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.

  • Best Car Ever - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    My 2006 Pontiac GTO is my first new car. When I realized they were going to stop making then after 2006, I just had to have one. I ended up driving 6 hours to get the exact car I wanted. I drive the car everyday, and love every minute of it. I love having everyone comment on how much they like the car. This car is a steal at 30k. If you can find a new one buy it, if not get what you can find on the used market. The interior rivals many high end luxury cars, minus a few frills, and will run with just about any sports car. I just wish I could buy another new one when this one is paid off.

    Outstanding vehicle; excellent handling, performance above expectations, a huge improvement over original circa 60s GTOs (I had both a 1965 and a new 1968)

  • Move out of my way! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I bought my black on black goat in March of 2010. I didnt even drive it, i just started it up. I drove it off the lot and hit the highway from Modesto to Sacramento. The wheels chirp with a touch of the pedal and I love my car and thank God all the time for it. No mechanical problems. My auto shifter did break (the part that pushes in to engage the trans) but I glued with crazy glue. People love to scratch up my back bumper because theyre haters and careless. Dont hate, appreciate. Maybe if they save up their money and if there are any left they can have one too. People always say "what! you have a gto!" I say "yes, black on black and I love it", it beats anything on the road!

  • Return of the G.O.A.T. (GTO) - 2006 Pontiac GTO

    This car is amazing. The raw horsepower makes it want to scream out of every gear shift. To have 400 horsepower out of dealer is remarkable.

  • Amazing car - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    The GTO is all about the driving experience. Incredible car, comfortable and most handsome interior in class, seats 4. Is a rocket ship with the Corvette LS2. This car has been overlooked by many but is an amazing value.

  • I love my little Billy - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I bought this car brand new from the dealer in 2007 even though it was a 2006. I love the power, and the looks. I added an aftermarket sunroof (it wasnt an available option). My first time at the drag races in anything worth racing and ran 13 flat in an automatic. Even though I love the car, I would never buy another one. I have had nothing but problems with this one. Current mileage is 14911. Last week a sprag in the transmission went out. A/C broke twice, plastic chromes on console and steering wheel bubble from heat, glove box snapped, makes clicky noises all over that dealership cant fix. Floor mat clips are bad design (replaces 6 times), needs a convertible seat, Blaupunkt stinks!

  • 100% - 2006 Pontiac GTO

    The body looks similar to other pontiacs, but still remains unique. Not only is it the strongest stock street car, excluding lambos and what not, but it turns heads too. To make it look a little more hot, i bought front to tail custom work. New front kit, hood, rims,tires, roof,side kit, doors,tint, spoiler, rear kit, exhaust, cold air intake, a chip, QTEC, dyno, tranny, clutch, suspension.... yeah it was plenty of cash and voided the warranty, but who gives when you got a car this hot.

  • 2006 GTO first hand - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    The car starts right up every morning. The drive is kind of bumpy due to the sporty suspension. I love the small block v-8. Runs better when driven hard, like most corvette engines. Dislike the locking mechanism for the door locks. Wont let you lock the doors with out pushing the button. The passenger seat is horribly slow to move forward and back. So getting people or children in the back is not fun. The shifter feels long, and the exhaust note is great at higher rpms. The headlights should have been xenon. The blaupunkt cd player distorts easily with bass. The steering is heavy on fast corners. straight acceleration is phenomenal. Ill never buy another one, but ill keep mine.

  • I love it - 2006 Pontiac GTO

    Was at the dealership with a friend and was talked into test driving an 06 GTO I really wasnt planning on purchasing one but wow!!!!2 hours later I was home with a brand spanking new Brazen Orange GTO This car is awesome, much faster than the 05 Mustang I just sold, its hard to believe its only 100 hp more because it seriously feels like twice the power and the interior is way better So far the car has been perfect in every way

  • My GTO Experience - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I bought a new 1964 GTO and a new 1967 gto convertible which were both very good cars in handling and performance. However, my new 2006 GTO is so much better in every way that the old GTOs do not compare. The only exception is the body style of the new GTO is not quite as good as it should be for true muscle car style.
