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.

  So far so good - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By zero - December 3 - 1:23 am

  So far so good. No real problems. A couple of defects upon purchase. But nothing crazy or unable to be repaired by myself. 4500 miles and nothing has changed. I know its not a lot of miles. But I havent had it long enought to foget those problems i might have had in the beginning.. which happen to be none in this case. the styling is the styling.. think of it what you will. I think its very euro GT. Gets great mileage for the engine class, but thats not really an excuse for running an average of 20 mpg back and forth to work.

  Just awesome - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By mike - November 30 - 1:43 am

  This car can smoke 95% of the cars o the road. Comfort, mileage, performance. Very impressive, very happy with my purchase. For a stock car, this thing is VERY fast.

  Youll be impressed! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Trowbridge - October 26 - 6:50 am

  The greatest thing is power. First test drive hooked in less than one on ramp to the interstate. Excellent gas mpg 18/23 and with the power youve got this thing is sick. I changed out the stock suspension with the Pedders Street II and the ride quality is about the same but the way it handles through the curves is crazy fun. I cannot tell you how many times Ive had looks from people - every stoplight it seems, and even from Lamborghini drivers. If you havent bought one, and youre still undecided, you better try to find one that has less then 10K on it because once these babies are gone, theyll be talked about years from now, as the car that got away. Ive had it for 19 months, 0 shop time.

  Buy a Ford - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By EJT - October 10 - 1:36 pm

  Fun to drive good performance for the money. This is my second GM product and would buy a Ford next time. Have had a half dozen Fords and never saw the service department. This my second GM and new the service guy at both dealers on a first name basis. 5- weeks of ownership and already have my 3rd service appointment. Similar experience when I purchased a Cadillac Deville. No major problems but lots of small stuff. It s not the problems so much as the inconvenience. All the trips back and forth to the dealer, being late to work cause you have drop of the car and then having to leave early to pick it up.

  The real goat ! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By timbercd32 - September 25 - 8:53 pm

  I have had a many muscle cars in my years even some of the real bad boys. I sold my Vette to buy it and love it. This car is amazing! Floor it and watch the tach rev up and when it changes gears the rear end twitches to the left..Raw HP !! What other cars on the market can you buy stock..that will do that. In the old days the cars screamed the tires after you installed a shift kit..06 GTO does it stock! Its an awesome car and rides great on long trips. No road noise and great looks. You dont see them everywhere like you do so many other cars. Sadly I just sold it because of two reasons..I need a 4 door and better gas mileage.

  If you didnt get one, you lost out - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By rag - August 15 - 5:23 pm

  I love my 06 GTO. I currently also have a 67 GTO which I have owned over 30 years. I use the new one as a daily driver and find it to be extremely comfortable. My average gas mileage is about 15 which I dont think is too bad. It goes up a lot on the highway. I love the looks of this car. The people who were turned off because it didnt have the "retro" look lost out. I was thrilled by its looks. Who wants to spend this kind of money to have a car that looks like its 30 years old. The drivetrain is spectacular. Getting in the back seat is difficult but I have had myself and 3 others in the car on several occasions. I am leasing it and am planning on buying it at the end of the lease.

  GTO - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Dean Wheatley - July 8 - 3:13 pm

  I needed a sports car with back seats that actually had some performance - and thats one thing this car plenty of: performance. The vette V8 engine is the reason that you buy this car. Fit and finish is good (as good, if not better than the vette) but handling is, unfortunately, nothing to write home about. The suspension setup is a bit too soft and the tires are nowhere near grippy enough to keep traction. With 400 ponies, you need the traction! The stick shift is just awful and the stick shift is just OK (no overdrive ). Despite is many failings, I believe this is the best bang for the buck. Tighter handling than the gt-500 and almost as quick. A bargain!

  Unleash The Beast - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By BigUnit42 - June 30 - 3:56 am

  Unlike many who own a GTO, mine is a daily driver. My commute is 35 miles one way. In addition to that I take it out often on social occasions. Needless to say I spend a great amount of time in this vehicle. This is the best sports car you can buy for the price. The performance is immaculate, and a year and a half after purchase, it still surprises me. Another surprise was the quality of the interior. Leather all around, comfortable electronic seats, and a stylish dashboard. No part of the interior looks cheap or plastic- looking like many cars today. Gas mileage is low for current standards, but for the size of the engine, it can be preserved quite well if driven conservatively.

  Buy for POWER and driveability - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By BillyGoat - May 20 - 9:33 am

  After reading some of the other reviews, other purchasers seem to want a luxury car with high performance and 30 MPG. NOT !! The now departing 2006 GTO will be a collectors car soon enough, Id highly recommend begging, borrowing, or stealing the $$ to buy one. The dealer I bought from in Arizona had TEN GTOs for sale - I had the pick of the litter. Sold at INVOICE $$, this dealer simply wanted to unload his inventory...advantage ME. NO VEHICLE currently made will give you the wide swath of luxury and performance this car will. Just drive one. 400 HP, great driving position and non-descript exterior will keep the idiots wondering what the hell just flew past. BUY ONE.

  The Best Yet - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By wsw - April 21 - 3:50 am

  This has to be my favorite car ever. I do not know how many I have owned but the list includes Mustang GTs, Corvettes, Mercedes 560 SLs, Thunderbirds, etc. This is the ultimate driving machine so far. Outperforms everything else and is comfortable for my 63", 275 pound body. I do feel sorry for people that would have to ride in the back seat, but this vehicle was not purchased for them. I have had some initial problems that I believe are attributable to transit involving the front end and strut failure. Only 3000 miles so far so reliability would be slanted heavily by these problems if not properly viewed. Overall, this car is great and has me looking for the next generation.
