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.

  Refined Muscle Car Defined (2006 GTO) - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Tom Miller - May 4 - 4:53 pm

  Love my 06 GTO. Truly a refined modern muscle car with comfort. I now have 64K miles on my black/black Goat (have both factory options: 18"wheels and 6-Speed manual trans). First thing I did was replace the stock shifter with a HURST billet short throw unit (chrome flat handle/black knob). Other upgrades include a VOLANTE Cold-air intake, Magnaflow cat- back exhaust system, 180 degree TStat, E3 Sparkplugs, MSD plug wires, Royal Purple synthetic lubricants throughout and Diablosport tuning. The original 400HP/400TQ is estimated to be about 445HP/450Torque. Current best fuel efficiency is 28.51 MPG at 75mph sustained on a 1,360 highway trip. I average 19-20 city and 25-26 highway!

  Mustangs? Where? - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Meti - May 2 - 9:16 am

  Its just nice to be one of the owners here. I love this car to death and anyone can talk smack but for $29k I think its worth every cent. I drove it from Lansing, MI to Miami Beach, FL. This was a good ride fully loaded. That is 4 ppl with full truck and even back seat floor with bags. Rear fender was covering tire more than 1 inch. Lovely car.

  Love my 06 and my previous 04 - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Charles Goin - April 28 - 4:10 am

  Loved my 04 enough to buy an 06 both Blue with Blue interior. Absolutely love the car. The interior is my favorite. Its like a cockpit very well executed as well. As for "ugly" I like the smooth euro look.. It was not discontinued due to poor sales.The platform is was built on (The Holden Commodore Sedan) was slated for replacement in 2006 before the first GTO hit the US. It was going to be built for 3 years to fill the gap between the Trans AM and Soltice.. Which it did excellently.

  Lots of Muscle - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Richard Smith - March 31 - 4:06 pm

  Going from a 1991 Trans Am GTA to a 2006 GTO is like moving up to the penthouse suite. The GTO embodies raw power and a fun factor that is off the chart. Once you hit the gas in 3rd and 4th gear you had better be strapped in because the car takes off like a rocket; have some fun with a unsuspecting passenger. The ride is much different from other muscle cars, its nimble and handles the road like a mid size sedan. Thank you Pontiac for reviving a legitimate modern day muscle car.

  Head Turner, Tire Burner - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Ramdy Walker - March 30 - 8:56 am

  I was actually waiting on the new Camaro, but have been keeping my eye on the "Goat" since 04. When they came out with the hood scoop and the 6 liter LS2, I could no longer wait. Extremely pleased with my decision. The GTO drives like a more expensive sports car, runs like scared cat and is priced like a family car. Ive had no problems, even though, Ive heard about the front struts going bad. What I really like about this car is, it is a real sleeper. I enjoy being on the road with a car that is virtually unmatched by other cars in its class. I would highly recommend a GTO to all my Dodge and Ford friends.

  Comfort with a kick. - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By JusFlyinBy - January 15 - 4:10 am

  I was shopping around most of May for Mazda RX-8s, BMW 3 series, Mustang GTs, Infiniti G35s, Nissan 350Zs and Subaru STis. I never gave the GTO a thought. I just wasnt interested. Thats until one day a salesperson convinced me to take a look and drive the GTO. I humored him and gave it a good look over and a drive and it just about changed my mind on the spot. Do a comparison, the GTO gives you everything these other cars have and more in some cases for the cheapest insurance and cost! Youll quickly grow on the bland exterior and start to see it as a clean, sharp design. Pics dont do justice. Go take an 06 out even if you arent interested, youll likely change your mind like I did.

  Just Bought - 2006 Pontiac GTO
  By Goatman - December 20 - 7:13 pm

  I have had my 2006 GTO for all of two days now. I took the day off work to just drive it around. I had a blast with it and plan on having many more days just like today. I recently sold a 1971 Oldsmobile 442 with a slightly built Olds 455. I restored the car and it was my baby. When I found myself in the market for a new car I needed one with power. I found out the Challenger if coming out with a 5.7L and was turned off by the thought of the price for the upgrade when it becomes available. I tested the Mustang GT and the GTO and immediately knew the GTO was the better of the two. Considering where the market is going, the exterior styling could be better, but I still love the looks.
