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.

Wolf in Sheeps Clothing - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By nac4life - April 14 - 9:16 pmWhat more can you say? 400 HP. Quiet, smooth ride, handles good and can take off like a rocket in a heartbeat. Sure the y could have done more with the appearance but thats what makes this car such a good package. Yeah some people may have bought a bad one and come on here and rip the car, but youll have that with any model. Take it for a spin, you wont be disappointed. I sure wasnt.

GTO is an awesome car - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By jeffster - March 11 - 11:56 pmI have had this car for 2 weeks now, and I cant wipe the smile off my face every time I sit in the drivers seat. Why more people havent discovered this car I dont know, but better for me because its that much more unique. Has undescribable power from the Corvette LS2 V8, great balanced handling, most comfortable seats in any car I have ever owned, good size back seat (better than a mustang), great interior design. GM finally got this car right for 2006 and now they arent making them anymore. If you are thinking about buying one, just go test drive it. This is your last chance because they stopped making them last month. No wonder this car is an icon in Australia!

The Legend Lives and Doesnt Disappoint! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Bret Salsbery - March 4 - 11:20 amI have owned my new 2006 GTO for a week now and I can honestly say it is the the most fun car to drive that Ive ever had. The acceleration is unbelievable for a four seat coupe. I am one of the few I guess that actually likes the exterior design. Lets face it, the original GTOs were not exactly ground breaking in exterior design, but who cared? You buy a GTO for one reason, performance!! Luckily, though, this car offers so much more! The interior is awesome and comfortable. The stereo is very nice. The programmable dash is great as well. The day after I bought mine I had performance mufflers installed and they just make this thing roar!!!! Do yourself a favor, get a GTO!!!!!!

06 GTO best one ever - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By GTOJeff - February 6 - 7:20 pmI have owned 6 GTOs over the years (1965-1971) and I was sceptical when I first drove the 2006 version but after only a short distance I could tell that this car was NOT a 60s musclecar it was better...more power and torque better brakes and superior handling The build quality of this GTO is superb and the interior is the nicest I have seen in all the cars I test drove (Mustang GT ,Mazda RX8, Dodge Charger) I seriously doubt you could get a better car in the 30K range with its 400hp,6 spd trans and independent rear This car is a pure blast to drive and not every boyracer in town has one

An honest assessment - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By tim - December 29 - 5:40 amThis car is addictive to drive. I have an Impala and the GTO and it is so much fun to drive the GTO that its hard to put it away when the weathers bad. I was addicted to it from the first test drive. I almost sold it due to the mpg but decided that anything this much fun SHOULD be expensive to drive. After the Pedders suspension, its been like driving a very expensive sports car.

Ultimate Sleeper - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By John Bruning - December 22 - 8:33 pmOkay, so the Monero didnt make it in the U.S. market. Under any other name, it would have been a hit, especially if the price had been competitive with the Mustang GT. Purists didnt like the exterior, non-muscle car styling, so the GTO died after 06. Those of us who own a modern GTO know the truth: this is one of the fastest sleeper cars ever built. The 400 HP V8 sets the Goat on its haunches with a toe-twitch. It handles superbly and the stiff feel of the steering wheel is a huge improvement over the numb and the mundane. Forget the Mustang GT. Forget the Charger RT or SRT8. None of those three muscle cars can touch the all- round performance, handling and power of the 06 GTO.

Truly a bargain! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Mike Parker - October 11 - 8:06 pmThe Pontiac GTO is a tremendous value. Where else can yu get 400 hp, nimble handling, nicely trimmed interior with accouterments, and that big-block burble that anyone who owned a 60s big-block knows so well? And get it all for UNDER $30 Grand? Its quick, and its fast. Its under the radar good looking, clean and smooth. It takes a supercar to out- muscle it. Its always fun to dust 100K BMWs and 80K Porsches, Benzes and whatever else comes along. The looks of amazement on their faces are worth way more than the price of this car. GM got the 2006 exactly right, then left it to wither and die on the vine. What A SHAME!

Better than expected - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By mn2006 - October 9 - 7:36 amI saved up a long time to purchase this vehicle. It was well worth the wait. For the money, it is an excellent purchase with loads of power and performance. It is difficult to go into the house once I get home. If you dont own one and are considering it, then hurry to your local dealership and make the deal.

Fun to drive - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Kelly - September 28 - 8:56 amThe car is fun and fast, a real head turner especially in red. Have only had the car for 2 months and so far the car is what i expected of it.
