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.

  Alot of car for little money - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By JLaws - November 17 - 12:20 am

  Picked up my gorgeous stealth gray Grand Prix with 84000 miles on it for $5800. After I did the brakes and purge valve, which is a common thing to fail, it drove like a brand new car. Still feels tight after all the miles and very quiet with the windows rolled up. Ive owned higher end luxury car, i.e Lexus, Audi, Cadillac STS, so I can see the drop off in the quality of materials, but the GPs base V6 performance feels as powerful as the 300hp+ engines I am used too.I am on a budget and this car satisfies my needs for the time being. I plan to drive it to the ground!

  Rocky Start for a 19yo second car. - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Jon - November 7 - 1:43 pm

  I bought this car in December from GM with $64,000kms and it did well for the first 1500kms (so I thought). The car was sitting on the dealers lot for months and as a result the calipers seized and wore out my pads and rotors. I ended up having to replace front and rear calipers, rotors and pads in the first 2 months I had the car. Once that was done I havent had any more trouble with the car. It is a awesome car to drive, Lots of power, Handles excellent, and the it turns many heads. I LOVE the interior of the car, Its not boring like the impala or century, The car as of aug has 96,000 kms and I am taking a road trip with friends of around 10,000kms and I have no fear of it failing.

  good car - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Happy Owner - October 13 - 2:30 pm

  This has been a great car. When I look at comparable vehicles I feel I kept $10,000 in my pocket and have a safe, fun, powerful American car. Buy American had better become a way of life in this country or it will no longer be our country!

  Fun to Drive - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By jerry young - July 8 - 2:26 am

  I just purchased the Grand Prix GXP, this car is fast. We were looking at buying the GTO for sports car look and performance. Since my wife and I travel alot, along with my 2 boys, and after looking in the trunk of the GTO, which you can only fit 2 small bags. We decided to get the Grand Prix, it has good looks, 4 doors, but when me and my wife drove this car, whow, the V8 has a lot of power for a family car. It handles like a race car. Its fast, sleek, and good looking. Just in the 3 days that we have had the car, a lot of kids and adults have complimented on this car.

  Fun Car!!!! - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Robyn - June 4 - 2:30 am

  This was my first Pontiac purchase after owning Ford vehicles for several years. Overall, I love the car. Its sporty looks and fun handling makes it a real treat to own. The only complaint that I have about this car is in the extremely low front-end which has a tendency to smack or scrape the ground on almost any little bump. In addition, Ive experienced suspension problems (CV Joint and Struts) in the one year timespan ive owned this vehicle. Aside from that, I must say that I do love the car. Im a new Pontiac fan!!!

  By sammy - May 30 - 10:00 am

  This new PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT is AWESOME!!! I love this car. This is my daily commute car. I was drawn in by its sporty looks and never disappointed. It has ample power and plenty of space inside. The instrument gauges and layout of the dashboard is clean and contemporary. The drive is awesome - quite and powerful. I recommend this vehicle to everyone I talk to.

  Grand Prix - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Heather B. - May 2 - 3:16 pm

  My Grand Prix has been taken into the shop a couple of times due to what felt like the transmission slipping, but they said they couldnt find anything wrong.. It still has the same problem after they reset the computer. But they did fix a recall that was on the car. I like the style of the car and it does have power.
