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.

  Great buy and fun to drive - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Arlin - November 20 - 9:33 pm

  Bought a 2004 GTP for myself and this year a 2005 GTP for my wife. Both are great cars, however the 2005 has the heads up display which is nice and the XM radio which is a dream. Speed and handling are superb even in snow. Traction control saved me on black ice! Only down side it is a little tight with people in the back seat as I like a lot of leg room when driving. Styling is subjective but it appears mean looking particularly in black.

  I feel like a Giant in this thing - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Dr. Rob Rice - September 15 - 1:53 am

  All-in-all, I love this car. Handles well, all the gadgets you can ask for and its beautiful. However, Im not a giant (just 61") yet I either have to slouch or lean my head. XM radio should be moved to front or all the way in the back - its covered with sunroof down which makes for poor XM reception especially when traveling S. Both interior and exterior are stylish. People are definately jealous when they get in. Heated seats are awesome. I hate winter.

  grrrreat vehicle - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Keith McDonald - September 10 - 2:10 pm

  Just bought the new GXP, my first Pontiac. Have had Chevy, Geo, Nissans, Toyota, and Mazda before. This by far is the slickest, most powerful, fun to drive, and packed with the most features for the money. This one came fully loaded with everything except navigation system. The driver and passenger seats are very soft and comfortable and can be positioned in numerous ways. Dual climate climate control is nice. Radio automatically adjust for sound as you speed up or slow down. The V-8 will cut off 4 cylinders once you get to cruising speed to save gas mileage. This puppy gets about 27 MPG on the highway which is nice for a V-8 with 303 hp.

  2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP w/Comp-G - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Larry Boulier - August 8 - 12:53 pm

  My fiancee and I love this car! Fun to drive and plenty of zip off that supercharged 3800 series III V-6 rated at 260+ hp. Styling is eye appealing, the first day we took it out we received several compliments at stoplights and one challenge from some uneducated teen in a Mustang - sorry son- not my fault the 4-door "family car" left you in the dust. LOL! The vehicle interior is full of fun gadgets- though the number of buttons can be a little overwhelming at times - each serve their purpose and are nice amenities to have - such as Heads Up Displace, XM Radio, On-Star, Monitors for Oil Life, Average Speed, Trip Time, Gas Mileage and many many more helpful and informative and SAFETY!

  great value - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By docV8 - July 12 - 4:30 pm

  I had to go a ways to find this car, but it was worth it. I was looking at this or a BMW 545, and this took the cake (yes, really). Interior feels wonderful, exterior is beautiful. Power is everywhere. Despite what journalists are saying, torque steer has not occured yet, but for one time when it was floored at 10 MPH on uneven pavement. All I had to do was hang on tighter. Rear drive cars will break traction and get all twisted up (slip/regrip/lurch)if you floor it on uneven pavement, so whats the big deal? I guess some self proclaimed enthusiasts like to kick out the rear end around corners, but if you ask me, Id rather stay pointed where I want to go. Back seats are great too.

  Yes, I do own the road! - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By rfesmt - June 25 - 1:23 am

  Driving the Grand Prix is nothing but pure excitement that gives confidence to any driver and a little attitude. With the quick acceleration and easy handling you can glide over any road imaginable and avoid those potholes on your daily route to work. I am a very satisfied customer and if you see me coming just get out of my way. That Pontiac is a mean machine!

  Sporty and comfortable - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By DIANA WRIGHT - May 31 - 6:06 pm

  This car has a lot of power and maneuvers very well with the front wheel drive. It has a sporty appearance but yet roomy on the inside. The front seat is extremely comfortable and there is lots of room in the back seat for 3 more passengers. I also like the easy access to the trunk from the back seat. This is a nice feature for long road trips. We really enjoy our GRAND PRIX we had a GRAND AM for years and were excited to see the GRAND PRIX.
