  My Pontiac Grand Prix GT in less than a year... - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By mohammadshakhtra@yahoo.com - August 31 - 4:27 pm

  This car is great dont get me wrong, I was just unlucky and bought a "lemon" I shouldve seen this coming as I did buy the car for only $2,000. When I bought mine I was led to believe it was in almost perfect condition. All I knew was that is had a bumper crack and that was all. But two weeks after owning it the battery went dead on me and that led to all my problems. Now here I am 10 months later and almost $2,000 into the car. And now I have to get rid of the car as now the transmission has gone out on me and I do not honestly feel like putting more money into it. I love this car so much dont get me wrong. I love the look and the speed from the supercharger. But I cant keep dumping money into it. I just thought Id share my story and to tell people dont shy away from this car! Just be careful when buying.

  GXP Rocks! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By birdman64 - July 7 - 12:16 pm

  This is one of the most rounded cars Ive owned. I have had 5 Corvettes, ranging from c4s - c6s. And far the money, you get an awesome vehicle! I am very impressed by the gas mileage I achieve, I am averaging 27.5! Now keep in mind, this is a V8! Very responsive! Very quick for a midsize sedan. I love the looks and stares I get from others that wonder what im driving. Most people have not even heard of a GXP!

  It is a magical, beautiful car that I like very much. It is very very pretty and it flies like the wind. It handles very well on all types of roads.

  Extreme oil consumption - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Diane - June 16 - 2:30 am

  I was so excited when I purchased this car. It was everything I wanted and still do. However, around 54,000 miles in (I purchased it when it only had 100 miles) I took my car in for a oil change. No problem, then less than a 1000 miles my check oil light came on. I took it back to the shop that changed my oil and was told that there was NO oil in there. I am now at 73,000 and continue to have problems and Pontiac has been "working on it" for this entire time. Going in for service every other month is time consuming. I drive less than 15 miles to work per day and am using a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Hoping for a solution because I sure love the care otherwise.

  MY GXP - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By GERALD BRAY - May 20 - 4:56 am

  Of all the words theres none so fine as these last three, i got mine. We love love love our gxp. Test drove an ss impala, theres no comparison. The suspension and brake differences in the gxp are destined to give this car a reputation head and shoulders above the rest.12 In town 20 highway came as a surprise, but were still happy with our choice. Comfort,speed, handling, and style are a cut above the rest. It will even outrun last years 5.7Liter gto.

  Dont know what your missing - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Willard Jones - May 1 - 2:20 pm

  First I dont know why I dont see more of these vehicles on the road. I traded a 2005 grandprix GT for this model and it is a totally different experience. The power is awesome, its definitely there when you need it. Handling is great. I really enjoy traveling with the GXP. It gives a smooth quiet ride and along with the premium sound system its a joy. I chose a cherry metallic color for this car and Im constantly getting excellent comments on the color and the style.. Now nothing is perfect. The rear seating is a bit tight. Im 63 and I need the seat all the way back, leaving little or no leg room for the back seat.

  Reliable Car ~ So sad to see it go.... - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Jasmine Primas - April 21 - 3:54 pm

  I had this car fora about a year, and I bought it at 180,000 miles on it....quiet, ran like new! I had absolutely no problems with this car besides regular maintenance like oil change, tire rotation, the usual stuff. I wasnt a big fan of the dark teal colored pain job, and interior is pretty boring, but the quality of this car is a keeper for sure! **Im sorry, I was at the shop one time, this is when I first bought it, I had to get my water pump replaced, but that was it...

  Like my old car better - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By moms ride - April 19 - 4:50 am

  I have had the car a few months and I have to say I miss my 1999 Grand Prix GTP. I regret selling it to buy the 2006 Grand Prix GXP I have now. My old car handled much better and had GREAT fuel economy. 25-30 mpg for my daily driving. The GXP is getting tops 18 mpg. This is WAY under what I was told. The full size pickup with the same motor is getting 20 mpg. I also have lots of rattles and squeaks in the interior. It is also dogging and is missing. I am actually thinking about selling it already. I love the overall look of the car. It is a definite head turner. Guess I just got the bottom of the pile on this one.

  2006 Pontiac Grand Prix - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By chevymaster_08 - January 20 - 12:13 am

  Recently I have taken ownership of a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. It is, overall, a very excellent car. It drives smooth and has a very powerfully V6 engine, even though it is only 200hp. Like most Pontiacs, the market is saturated with them, but that doesnt change the fact that it is a cool car to look at. The interior might be my favorite though due to the jet-like details.

  GXP = WOW - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By James - January 8 - 11:56 pm

  I went into to drive and buy a G6 GTP and drove off with a GXP. The hiway mileage is great...My first measured tank got 25 mpg...with a 300 hp V8! It is incredibly quick....be ready for a real jolt when you put the pedal down. I got the employee discount. A lot of people notice and ask quesions about it.
