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.

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.

Sleeper - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By blackgoat - September 3 - 7:50 amI purchased an 06 GTO over a year and a half ago and still smile every time I start it up. It is by far the best car that I have ever owned and a blast to drive. The car looks much better in person than in pictures and most people have no idea what it is. The engine sounds great and the acceleration is impressive. The car may have sold better if the styling was more retro and less European but it is nice driving a car that you dont see at every stop light. The seats are very comfortable and the gas mileage is not too bad considering the power under the hood. It has been very reliable and the car can be modded if 400 hp is not enough for you.

Most bang for the buck - AWESOME - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By Jimmy - July 16 - 1:46 pmRecently purchased a Red 2006 GTO. This car is outstanding considering the price range. I can stay up with anyone on the road, including high priced Euro sports cars. Very fun to drive. Handles well, very rigid and well build, no sway whatsover. Test drove a Dodge Charger prior to purchase, and there was no comparison. I have owned and driven many Ford Mustangs, and other very fast vehicles, the GTO demolishes all of them. The one negative would be... the exterior could use a bit more styling and not look so much like a typical Pontiac. Although you can look at like this, it blends in with traffic, not to fancy looking, and it is a true SLEEPER. Beautiful interior!!!

Wow - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By GoaTlOver - May 16 - 11:06 pmAfter spending 6 years in Italy, I was looking forward to buying a new Mustang. Boy, am I glad that I found a GTO still sitting on the new car lot in early 2007. This is an absolutely outstanding vehicle. The 6.0 and 6 speed tranny are a blast to use on a daily basis and they still get respectable mileage. I really cant believe that GM could not sell more of these. Thats ok though, I got mine brand new and saved about $5000 off of the sticker price.

GTO---Gas, Tires, and Oooooooooooohhh - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By GTO DAN - April 2 - 7:26 pmI have owned 3 GTOs....1968,1969,and a 1970. I have owned the 70 since 1979. My son and I are rebuilding the 70 from the frame up. This will take several years and I need horsepower!! When I first saw the 2004 GTO, I was upset! It was missing all the markings of a GTO (single exhaust,no hood scoops,etc..etc.)When I saw the 2006,I test drove it. What a ride!! I love this car!! Please dont tell my 70. The build is perfect. No flaws,tight fit,comfortable, FAST and gas mileage!! I chose the automatic and it shifts perfectly and matches the engines output no matter what the throttle position. I cant believe they stopped making it! The best way to describe the car is a 4 seat corvette!! GO GTO

06 Pontiac Goat -- awesome - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By RidgeGoat - January 5 - 4:56 pmWhat a fun car to drive. I wanted a daily driver with some kick. Have had all the BMWs,Mercedes,Audis etc.... This car is power (400HP). Its just a great, comfortable car. I would rate it 10 in everything except gas milage (of course), I drive it 70 miles a day and its a pleasure. Has a great engine rumble to it. Stereo is pretty good, I do miss a compass and outside temp (loking to buy aftermarket rear view mirror that has it built in). To sum it all up, this car makes driving what it should be FUN! Plus there are loads of aftermarket goodies to buy. Go get one a have the next american classic. Sorry to see Pontiac saying goodbye to this rocket.

Refined Muscle Car w Subtance over Style - 2006 Pontiac GTO
By StealthLS2 - December 14 - 8:53 pmRe-introduced in 2004, the GTO early press reviews raved about the driving experience, interior and build quality, but the exterior styling left everyone underwhelmed. Many of us who fondly recalled the GTOs of the muscle car era felt the new version didnt live up to the memory, and sales didnt meet GMs expectations. Oh so many missed a great car. Open the hood and you will find one of the best motors on the planet, the General Motors LS2, a 400 horsepower V8 that can motivate you to 60 in under 5 seconds. Stealth looks combined with the LS2 power plant make for a modern muscle car with capabilities that require you take a deeper look to fully appreciate.
