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.

  • YES! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I wanted a GTO since they came out in 2004, I finally got one, in an automatic burnt orange. I couldnt be happier with this car. So far I have only put about 100 miles on it in town. It sure does turn some heads. This is pretty much the only sports car I can drive being that I am 67" 370lbs. I tried getting in a challenger, and charger, but the center console dugg into my leg in the wrong spot, and the insurance on the SRT8 was ridiculous. Plus the GTO will beat the 50k SRT8 all day long stock to stock. Hell if I put 50k into my Goat, I would have a 1500+hp car. In my opinion the GTO is the best muscle car. If you are looking at on, GET IT, if you have one LOVE IT!

  • Everybody should have one! - 2006 Pontiac GTO

    I have owned a 350Z, Acura, and RX-8. When I traded in my mazda for this car I was a little hesitant, but I am glad that I did. Aside from the power, the car is very confortable and roomy. I feel as though I am driving a cadillac the ride is so smooth. Many have said that the cars looks dont appeal to them, well it looks much better from behind the wheel. I am lucky enough to have gotten a 6-speed and it has been a pleasure. Oh, and by the way it has a 6.0 liter V-8. Enough said. If you are in the market for a practical rocket, this is the way to go.

    in love with GTO. Performance amazing, fit and finish perfect, interior appearance and quality excellent, understated external beauty, gas mileage very good for 400 HP and 400 lb/ft of torque, did need to upgrade stereo. That is my 2006 GTO experience. Do not test drive if you hope to sleep at night without owning one.

    very nice car and great performance. i was surprised that gas mileage i did get on a recent trip was almost 24 mpg with 6 speed manual. i have 2005 bmw 330i and only get 27 mpg on the highway. i was worried about insurance rates but my insurance dropped about $600 for the year. cant figure that out and did not ask any questions.

  • A true sports car (its the torque not hp - 2006 Pontiac GTO

    Bang for the dollar, best under 30k,A true sports car is RWD and with 400tq, you can kill 90% of the cars out there stock. I tell you why I bought this and not anything else. Also considered EVO/STI-good AWD but unless you live in snow, modify and then you ll get power. 350Z - very low tq and slow at topend , not comfortable Cobra-Fast car , about the same as GTO but interior is worse than a corolla. M3-best handling, but I am not going to the circuit, I want something comfortable and fast as a daily driver. Also the LS2 is very reliable stock and If you want 550Hp coming outof this beast ,slap a 5k supercharger. Love the whine. seats more comfortable than a C class mercedes,

  • Best Bang for the performance buck! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Outstanding performance for the price of admission! A Corvette with 4 seats. Exterior styling could be more stylized. Gas tank placement needs revision to free-up trunk space. Sound system leaves much to be desired. Once you drive it, nothing else matters!!!!

    I did not think they would ever bring the gto back wow what A car, excellent. I had a 1965 and a 1967 this 2006 is by far a much better car in every way, its to bad that they are going to stop making it after the 2006 are gone. Sadddddddddddddd

  • Goat-Tastic! - 2006 Pontiac GTO

    I love this car. Owned a supercharged Cobalt before this and the power in the GTO is so great over the latter. I have recently added an 80 mm turbo amongst other things and am running at a cool 1011 hp off the dyno. I loved this car stock and love it even more with the additions.
