Overview & Reviews

Option packages have been shuffled a bit, as have the wheel choices. New radio units include a CD/MP3 player and a DVD-based navigation system with six-disc CD changer. Remote vehicle start is now available in all models. Late in the model year a 303-horsepower V8-powered GXP joins the lineup.

• Strong V8 and supercharged V6, nimble handling, attractive gauges, easy-to-use controls, big trunk, fold-flat front-passenger seat.

• Build and materials quality still needs some work, tight backseat, noisy engine, not enough storage or cupholders.

  2004 Pontiac Grand Prix - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Carrie Ontiveros - October 31 - 3:46 pm

  Having previously owned a 2002 Grand Prix, which was totaled in an accident, I sought another Grand Prix. I enjoy driving this car due to the quick pick up and go and the comfortableness of the seats. The interior is much sportier and appealing. Although I do prefer the 2002 exterior better. This car looks very sporty and drives very nicely.

  It sounds great - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Thebigb - October 29 - 1:13 am

  Traded a 2003 Yukon for 2006 Grand Prix GXP. Had read review in various magazines and lived up to all of the hype. Fantastic power, great features, and best of all the $34000. list was reduced to $27,500 out the door. Car is equipped with every available option including Nav and power sun roof. GM dealers are willing to deal big time right now, and you can get those "employee discounts" without the program. This car was on the dealers lot for over 30 days, so he wanted to move it. Got it in black with black interior. Just looks real cool.

  Luv my GTP - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Jboag5 - October 14 - 4:53 pm

  This car has been fun to drive, yet is good for the family. Its the perfect car for those of us who dont want to grow up yet. It has had some minor issues, but overall its performance, I feel, beat the Saab, Volvo, and BMW that I drove at the same time. This car is comfortable, fast on the take off and is solid. I could have purchased the other vehicles, but the GTP was roomier, more comfortable, and more fun!

  My Grand Prix Baby - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Christopher George - October 3 - 5:16 pm

  This car is superb for highway driving. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive vehicle.

  This car is crap - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Dr Ratched - July 20 - 9:43 pm

  Gee. What DOESNT work on this car. Paint was peeling off after 2 years and now it has leprosy. Water pump needed replacing after 2 years. Its burning oil like a drunk BP CEO. The cheap plastic on the inside is worn off everywhere you put your hands. The leather seats are fading and tearing. Oh. And the stupid key fob wont work. Avoid this car. Avoid Pontiacs. Avoid GM.

  Great Value - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By jamesandrewcollins - July 15 - 10:00 am

  I currently lease a Grand Prix GT for $217 a month with $0 (1,000 miles per month) and I love it. It has a great sporty feel with an excelleration that makes it fun to drive. The car is wider than anything that I have owned which gives a great deal of stability when driving but makes it harder to get into tight parking spaces.

  Comp G - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Comp G - July 1 - 5:20 pm

  Excellent choice. Only problem I had was with shaky headlights. Problem fixed with TSB. Very well powered for an average 24.5 MPG. Head room space is tight as well.

  Happy with my Comp-G - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Bad Dave - June 10 - 6:40 pm

  I have now had my 05 Grand Prix GTP Comp G for 2 years and 32,000 miles. I cant complain. Build quality and reliability are excellent. The s/c 3800 is fantastic! Instant power when you need it, mash the gas and hold on. Average 24 to 25 mpg overall on mid- grade fuel. This car handles the twisties with ease and glides over the highway. Handles the Vermont winters with no problem due to a set of Blizzacks and Stabilitrak. Huge trunk, excellent heated leather seats, and sound system. Lacks a bit on headroom though and rear legroom can be tight. Installed K&N filter. Overall, a good little daily driver and nice upgrade from my previous Grand Ams. Cant wait to trade up to a V8 GXP!
