This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Strong V8 and supercharged V6, nimble handling, attractive gauges, easy-to-use controls, big trunk, fold-flat front-passenger seat.
Cons:
  • Build and materials quality still needs some work, tight backseat, noisy engine, not enough storage or cupholders.

  • Replaced My Boring Toyota Camry - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    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.

    So far we like everything about the car. The super charger is great for getting out on the highway.

  • 05 GT - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix

    After trying out several Fords, Dodges, Chryslers, and Chevrolets, my wife and I kept coming back to the Grand Prix. It has the perfect blend of sportiness that she was looking for, and the roomy practicality that I wanted. Fully loaded with black leather, moonroof, CD changer, and Monsoon stereo (which is the best factory stereo Ive ever heard), you cant ask for much more in a family sedan. Interior ergonomics are unmatched by anything Ive ever owned and the heated bucket seats make long drives a pleasure. No problems to report.

    This car excels at most of the things that most drivers expect out of a $30k car. The cleverness, utility and layout of the interior lead to an overall pleasant driving experience...And dont get me started on the 3.8 supercharged V6...truly a guilty pleasure. That, in conjunction with the TAP-SHIFT paddles on the steering wheel can have a tendecy to give one an "Andretti" complex. It can also serve less sporting tastes with a serene, yet communicative driving experience when called upon. Although some may find the Comp-G suspension a little harsh, the ride is well controlled and confidence inspiring, and the car as a whole is rock solid stable at high speeds...or so Ive heard, heh,heh.

    My Grand Prix is the best car I have ever owned. I enjoy the comfortable ride along with the great gas milage. The power is always there if I need it.

  • Great for the money - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This is a great car for $20K after rebates. So far, 14,000 miles in 6 months and it hasnt skipped a beat. Fuel mileage is good and varies with driving habits. Power is more than sufficient and it cruises well on the highway. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this car.

  • Good Car - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Since we bought the car it has never been back for any type of warranty work or any other repairs. Workmanship is excellent. We just change the oil, refuel the car and drive it. Handling is good and it drives well. We like the style, both interior and exterior, very functional. Good car.

  • My favorite car. - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I got a 2006 Grand Prix as my very first car, it was used.From the moment I started to drive the car I loved it. I never had any problems with it, as I did keep up with care on it. Nothing out of the ordinary happened with it, it was always a great car, specially the night it saved my life, and 3 other peoples. That night the tires slid on ice. We slid straight into a guard rail on the drivers side in the middle between the doors. Then flipped over the guard rail and flipped twice. The car took the impact like a champ, and saved our lives all 4 of us walked away. The car did its job & protected me and my passengers. This car was nothing but great.
