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.

  By Mark Moody - December 31 - 8:46 am

  I just purchased an 05 Grand Prix GT great car at a great price with the employee discount saved almost $7000.00.This is my second Grand Prix GT we also have an 02 which after 75000 miles has yet to give us any problems.I test drove many other cars but came back to Pontiac.For the money I couldn`t find a better equipped car.The Grand Prix GT for us is a nice combination of good looks power and reliability.

  V8 Bang for the Buck Winner - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By APR - December 16 - 8:30 pm

  Dreamed about this car a year before it was available. Great looking machine w/ the performance (HP, torque, braking, suspension) to support it. Surprisely controlled torque-steer (traction control) and instantaneous response from the beefed- up 4T65E tranny. The LS4s torque band is huge and pulls from one end of the tach to the other. The StabiliTrak Sport is simply amazing in the snow/ice allowing you to drive safely while having some fun to boot. The PBR brakes (huge drilled & vented rotors w/ dual pistons calipers up front) are gorgeous, responsive, and fade-free. After 6600 mi. were averaging 20.2 mpg (trip computer) w/ mostly highway (using cruise control) driving @ 74mph.

  Solid - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Kurls1800 - December 6 - 12:50 pm

  My GP has given me 5 years of great service . I did have a front rotor warpage issue early on and just decided to replace them. Otherwise, just change the oil and other common maintenance. Sad to see Pontiac end its production of Grad Prixs. Love the Pontiac red dash lights.

  Lots of Miles - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Michelle - September 10 - 6:10 am

  I love this car. I love the way it handles, it feels like a luxurious smooth ride especially compared to my fiancees Grand Am. I love the way it looks, and the interior design. I have had a few problems though, the transmission needed a complete overhaul after 34K miles. Now I am having brake and traction system problems at 41K.

  Grand Prix GT, Great value, a lot of fun to drive, affordable, fast enough, great throaty exhausy sound from the dual tailpipes. Nice and tight bucket seats. A lot of utility included with the fold down rear and front seat.

  Huge Fun to Drive - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Naples, FL - April 6 - 4:13 am

  0-60 in under 6 sec, pretty impressive for a 4 door grocery getter. The engine makes beautiful music, unmistakable V8 growl from the tailpipes. Very responsive handling while not completely sacrificing a comfortable ride-the engineers found a good balance. Pontiac is marketing more stuff to the enthusiast lately, they can be proud of this one.

  2005 Grand Prix GTP Comp G - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By B4crask - March 31 - 10:00 am

  This is an awesome car with excellent handling. It looks good both inside and out. The supercharged engine has the power to get you around anything on the road. Good old American Muscle! Glad I didnt get the Maxima...... I paid $1500 under MSRP and then got a $2000 rebate on top of that. Dont pay MSRP. You dont have to. Try getting Honda or Toyota to do that for you when buying one of thier boring little cars.

  By Larry Carson - March 5 - 8:03 pm

  I bought my GXP in Octber of 2005. I love this car. I get a lot of looks and finger pointing. My wife said it makes me look and act younger. Very fun car to drive.

  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.
