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.

"06" GTO - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Mark Howell - March 30 - 10:40 pmThis car is great! It handles very well. The engine has a LOT of snap to it. Under the hood is a well organized engine compartment. The seats are the most comfortable seats Ive sat in. The sound system is very good, but it would have been nice to have an auxiliary plug for an I-Pod. The craftsmanship on this car is outstanding! The 6 speed shifter had a longer throw than I liked, but after I installed a B&M Short shifter it performs extremely well. I love the "Spice Red" paint on mine. I wouldnt trade this car for anything!

This car rocks! Period - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By bobbyWON - January 1 - 11:40 pmA lot of these other reviewers who have complaints, dont appreciate the "grown ups" sports car market. We dont want giant wings that look like ironing boards, or exhaust that sounds like it came off the old weedwacker. We want smooth style, power and performance. Its about fluidity, and the new GTO has it nailed. Its fast, yet not rambunctious and noisy like the dodge "hemi" junk, and it rides very nice, it is extremely reliable due to utilizing the time-tested small block chevy. Its just an awesome car anyway you look at it, the price is excellent for what you get too.

Fast and Furious - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Mr Norm - December 27 - 3:56 amThe day I received this car all I had was a smile on my face, I love the brazen orange paint, the crazy torque the comfortable seats and the launch oh my god, faster than all the sports cars that I have own, and I had some good ones, and IROC-Z, Mustang GT, Buick Grand National this thing smokes them all I do have some performance parts such as eibach springs, koni shocks, subframe connectors, alum- driveshaft bmr axels and stubs headers, supercharger, comp cam and magnaflow exhaust. But the thing I like the most is that you dont see them all over the road. Ill keep it until the wheels fall off.

The new Vette - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Dacius - December 22 - 8:46 pmThis car is simply amazing. 400 hp and for 30k. There simply is not a vehicle that can come as close. My salesmen said that the car is made in Australia and I am starting to wish I lived in the land down under. The car purrs at idle and growls as you go through the gears. The interior is something you would never expect from a Domestic car. Absolutely perfect car.

torrid red - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By ed hill - November 15 - 2:53 amThe way the car drives even at slow speeds it great. Most people have no idea what it is at first then the original GTO folks all of a sudden do not care for it.. The aussies did a fine job on the car only gripe is going from a z28 to GTO is the seat does not go low enough but i am fine with it now. The more new style muscle cars the big 3 build the better//

Best Car Ever - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Dan - October 30 - 10:10 amMy 2006 Pontiac GTO is my first new car. When I realized they were going to stop making then after 2006, I just had to have one. I ended up driving 6 hours to get the exact car I wanted. I drive the car everyday, and love every minute of it. I love having everyone comment on how much they like the car. This car is a steal at 30k. If you can find a new one buy it, if not get what you can find on the used market. The interior rivals many high end luxury cars, minus a few frills, and will run with just about any sports car. I just wish I could buy another new one when this one is paid off.

bobs gto - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By bob - June 2 - 1:06 pmOutstanding vehicle; excellent handling, performance above expectations, a huge improvement over original circa 60s GTOs (I had both a 1965 and a new 1968)

Move out of my way! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By gazpipe - May 26 - 10:00 amI bought my black on black goat in March of 2010. I didnt even drive it, i just started it up. I drove it off the lot and hit the highway from Modesto to Sacramento. The wheels chirp with a touch of the pedal and I love my car and thank God all the time for it. No mechanical problems. My auto shifter did break (the part that pushes in to engage the trans) but I glued with crazy glue. People love to scratch up my back bumper because theyre haters and careless. Dont hate, appreciate. Maybe if they save up their money and if there are any left they can have one too. People always say "what! you have a gto!" I say "yes, black on black and I love it", it beats anything on the road!

Return of the G.O.A.T. (GTO) - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Sailmaker - May 20 - 2:16 amThis car is amazing. The raw horsepower makes it want to scream out of every gear shift. To have 400 horsepower out of dealer is remarkable.

Amazing car - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By GTOfan - May 9 - 5:56 amThe GTO is all about the driving experience. Incredible car, comfortable and most handsome interior in class, seats 4. Is a rocket ship with the Corvette LS2. This car has been overlooked by many but is an amazing value.
