  Review - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By candice - March 30 - 3:43 am

  Love car other than minor defects that we have come across that dealerships seem to not be able to fix such. The car acts like its going to die at times or stall out. We have taken it 6+ times and dealer ship never fixes the problem.

  Wow. Awesome car. - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Snowman - February 15 - 3:10 pm

  Much much better than I expected. Tried ALL midsize cars, both foreign and domestic and this was the clear winner. Fast, quiet, handles excellently at both high speed and low. Tracks very well. Excellent stability system and the brakes drag you to a stop faster than an aircraft carrier landing deck. If you have a bias against the Pontiac name, I suggest you try this car. My Saab-loving wife drove it once and decided that this was the best car going for the price -- 27,600$ with leather and airbags and a few other toys.

  Love It - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By peachez1964 - January 8 - 10:55 pm

  Have had my 2006 for eight years. She has over 240,000 miles and Ive only done basic maintenance. A comfortable ride which is important with a two hour commute each day. Great performance and gas mileage! Ive started looking for another vehicle and plan to pass this one to the kids. I wish the Grand Prixs were still being produced!

  Love My GT!!! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Swave232 - December 4 - 8:20 am

  I love what they have done with the 2006 model. If you get a chance to get the leather interior I would highly suggest it for max comfort. The back seat room is totally fine and the sun roof does not crowd the head space. I am 6 foot 2 and can sit in it with much ease. (Also have a wife and a 19 month daughter that are able to sit very comfortably as well. If you are looking for a stealth design with some need for speed while still being able to up hold some class, the GT version is the way to go hands down without breaking your pockets.

  By fly - November 25 - 12:56 am

  What a fun car to drive and look at! DVD Navigation is is awesome, sound controls on the steering wheel is very helpful. I Love the HUD, and the ability to adjust the info presented on it.

  Great Automobile - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By D. Goodrode - November 6 - 10:20 am

  Just purchased it, love it, sharp looking in the Stelth Gray, quiet, comfortable, solid, and handles good on twisty roads. Only 200 horses but more than enough, keeps up with all but the quickest sedans costing twice as much. Looks of a European sedan, comes standard with tons of gadgets. The electronics can be customized to your own taste. This is a classy automobile. Many creature comforts and fold down rear seats for extra long items. Many 2006 improvements on the engine and trans. The 3.8 V6 has tons of torque coupled with the medium duty (not light) 4L65-E trans is a great combo. No Im not a dealer, Im the son of a son of a mechanic and appreciate a well built automobile.

  Wonderful Pontiac - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Bob - October 23 - 11:16 am

  2 1/2 half years experience, 31500 miles. Replaced the battery this week, no other issues. Changed Bridgestones for Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S - 10,000 miles on the Goodyears, just do it. Upgrades - K&N Series 63 intake system, Magnaflow muffers (yeah they sound mean), upgraded floor mats and piano black dash trim kit. Adding LED taillights soon. White exterior/sand ultra lux leather interior. No Nav or optional paint. A+ build quality. Have some fun? Disconnect the battery overnight - drive the GXP hard the next day over several drive cycles. Becomes a REAL hot rod (I promise). Rare model - turns heads. Almost 20 mpg town w/27 highway. Wanna race?

  Great car for the price - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Lee - September 7 - 4:23 pm

  The 06 Pontiac Grand Prix is one of the best buys that Pontiac has in this class. You have comfortable seating for 5 and with folding rear seats that open the trunk area up, a very large amount of area to easily hold many items most vehicles could not even hold in the back seats. This car has ample power and is very agile while handling tight corners. The estimated 30 miles to the gallon highway mileage is accurate since I average 29.8 on the highways i travel often. Take good care of this car and you will have very few problems for years to come.

  4 Door Corvette - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By PFWiz - September 6 - 10:40 pm

  If you want a truly quick 4 door car with a nice size trunk and you know that rear wheel drive just doesnt cut it in the snow belt then the GXP may be the car you are looking for. Blazing fast (Car & Driver says 14.3 seconds in the quarter) with very good handling for a large front wheel driver. Yes, I know rear wheel drive is better for 10/10s driving, but be honest how often do you drive 10/10s? On the other hand I drive in the snow every winter and front wheel drive wins hands down there. The Heads Up Display is a hoot and watching it display direction to your destination from the nav system is extremely cool. Build quality pretty good, nice even gaps, no squeaks or rattles.
