  • Review after 4 years of reliable and fun performance - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I aquired my 2006 Grand Prix(base) in March 2009 and I have to say it is an excellent performer and reliable daily driver. In the time that I have owned my Gp, I have had little to no problems with it. The car can definitely makes a daily drive exciting with its 200hp-230 torque as it has defeated many a foe. It also responds very well to modifications, Ive placed a CAI, ZZP 304 SS headers, downpipe, and catback with Flowmaster Super 44s. It sounds badass to finalize. My friends praise its quickness and superb ride quality on the road, its a bliss to drive daily and a joy when the go-pedal is abused. In short, it is an excellent car and I would reccomend one to all.

  • Just Bought it and LOVE IT! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I hate to say it, but this one was somewhat of an unexpected, impulse buy. I looked at a Honda Accord at 8:30 this morning and was driving a Pontiac GXP off the lot by 12:30 this afternoon. There is just something about that throaty V8 and the wrap around cockpit that says "this feels right!" It has the clothes of a sports sedan, but is undoubtedly a legitimate muscle car. My advice is if youre going to buy an Accord, Maxima, or high- end Altima, dont test drive this car... youll never look back... Pat

  • Good, fun, easy on gas too - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

    I really like driving this car. There is a GM service bulletin for the transmission. I average 30 on freeway trips and have averaged 23 in town. But if I use the boost, oh how it drinks the fuel while I smile from the power. No lag like a turbo either.

  • A great first car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This was the first car I purchased after graduating from grad school. The Grand Prix had everything I wanted and it was a great price. I am so happy I have it. I am constantly getting compliments on how nice the inside looks. People are always impressed with the "extras" my car has.

  • So far so good! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Wanted to get into something a bit cheaper to run than my truck. This is it. Originally I was looking at G6 sedans, base 4 banger, only option I wanted was cruise. This is just so much more car for the money! Only have it not even 2.5 months and already have 6,500 miles on it. It is just racking up the miles without a hiccup. Runs good, gets decent mileage and is just an all-around good ride. So far no problems. Headroom could be better, the sunroof eats into it a bit. With the rebates, if you just need basic transportation, this fits the bill quite nicely!

  • Driving Experience - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

    I have looked around for a new vehicle, and this Pontiac has it all, the power, of the V8 and the great looks, I bought the Black one, I think that is the only color it looks good in, the ride is great, it could use more room in the back seat, the trunk space has alot of room, if you are looking for a new car, take a look at the Pontiac GXP,AND MOST OF ALL take it for a test ride, you wont be disappointed, this car has alot for the price.

  • Rock solid - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I recently traded my saturn l300 for the grand prix gt and i am very satisfied. With the excepition of the tight back seat, i have no complaints. The interior is very roomy, but the backseat leg room is less than my old saturn. I got a great lease deal with incentives and my dads employee discount. The supercharged 3800 is smooth and strong and gets good fuel economy. I recomend this vehicle as an alternative to the everyday camry and accord.
