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.

  I fell it is to small, I paid 32,000 and went back 6 months later to trade in and they only wanted to give me 16000. Feel every bump, speakers vibrate too much

  Overall the most bang for your buck in a mid-size four door. Can not imagine why it only received a 6.9 by the editor. My only 6 was fuel economy.

  numerous problems - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Paul - August 7 - 10:46 pm

  bought this car new, now has 76K. Have replaced front hub, needing 2nd rear wheel speed sensor, and heads-up display is out. This car has left me stranded on the road 3 times with electrical or fuel problems that they cannot find, always in hot weather, stop and go, driving. Acts like something going thermal. Left me sitting in Nashville for a weekend the first time. Now the front end is falling apart. It will probably be gone soon! This is my 3rd. new GM and by far the highest cost to maintain. Have a 90 Baretta with 240K that has needed less!

  Have had problems with the shocks, brakes. Winshield wipers squeak no matter how much rain/water is on them. Has no pick up. Very comfortable though, a great family car.

  If I knew then what I know now - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Stuck - January 5 - 5:26 pm

  This is the most expensive car I have purchased and it has been in the shop for 4 major issues 6 times in just over 2 years. At 2 weeks check engine light-replaces senor. Then sun roof leaked twice and flooded car, burning oil-replace exhaust gaskets, steering wheel noise - had to lube steering shaft, now lights in dash burned out and constant vibration in steering wheel. Just afraid what is next? Stuck payment wise or would dump this lemon.

  Blue/Green Chrystal GXP - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Toni Ahlgren - January 4 - 11:46 am

  My 2005 GXP is an outstanding performance sportscar. I love the output from the engine when I step on it. It feels like the rear-axle is somehow kind off "glued" when I stop and go and at a redlight if I make a normal start. Feels little bit "jerky"

  Love those Pontiacs! - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Tony Almaguer - January 1 - 5:56 pm

  The car offers more performance, comfort and luxury features than anything else in its size range. GMs financing made it our lease a "steal" and well be back for another one in 3 years. BTW, our other car is a 2003 Grand Am GT 2-dr that offers sportiness at a low price. It aint a performance car, but it sure gives good value for the money!

  My Car - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Sherry - May 11 - 6:36 pm

  Car is good over all. Comfortable. Headlights arent that great. They get scratched too easily. I have problems starting the car. had mechanics check the problem and they cant find anything wrong. engine light wont go off. its been checked by dealership as well. my car has about 80,000 miles now. its a little cramped at times. the chevy impala was my first choice b ut had to settle for this car because of pricing. still paid too much. paid 14,000 a year ago. now supposedly worth only about 8,000. no major repairs so far at least. good gas mileeage. would recommend.

  Dark Cherry GXP - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Brian - March 14 - 7:16 pm

  Lots of power with torque-steer, I always say hold on when you put the pedal down. Over-all its a fun to drive but it does drink fuel even it you drive it normal. Road ruts created by the large trucks seem to whip the car from side to side. My 03 chev had no problem with the ruts, this car does. Im totally shocked that I need to repair my front brakes at only 25,000 miles considering 90% of the miles are HWY driving and that I really am gentle on my brakes.GM not willing to do anything about the brakes even so its still under warranty.
