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.

  CompG Package makes big difference - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Aeroheadcww - May 16 - 1:00 am

  My GP is equipped with the CompG performance package which includes: Head Up Display, Tap Shift, higher gear ratios, stiffer rear sway bar, and red brake calipers, maybe a few other things. The gear ratios dramatically improve acceleration and the sway bar makes this thing handle like a dream. It still maintains a quiet comfortable ride on the highway but is rigid during spirited driving. My biggest complaint about the car is the shifting performance in standard automatic mode, it just doesnt downshift quickly enough and lets the RPM fall well below the power band before it switches to a lower gear. This is alleviated by the Tap Shift system which will let you shift manually.

  Best Reliable - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By B Boulch - March 23 - 4:33 am

  I have always owned a Grand Prix. Last year I purchased the 2004 Grand Prix GTP and love it. The looks, speed, performance and luxeries are great. My boss bought my 1998 Grand Prix and now he is hooked on the Grand Prixs. They have always been great cars.

  Absolute Beauty - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By L C - March 9 - 12:00 pm

  This car thrives on the lead foot driver that can resist temptation. This car can also double as a contemporary family sedan.

  Loyal to the Prix - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Cherise - March 2 - 6:33 am

  Although I dont love the color (I loved the cherry red that my 99 offered), or the fact that I was forced to buy a 4-door car (2-door no longer offered), overall I still like the car well enough to buy it again. Its a nice ride, has the options I really like (HUD and heated leather seating), and handles well. Its sporty, but still reserved. I love the large trunk and fold down seats (VERY useful for those of us who dont want to buy gas guzzling SUVs). I like the upgraded lighting package. The cruise control and HUD display control is awkwardly placed. The glove box is too small. The back seat doesnt afford much passenger room, but it works well for kids. A great car all in all!

  First one and I love it - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By DAMN SKIPPY - February 12 - 7:13 am

  My wife and I traded in her stratus for an 05 Grand Prix GT and couldnt be happier about the decision. I drive a Mustang 5.0 and I feel like the power from the V6 is quite comparable. The front seats are super comfy and I feel very "in control" with the HUD and the many other features on the console. Although, I wish that the back seats had more head room. It would make it easier to get our infants car seat in and out. All in all, I am satisfied with this car and hope to trade in for a new one in the future.

EVERY ONE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT LOVING THE COLOR!!!! It looks blue in some light, green in others and purple under parking lot lights at night!!! It even looks blue and green at the same time, on different planes of the cars surface!! Handles great, no matter the weather, or driving conditions, love the onstar feature, husband used it when he got lost, (WOW) Monsoon sound system to die for, XM clear as a bell

  GP GT - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By FC - October 2 - 6:43 pm

  I bought this car for my wife. Certified GM used with warranty. It offers a good drive, with excellent comfort for the leather bucket seats. Driver ergonomics are unmatched. However, with the 200 hp 3800, it feels big and lumbering. I love the rumble from the dual exhaust, but its an overall underwhelming experience. Id definitely recommend finding a GTP for more power. It has great looks and we love the silver exterior with the black leather and moonroof. Heater fan detonated recently, a costly repair without the bumper to bumper warranty. Other than that, not a single problem!

  By Marco - October 1 - 2:26 am

  Its been a year since buying the GP sedan. After the first 10,000 mi with zero problems, it is clear that if GM could build all of their cars this well...

  GTP Performance - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Paul - July 23 - 11:03 am

  From the day I bought the Grand Prix GTP I really enjoyed the performance of the supercharged engine. The only problem is the low roof line. I enjoy driving long distances the seats and gauges are excellent. Gas mileage is okay for a large midsize car. Even though the 3.8 is old technology, GM has come a long way with making the engine quite yet with the supercharger it is very responsive.
