  Not so family oriented - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By shoeguy72 - September 13 - 6:50 pm

  My supercharged Grand Prix seemed like the most practical way to go for me, since I needed a "ffamily oriented" vehicle that has more than 2 doors, and I wasnt willing to take the leap off the cliff to the minivan, but now that Ive owned it for 5 months, I realize how impractical this is for a family vehicle. Too low to the ground which makes car seats a real pain in the butt, rides hard, Black leather interior always makes the car warm, and it has lost so much of its value already retailed for 23k when I purchased it, and dealerships wont give me more than 13k on trade 5 months later? Id never buy one of these again.

  GXP Has Great Power - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By n costabilo - September 5 - 6:53 am

  This review on edmunds does not do the GXP model justice. It is fun to drive and is faster than the 300c/Hemi Charger. Driven a few 300s w/ and w/o Hemi and have not been impressed with performance and handling. The GXP has a lot to offer nad is a joy to drive.

  Fast and Versatile - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By guy - August 15 - 2:30 am

  So its a low-lifes dream car, so what? It has many assets: Much cheaper than the Volvo S60R I was also looking at, expressive appearance, dark cherry red exterior, cool rims, black leather interior, smooth ride, lots of cargo space, and rumbling 303hp V8 that runs on 4 cylinders for 28 mpg when cruising. And fun to drive, with great acceleration, control and braking. On downside, w/ my ht, drivers seat must be tilted back so I dont hit roof. Also, headrest is fixed parallel w/seat back, so its too far back to be of use even if seat werent tilted. Was car designed for Neanderthals, or should I drive with a racing helmet? I just slouch along, but somehow it works for me.

  Best bang for your buck - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Q - July 9 - 8:23 am

  I loved my 2006 Grand Prix GXP the second I drove it. I was looking for something with muscle that could still be somewhat sensible. I have had zero problems with the car, and I still love it. I have the mileage up to almost 23,000 already, and Im in the thing constantly. The remote start is fantastic! It even has a sensor that detects the outside temperature..so if you remote-start your car on a hot day, the A/C comes on, start it on a cold day, the heat comes on. All in all, my only complaint was lack of tire selection..however, Goodyear is now manufacturing Eagle F1 All-Seasons in the appropriate sizes and they are killer tires. There are several companies that make tires for it..

  Great car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By TONYDFRSH - June 13 - 6:43 am

  I have never owned a pontiac, but i love this car!!!!!!! All cars have downsides be it maintenance, gas or whatever. Ive owned mostly ford mustang gt`s, but i bought a 94 caddy 3 yrs ago and i was transformed into a gm man. My wife has a 2003 caddy cts under 28,000 miles, and this car rides as good as this minus the toys;" she also agrees". Power is better than her 3.2 2003 Cts. This car is a sleeper. I have the base model. But its more than adequate; see for yourself. Also before i forget; the caddy has been in the shop for little annoying things, and as of today her powersteering pump is leaking and the car is acting funny; dealer said they are going to fix it, luckily. Buy the gran prix

  2006 Grand Prix Sedan (Base) - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By MawDeuce - June 10 - 4:36 pm

  My previous car was a 1997 Bonneville, Series II 3.8L V6. I have to say, that with this new Grand Prix, I felt so secure with the purchase because the engine is just exceptionally dependable and easily modified. Id never owned a GP like this one, and so far I absolutely love it. Easy to maintain, smooth shifting, and somewhat powerful(could use some mods though). I cant wait for dual exhaust, short RAM intake and my new hood. I have to say that the shifty squeaking/clicking I get in the steering column is something I could do without though. The factory sound system is more than I expected, with more than enough bass to keep me happy for a while.

  By joseph neese - June 5 - 9:36 pm

  I recently bought a gp gt and i love the way it looks, but ive been having problems with everything from tires to gas, wheelbearings just everything. I only have 8000 miles on my car the best gas mileage ive gotten is 400 miles to the tank thats bad, i got better with my 90 model pathfinder. i work for a gm dealership and none of the techs can find out what the deal is.

  260 hp supercharged& super fast - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By raceman - May 10 - 3:06 pm

  This is my first Grand prix. I absoulutly love it. Who would have thought a 260 horsepower v6 0-60 in 6.5 the monsoon system will rock your socks off the super charger will snap your neck and the outside apperance will turn heads. All of this and I still get 20.4 mpg in city driving. I cant believe that 2008 is the last year for this power house
