family car. Im going through my "third" childhood and absolutely enjoying it !!

Love my goat - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By James - April 16 - 12:43 pmBought my 06 Cyclone gray GTO in march of 07. It now has 20,000 miles on it. And theyve been trouble free thus far. This car has a better build quality, inside and out than the domestics seem to have. The performance is first rate. Mine has the 6 speed tranny. This engine has so much midrange power...It flat out hauls.

I Got 1 - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By igot1gto - April 14 - 5:13 pmAt 400 H.P. and 400 ft/lb torque and around town mileage with my 6 speed at just over 20 mpg, what else could you want? It is great fun to drive ... it is fast with crisp handling and very effective braking. The 200 watt Blaupunkt stereo/CD with surround sound is almost as enjoyable as just driving around with the windows open just listening to the motor hum ... the fit and finish of the interior rivals any of my buddies BMWs and the 6 way power adjustable leather seats are very comfortable ... which is excellent ... especially when you consider the GTO is a reborn MUSCLE CAR built for speed and a feel for the road!

Refined, yet beastly! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Jonathan F - April 12 - 10:00 pmI had test drove many different sporty cars before approaching the GTO. I tried out a STI, WRX, BMW 330i, Evo, a G35, 350z Then, after the advice of my father, I choose to test drive a GTO. That was all that was needed to seal the deal. While the G35 was probably the nicest out of the bunch, it still lacked any ummmppphhhhh. I got into the GTO and whoa, talk about making your neck sore. I wish more people would just test drive it. Realize it is NOT an American car and that it was built out of Holden in Australia who has a following of quality that is like the BMW and Hondas, just in a different country.

GTO Got To gO - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By jake - February 18 - 10:06 amThis was the most fun I have ever had driving a car. The sensation when you push the throttle is mind blowing. The steering is crisp and responsive, you definitely feel in control even when your slinging around a corner. Inside is roomy for a sports car (it maybe hard to get in/out the rear but its comfortable once inside). All in all the only complaint I have is there is a defect in the ignition that causes it to seize (mine was fixed by the dealership in an afternoon).

GTO bad to the bone - 2006 Pontiac GTO

Its awesome - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By JJay374 - December 29 - 5:10 pmI was an avid Mustang guy until I drove the GTO, and I must say, I am hooked. The power, the handling are great. People complain the stereo being bland, I personally dont buy a HP sports car for the stereo, but thats me.

Too new to know - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By wahikan - November 30 - 10:33 amI just got the GTO, after 3 Bonnevilles, the last was an SSEi. My GTO is smaller and has a few less gadgets, which I actually like having less of. This is my first true muscle car and my first new car. Its going to be interesting to see if a stick shift will become a pain, but for now its fun. By owning the Bonnis I suspect bakes will become an issue but Ill offer a follow-up once I drive this puppy a little more. I plan to never ever sell this car. Im hoping that because of the short life this latest genration of GTO will prove a good investment in 30 or so years...

Great Adult Sports Car - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Kent H. - November 25 - 7:26 amWonderfull performing handling and looking modern performance car.This car is quiet smooth quik and solid.Im 50 yrs old and this is only my second new car, it takes a lot to get my attention but this car did.I bought it without even test driving it i knew i would not be disapointed and it was better than i expected.I have owned several muscle cars including a 70 chevelle convertible with a 540 bbc in it that i still have.The old cars are great but this 06 GTO is by far the best all around performance car that i have owned.A corvette driveline with a different body on it for under 30k thats hard if not impossible to beat.
