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.

  • Gotta love it - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Car is everything I would want in a vehicle. As far as engine being too loud I guess people just dont like muscle cars anymore in this country.

  • I L-O-V-E my Ponti-Rocket! - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I did a HUGE amount of research (read every Edmunds review) before buying an American car. Having Japanese cars for 20 years -- I wanted to be sure that the 25K/year I put on a car as a salesman would be done reliably. Ive had my Grand Prix GTP for 7 months now and its the fastest, most powerful, most comfortable, best looking and one of the most well-built cars Ive ever owned. No car from Japan can compare with what it feels like to slide behind the wheel of my beautiful, much beloved Pontiac to go out into the world everyday. Meet me at the next green light and Ill show you why its called a Grand Prix. Great job, Pontiac..Im truly, deeply in love! (never had that with a Nissan)

  • My 3rd Pontiac - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Had 00 Bonneville se,02ssei & now Grand prix GT. The Bonnie was getting pricey so I got a GP with leather, heated seats, sun roof & optional aluminum wheels. Love the car, sporty handling in turns and still comfy on the hwy and am getting far better mpg than ssei. Got about $5000 off list with GM incentives. Was looking at Camrys and they were stripped down at this price. Im also a big fan of the 3.8v6... even with the pushrods.

    Love this car... Handles great. Power is good even from the base engine. Inside is VERY comfortable. I have not tried out the backseat yet,,,,,, but the front seats are very comfortable. I am over 6 foot tall so its hard to find a car with good seats. But this car has it. Love the way they wrap around you. Also love the styling. I get several looks from people as I drive through the burbs with this car.

  • 5th grand prix,but still fun to drive. - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Very comfortable, solid build quality and gives performance and handling with many choices from sedan to gxp. Two trips and averaged 32 mpg on the freeway, some small cars cant achieve. I have tweaked my car a little and the 3.8L V6 is probably the best gm V6 that they made, rock solid and reliability to back it up. Excellent looks and big enough for the family and huge trunk for the summer vacation. My grand prix is fun to drive and is that what its all about, enjoying driving your car and for the price its a darn good deal.

  • Loving it - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I have driven Pontiac grand am before but I finally got my Pontiac grand prix after I lost my previous car. Since I got this car I love it more than any car I ever had. It drives so smooth and less external noise. The I felt in love with it the very moment I saw it. I am hoping to keep it for a very long time.

  • Awesome Car - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    We purchased this car to save on gas, we had a Dodge SUV and it was a loan for gas. My Grand Prix is fun to drive, classy but yet sporty. My 7 year old son, thinks he is cool. I feel like a Princess driving this car. People stop and just look at my car. Its drop dead gorgeous. My husband even loves the car.

  • My Fourth Pontiac GPT the Best OVERALL - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I only driven Pontiac(s) for the past 10 years. I only drove the Grand AMs (GT)though. However, after purchasing the GTP, Ive been cheating myself. The body style of the Grand Prix is great. The widetrack,the car handeles the road excellently. I love the heads-up display, I can keep my eyes on the road at all time. I have the full package on the car from the heated seats and Onstar and XM Satellite radio the 6 CD Exchanger is the magnificent. The engineer really out did themselves this time. I Love my Grand Prix GTP

  • Love my car - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    My GP is my "first" car. I learned to drive in SUVs and trucks, and I usually hate cars b/c they feel so small, but my GP is very roomy, one of the few cars that my dad, who is 6"5, can fit in pretty comfortably. My car handles absolutely great, very sensitive to whatever the driver does. I live in a very hilly and curvy area and the car does the roads great. Although 5 people fit in my car just fine, it isnt really a "family" car.

  • 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Having previously owned a 2002 Grand Prix, which was totaled in an accident, I sought another Grand Prix. I enjoy driving this car due to the quick pick up and go and the comfortableness of the seats. The interior is much sportier and appealing. Although I do prefer the 2002 exterior better. This car looks very sporty and drives very nicely.
