This Year's Model Updates:

There are no major changes in store for the 2006 Pontiac GTO.

Pros:
  • 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.
Cons:
  • 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.

  • A bargain that will have you smiling - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I traded my well loved 2004 Grand Prix Comp G for a red-on-red GTO and the smile has never left my face and my kids for that matter. This car reinforced my faith in Pontiac and the companys ability to build exciting cars, even if its underpinnings are Australian. I think the car’s looks are great, the interior is well crafted especially for a 30K car and my car has been reliable. From a performance and driving perspective, I have not driven a better car. This is not luxury coupe loaded with all the "bells and whistles" but a back to basics muscle car with some refinement and I think this combination works. Turn the key, mash the pedal and steer; you’ll be amazed. I know I was.

    Awesome car, always eager to drive it! Needs nothing else added to it from purchase. Love the IRS and the 400 hp 400 ft-lb torque!! Price to value is definitely unbeatable, Go GM.

    i purchased my GTO in june of 06 i was pleased in the comfort of the interior and performace but not blown away. cant get much better for the price range unless you are willing to spend an extra 10 grand on a corvette or mustang shelby GT500

  • True Sleeper! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    After a test drive I had to have it! Smooth ride very fast and big leather seats! I read a bunch of reviews on how this car is lacking well I have yet to see it that way. I have had my GTO for over 5 months now and still puts a smile on my face every time I turn the key. This is truly a sleeper and rare car on the street. So much power that makes a ford owner jelious!

    I love driving this car. The pure power of that LS2 is amazing. I have been a pontiac man my whole life. I have owned a 66 GTO, 71 GTO, 74 GTO and a number of Trans Ams including a 2002 Firehawk. My 06 Goat has neck snapping power that is a joy to drive. The interior is the best of any pontiacs Ive owned. I believe the exterior could be improved even though the sleeper look at times is beneficial. I hope they bring the goat back. I did have one problem which I learned about on other reviews. The problem with the struts. When I read there was problems I went out and checked my struts. Sure enough the strut on the right side had blowen. I took back to dealer and they fixed it.

    My cruise didnt work and the stop lights stuck on. Turns out the switch was bad. Repaired promptly by dealer. Drives solid and stable with no oversteer or understeer.

  • How much can on person smile - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    When I went to a quarter mile track near where I live and I heard and saw one of these beautiful sleepers go down the track, I had to have one. Luckily only 2 months later there was a beautiful Cyclone grey one in mint condition ( you could eat off the engine) sitting in my garage. I have loved getting up every morning since knowing that I get to drive it every day. Its powerful, comfortable and the most fun automobile I have ever owned. I cannot stop smiling every time I get behind the wheel. What an awesome car!

    Holden chassis is excellent, great 400HP power with 6 speed and IRS. What else do you need?
