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.

  The Great One - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By PG - December 23 - 4:20 pm

  I have a 6spd manual Spice Red Metallic with the black interior. It was love at first drive. I grew up riding in my uncles 1968 GTO so when Pontiac came out with this car I knew that some day I had to own one. The torque of the LS2 is something you cannot describe accurately with words and the 6 spd makes it even more blissful. The suspension is adequate but you wont be winning any autocross meets anytime soon. Contrary to what some people may think as far as styling is concerned, the original GTO was nothing more than a dressed up Tempest with a bigger engine so I dont see the big deal with purists wanting a retro looking Goat.

  GTO is by far the best car I have ever owned. Fast, powerful, comfortable, handles and rides beautifully. There is nothing else like it.

  Ive owned many 60s & early 70s muscle cars. The 2006 GTO is the fastest cart Ive driven.

  I love my GTO. Ive owned it since 1/06 w/o any problems, never been back to the dealer. I like the styling. This is 2006 not 1966. The 2006 GTO can compete with the German and Japanese imports with interior & exterior styling,quality and price. What the imports dont have is an LS2 400/400 engine. No comparison. I looked at Mustangs but interior was too plasticy and a little tight. Im 64 200 and sit very compfortably in my GTO. I like having a unique car. Fords sells over 200,000 Mustangs/yr. Less than 15,000 GTOs /yr. Some people have complained about the GTOs styling but its 2006, not 1966. Mustangs retro look is good. But dont take anything away from the GTOs modern look.

  Orange GTO - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Kevin - August 14 - 3:30 pm

  Very nice ride which offers comfort and performance. Fun to drive and lots of second looks from car enthusiasts. Suspension is well tuned. Huge brakes are an advantage when you are thrusting 400 HP around. Style is good but could have been a little better when compared to some of the alternative vehicles but once you sit in this car and feel the thunder underneath and accessibility of controls you will be hooked. This car blows away my Z-28s and Formula Firebirds not to mention the Ford Mustangs encountered. Hope to see the GTO return. Early rumors indicate that it will be reproduced on the Australian Z body platform as will Camaro. GTO, fuel for the soul.

  garage trophy - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By yuba4 - May 6 - 3:16 pm

  bought new in 2006, manual trans. After initial problems with front struts (bad oil from factory), and subsequent front anti-roll bar link failure, car has run well. Its basically an engine with a car tagging along. Shifter rattles. Otherwise, Im very happy with it. Love the styling and the ride, fuel economy good for a 400HP (typically 22.9 mpg). Low overhang in the back. I added a receiver (for bike rack), and it hits the ground on some driveway exits. Outward visibility is poor, but thats a style compromise. Ingress/egress hampered by low doorway - still hit my head on that. Love the car - probably keep 20 years.

  First performance car! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By gto400 - May 3 - 12:53 pm

  From the day I bought my 06 quicksilver GTO had a smile on my face everytime I get behind the wheel. I like the fact that you do not see one on every corner and get a wave from fellow GTO owners on the road. Averaged almost 25mpg and 400 miles to a tank when I drove from New Mexico to Michigan.

  Corvette for the family - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By bdavis - April 25 - 9:26 pm

  After buying the wife her convertible, I had eyes on a new Vette, but with a 12yr old still at home 2 seats just did not fit. Have had performance cars all my life (from SS402 Chevelles to 5.0 Mustangs, Shelby Z Daytonas, Turbo 350Zs and still have a 76 vette )and enjoy a car you dont see every day. Researched and found the GTO, power, handling, comfort and different styling. Found a 7500 mile 06 6spd (owned for only 3 months) and have smiled ever since. It is not a BMW M5, but the performance numbers are close enough, and my son enjoys riding in it as much as I enjoy driving it. Not to mention it is less than half the price of the M5 and a lot less to insure.

  My 06 ls2 Pontiac gto is an automatic and its great fun to drive with the 0- 60 at 4.4 sec and runs 12.8 1/4 mile down the track. it can pretty much beat anything out there!

  Traded my CTS for this baby - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Jenn - February 1 - 6:03 pm

  I was sold on this vehicle the first test drive. There was no lag in the response to the gas like in my CTS. I do not feel the roll as stated in some reviews, maybe I need to try the turns a little faster :) Most work days I spend 6-8 hours driving. This car is comfortable. The strong support of the seats makes you feel like the seat was handcrafted with you in mind. Fast, fun and made in America, what else can a girl say!
