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.

  Excellent Value - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By pro driver - October 11 - 5:00 am

  All I can say is drive this thing and enjoy. I came out of a park avenue and into the grand prix. It rides a little rough compared to the park ave, but this thing is slick. The handling and the comfort form a mid sized Rocket ship is outstanding. The fule mileage is outstanding and the sight lines are also great from a car so low to the ground. Go and have some fun and be safe.

  Great for the Money - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By GPMan - September 27 - 6:20 am

  I was amazed at the performance of the Grand Prix GTP. The Eaton 5 Supercharger added a lot of fun to the everyday driving I do. The four speed automatic was amazingly smooth and the interior is refined. Even though the engine is pushrod actuated, it is still more efficient, smoother, and more fun than the Toyota V6s. Toyotas overhead cam designs detract from low-end torque and "everyday" driving "gusts" that are needed to pass on the highway. The interior design is also simply and logically laid out. Materials and build quality are excellent.

  GXP is Great - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Mr MRG - September 12 - 4:53 pm

  No better combination of performance, ride, comfort, handling, safety and practicality. I can have my fun and haul the family away in comfort on the weekends. Solid build and even with the 300HP never seems out of control.

  This is one one the better cars I have purchased in the last 10 years. Drives great, great takeoff, handling is perfect, and the comfort of the interior is excellent.

  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!

  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
