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.

  Does what a GTO should - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Darrell Burns - August 6 - 8:13 am

  Kept driving past the dealer looking at it. Put off driving it for a couple of months, but after a test drive the car sold itself. The 2006 GTO is well styled, extremely solid, very comfortable, and handles smoothly. The interior is attractive, yet appropriate for a muscle car. I drive it daily, and the only negative aspect is fuel economy. I get 16.5 based on half highway, and half stop and go driving. As far as the small trunk goes, this car is built for driving, not utility.

  Dream car for under $29,000 - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Doug - July 30 - 3:40 pm

  Just got an 05 cyclone grey w/ 6 speed- -it rocks! Ive had Mustang GTs, a Z- 28, Grand National and other "enthusiast" cars, none are even close to a GTO in performance, comfort and overall enjoyment. Apologies are in order to the motorists Ive no doubt scared w/ the outrageous passing power and noise, but thats about the only downside Ive seen yet. It is also cool how much respect this car gets, lots of looks and compliments and people asking what 400hp feels like. Traction control and abs allowed for a real fun ride recently in the rain, which was a big suprise recalling other muscle cars complete inability on the wet. Gas mileage well over 20 on a recent tank w/ mostly hiway miles.

  2005 Pontiac GTO - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Rick - May 29 - 3:46 am

  I ordered the 2005 GTO with all of the features seen on the new 2006 GTO. In addition I ordered the 18 inch factory wheels and tires. The car arrived in July 2005. I is the best handling most powerfull car that I have ever owned. I would strongly suggest that it is the most exciting car that one could purchase for the money. The interior is excellantly styled and comfortable. The seating is satisfactory for four adults.

  Amazing car - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By branj70 - February 14 - 11:25 am

  I have an 06 6-speed in Spice Red and this is by far one of the nicest cars GM could have offered. The interior is as comfortable as a new Cadillac, and very original. NOTHING on the inside was borrowed from any other US GM cars, since its Holden. The only problems Ive had are the junk stock struts and theyre not difficult to replace. Also, its difficult to get replacement parts since you can only get them Australia, otherwise if you find them here in the US, youll pay through the nose. Its an absolutely amazing and powerful car, just take care of them!!!

  baaaaad ls2 goat - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By thegovnr - January 23 - 10:33 pm

  I have a 6 spd manual and I have to say its the best car Ive ever owned and Im putting this against past cars of mine such as 91 mr2 turbo, 96 Impala ss, 95 infiniti g20 and 00 Lincoln ls v8. It rides better than the Lincoln and has more power than the Impala. On one hand it doesnt handle like an mr2 but for what it is its fun to push into the corners and bring out with 400 ft. Lbs ! Sideways. The tires are cheap to replace because of size. Exhaust tone is better sound to me than the very nice 6 disc blaupunkt stereo. Bose should have been the choice on that. Service is easy. With 20k for miles when I bought it for 18k its a steal ! Avg mpg is 24 and thats from stop and go to 75 mph highway.

  Too Good to Lose - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By GTOgirl - December 26 - 8:43 am

  Bought this beast in Mar 06 n then I wrote a review in Dec 06. Since then, Ive had a baby and because of the almost impossible feat to get into the backseat (esp holding a newborn) I was forced to sell it. I cant say enough about this car. Im still unable to find the words to explain how awesome it is. Thick, solid, muscular, fast, sexy, sleek, smooth, low key but at the same time eye catching. Unbelievable

  GTO is awesome - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By JB - December 12 - 7:20 am

  If you love HP, you will love this car. It left my AMG55 in the dust!!! My friend just bought a new STI.. NO CONTEST!!! This cars quality and workmanship is one to beat for the price. Sure it doesnt have all the bells and whistles that some luxury cars do, but for the price I am saving on the sticker I can have those things installed, customized, and still beat them on the street and the price. I LOVE THIS CAR!! AND I LOVE DRIVING IT!! IT gets looks wherever I go.. Probably because they hear me coming!!!

  What a Car!!!! - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By GTOgirl - September 2 - 6:50 pm

  This is an unbelievable machine. It never ceases to amaze me with its power. The drive is just plain awesome. The 6-speed manual is a must. Just a few practicality cons, only because I use it for an everyday vehicle (which by the way I highly recommend). Access to the back seat is pretty close to impossible, in the rain the car is all over the place (which adds to the fun but takes away safety), and the trunk barely has room for groceries. But let me tell you Id much rather have that engine than trunk space. Its such a monster. Better snatch em up while you can. Unless the decide to re-release at a later date, the 2006 is the last model.

  2006 the original is still the greatest - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By 2006gtobob - July 9 - 5:26 am

  After taking a test drive I was hooked to say the least. and after finding the brazen orange color under the spotlight at a local dealer I had to have one. Less than a week later I am the proud owner of a brazen orange 6- speed that gets great fuel mileage and second looks from those not knowing what had just passed them. Getting on the local interstate is just some of the fun when those 400 plus horses are put to the test, the feel of the engines torque really sets you in your seat just proving the power is there, Pontiac sums it up best We Build Excitement (oh just to mention 23 mpg highway/18 around town occasional flogging is my est mpg) having fun

  Road Ripping Fun - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Larry - June 25 - 3:43 pm

  After a year and 12,000 miles in all weather conditions (Vermont), my red GTO still brings me smiles with every drive, a true pleasure. I use it mostly for a 44 mile commute over a mixture of twisty secondary roads, city streets, and low traffic interstate. A hoot to drive, the vehicle is well balanced with the tight crisp steering, firm handling and strong brakes expected on a 400 hp sports car. Abundant power can smoke the tires with ease when the traction nanny is off. At its selling price/performance point it is a bargain. The 6 speed manual transmission allows excellent fuel economy. I average 22 mpg commuting and 26+ on trips.
