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.

  Love this car - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By MJ2 - July 19 - 10:33 pm

  I have had Pontiacs since I got my license (ok, forget the 69 Dodge Dart), but have also been loong at BMWs and Acuras. This is by far the best bang for the buck. Every time that I have gone in for service (nothing wrong) or a car wash, the car receives compliments galore. Get over the import hype, and you see a vehicle that is (hopefully) the new beginning of the American auto industry. Worth every penny.

  Fast, comfortable and good value - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Sami H - July 15 - 9:16 am

  I just bought my 2005 GTP a week ago and I couldnt be happier! The car is fast, and surprisingly quiet - road noise is lower than in BMW330i I was test driving. With the ton of GM year- end rebates, this car is a bargain! NOTE: there seems to be a rebate on leather interior - free! I found it after checking out the list of rebates the dealer had on his computer; thats free leather until 3/1/05! Ask the dealer. I chose to take the GTP without the CompG - after test driving both, the non-CompG version seemed just as fast and nearly as responsive while having a very smooth ride. Monsoon stereo sucks - bass is muddy and undefined, power lacking; will be replaced. But overall, a great car!

  Great Drive! - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Tiger II Jim - July 4 - 10:00 am

  What a drivers car! I have the GTP Comp G version, and I get a big grin on my face every time I get in and drive it. Comfort, convenience, and performance all rolled into one beautiful package.

  Fueling Excitement - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By aboatz - July 3 - 9:43 pm

  Cars are often rated by factors such as reliability, safety, and performance, but there is one key feature that most reviewers cant explain...the thrill. The Grand Prix, particularly in the GTP w/ Competition Group package, was a car that was immediately exciting to sit in, and even moreso once it was taken on the road. All stresses and worries are taken away every day when I get in it now...it has the stability and roominess of a large car, but effortless steering and power more typically associated with lighter sports cars. Not only that, but the car allows me to go fast, look fast, and not look like a pompous jerk or a pimpled teen while doing it. Accords dont have that ability.

  Fun,fun,fun! - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Fiesty Diva - June 24 - 6:03 am

  The Car is fun to drive, the suspension is much better than my previous nissan,the only thing i would change is possibly more compartments in the car for storage and possibly an additional power source for a handy mp3 charger. If you enjoy power, buy the car!

  Last of a great car - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By grand prix no more? - May 28 - 9:30 pm

  I am on my third gran prix and wish they would keep making them. This is a good car is you drive 20k miles a year. You can drive it for 8 years, get 160k and move on. You can not beat it for the price. Everyone raves about the foreign cars in this class but those cars cost $8k more and those owners put money into the car. I will miss this one when it is done.

  Comp G is great fun - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Mike - May 26 - 12:20 am

  Just recently purchased an 05 GTP Comp G with every imaginable extra available, which on this car is a lot. I like the power of this car, although it could use an auto 5 speed so it gets up and goes a bit better at higher speeds. Very comfortable up front; in back I dont know or care. My only complaint is I already have several creaks and rattles on the interior pieces which are cheap plastic.

  Great car - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By racing 8 - May 23 - 5:40 am

  This is my first new car and we love it, the appearance is great, the ride is the best that I have ever been in, has a great sound system, its quite inside the car and has a lot of room in the back seat

  Good Car- Very good Price - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By TinMan - May 5 - 5:30 am

  Overall, I have been pleased with the GTP. I have owned the supercharged engine before and its a primary reason why I bought this car. It is very strong at 260 hp- although I have not gunned it too much yet- still new. The car definitely looks cool in black- almost batman -like. I get all kinds of looks from people. Lots of features plus a good, sporty look got me into this car. I also got the GM employee price minus my GM card rebate which came out to be around 25K for a totally loaded 2005 GTP. Pretty good deal for what you get. Definitely not a boring-looking Accord or a Camry..

  Replaced My Boring Toyota Camry - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Aldo - March 30 - 3:13 am

  I purchased my Grand Prix because my wife has a 2002 Grand Prix which has 83,000 miles and the only repair was a wheel bearing. I have replaced tires and brakes but these are normal maintenance. I replaced my 2001 Camry, with the 2005 Grand Prix, the Camry was not a good car, I purchased it brand new and it had issues at 25,000 miles which were under warranty, but the last two years it was starting to cost me big bucks, it was time to get rid of it.89,000) Iwas always comparing my Toyota with the 2002 Grand Prix, which I purchased with 16,000 miles. Toyota makes a good car but mine must have been built by trainees. When I saw the 2005 Grand Prix and I took it out, I fell in love with it.
