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.

  Best Car Ive Ever Had By Far - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Rick Francis - October 12 - 1:06 am

  Ive got the more rare Impulse Blue Metallic 06 and I love her to death. Aside from a few things breaking (Water Pump went out, Radiator died twice, gas cap lock popping loose) I absolutely love this car. Ive had several different Mustangs and once I drove this car I traded in the 94 Cobra I had to get this Lucky To Own car. I am actually designing a custom cold-air intake for mine and I hope to patent it and hopefully have it out for all you other goat lovers to buy at a much cheaper price than K&N intakes. Look for it soon! Ive had mine on the 1/4 mile twice and had a huge grin all the way down the track. Especially since I went up against a Mustang GT and won on my first pass.

  Better than the Mustang - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By 17 Year old in a GTO - August 16 - 7:46 am

  Whether driving in the city, on the highway, or on rural roads, you know youre going to have a smooth ride. Waiting at the line of a red light always makes you feel uneasy with all the looks youll get-ranging from a thumbs up, or another hand gesture. It was raining heavily one day, and I was driving home. Upon turning a 90 degree turn to get on the on ramp of I- 5, the car started to lose traction. Luckily the TC kicked in, and stopped my wheels from spinning giving me the ability to turn out from nearly smacking into a barrier. The car has been great for getting me to school, and the Dragstrip uptown. Only complaints from passengers comes from the 5th man-only 3 passanger seats+driver

  Zachs opinion - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Zach Rubenstein - July 4 - 11:13 am

  The GTO is fun and exiting to drive especially taking turns with out using breaks and just downshifting. This car is excellent for pontiac fans who want a big v-8 with a back seat. They will also know that it will knock off the competition with the charger and the corvette.

  Get back to where you once belonged GM! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Warren - June 2 - 11:53 am

  Prior to owning my 2005 GTO I owned an 04 model, until a jackass in a pickup truck crossed the center line of the road and hit me head on. The fact that I walked away with only minor injuries is a testamonial to the quality of the car and the integrity of the design. The styling doesnt meet with the approval of some people, but I find it very appealing. The GTO gets plenty of respect at the stoplight, especially from Mustang drivers who know better !!!

  Get one before it is too late! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By jay baronoff - February 1 - 8:40 am

  Disregard what you hear about the new goat not being "retro" enough and buy one before gm kills it off. I had a 64 gto as a teenager and again about 15 years ago. I have waited a long time for pontiac to do it again and the wait was worth it. The performance and the quality are second to none. I changed the front grilles and spolier to the sport appearance package items. Also bought three sets of the "gto" letters from the 04 trunklid and applied one set on the right rear decklid and two sets on the rear quarter panels, just like the goats of the 60s. Makes a big difference in capuring the gto look. I bought this as a "keeper" to tuck away and drive on sunny days.

  GM version of the M5 - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By chiefburn - January 8 - 11:26 pm

  Have always had interest in uncommon cars. Wanted a C6 vette (see numbers of these every day) but still have teen at home and needed a back seat. The power along with the not-around- every-corner availability has proven to be a fantastic match. Everywhere I go someone wants to know what it is and does it go as fast as it looks and sounds. It provides the ideal combination of usable pedal to the road power and performance wanted in a new muscle car with the comfort level the 60s cars could only dream of. Even though it requires premium gas, the 21 mpg average mileage is higher than expected.

  Great Car - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Nick - January 5 - 3:56 am

  This is the fastest car that most people will ever drive. The performance is awesome. I must say however, that the suspension does not match the engine. I guess to get that you have to spend the extra $20K and get a Corvette. Awesome car though, worth every penny.

  My GTO - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By mike. queens NY - December 1 - 9:53 pm

  I bought my gto about a year ago, I passed the dealership and saw her parked out front so I stopped and decided to look a little closer. As Im looking at her the salesperson comes out and asked me if I ever drove one. I said no, few minutes later he took a copy of my lic, gave me a dealer plate and tells me come back in like an hour or so. After about 20 mins of driving it I knew I was keeping her. Im 6 ft3 I thought the car was very roomy for a coupe. And not to mention the power and torque, I missed having a v8. The next day I picked up my new car.

  Best bang for you buck - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Markie629 - September 27 - 2:43 am

  After having owned a 320HP Supra, and a 280 HP Mustang, this is absolutely my favorite car to date. The LS2 is fantastic, along with the 6 speed tranny (borrowed from the Z06 Corvette) and the rest of the car is generally fantastic as well. The interior is large enough to fit my 62" 240 lb frame very comfortably whether in the front, or back. The onbord computer is great with more options than a car this price should have. The stock stereo is great quality as well with an adjustable subwoofer accessable through the trunk. With average fuel economy of between 18 MPG city and 27 MPG highway (based on my own spirited driving), fuel consumption is quite low. Overall a great performance bargain!

  This Car is a Wolf in Sheeps Clothing - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By GOAT Dude - August 12 - 11:43 pm

  The Holden boys get it. Big engine with great styling and quality goodies inside. No wonder Bob Lutz looked at this car and brought it to the states. Other than the Vette GM does not have clue when it comes to building a performance automobile. My initial thoughts about the car in 04 was that it looked like an extended wheel base Grand Am with a 5.7 liter engine which was just OK. By 06 the Aussie brain trust got it right. True dual exhaust, hood scoops and a 6.0 rocket engine under the hood. Mine is a red on red six speed pavement pulverizer. Gimme a break this is a 13 second car out of the box. Its a vette with a back seat and trunk with a high quality cowhide interior. None to the GOAT. RIP GTO.... The Pontiac / Holden boys need to develop a G8 coupe to compete with the 2010 Camaro and Genesis coupes. Hopefully GM will allow the boys from down under to make another great muscle car with a six speed and only two doors.
