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.

    Overall happy with the GTO would like to see some classic features highlighted.

  • Power - 2006 Pontiac GTO

    I have driven 3 suped up mustangs during the 90s, I have driven many other fast cars as well, this is by far the beefiest damn car I have driven by far, and for $31,500 (my purchase price) who can beat it? I can stay up with all those fancy European sport cars for half the price. The only thing I would change is the exterior styling could be a bit more refined. The interior is gorgeous and comfortable. This is my households 3rd vehicle, so I dont need to much trunk space, I purchased this to commute to work with on nice days and for performance, period, all without taking out a second mortgage.

    Absolutely love to drive this car. Punch the gas pedal and feel the smile on your face grow. The interior definitely was a pleasant surprise over other GM cars. The leg room in the back seats very surprising. 2 adults can sit comfortably in back. Getting into the backseats can be a bit of a pain but once back their its all good.

  • 64 to 05 - 2006 Pontiac GTO

    I have a 64 and bought the 05, Wow! What a great car! The power is fantastic and so easy to use. A great automobile and especially for the price. This can only get better and maybe GM will keep it around. There are so many things that can be offered to maintain the legend, cause the new one is truly worthy of the name.

    I have mainly great reviews for my GTO. I had strut issues at first with poor dealer support. I recently added the pedders x-treme pro suspension package, new clutch and twin 400 hp turbos. We are working out some bugs with the system but all I have to say at this point is I may need to add wings and a parachute. Its a BEAST.

  • Domestic or Foreign? - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    The 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.

  • 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.

    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
