  Must be a GXP ... dont skimp! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By SciMjr - December 31 - 9:00 am

  The 2005 Grand Prix GXP is my first new car & I LOVE IT!!! I have black exterior with the Ebony Suede/leather interior. LOTS of power and you have to learn how to step on the gas w/o chirping the wheels! If you are planning to FLOOR the gas at the light you must hold the wheel because theres a little torque steer and the wheel will try to jump. Not a big problem. Interior is very nice and the two front seats are very comfortable in my opinion. I love the cockpit design; all radio & climate controls are angled to the driver. I feel the back is roomy and I am 6 1" ... the seats are a little hard though. Gas milage is good for a V-8 but I do 10 mile runs so it may be off for me.

  Going to a minivan :( - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Jenn - December 27 - 5:23 pm

  My husband bought this car for me right before we got married. It has been a very reliable car, but the traction control system has been a bit of a problem in the snow. Most cars come with a button to turn it off, but not mine. So I have been stuck in an inch of snow. No fun! It is comfortable and fun in the summer. I would like to keep it but due to a growing family I am not able to.

  Awesome Care! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Breck - December 23 - 1:13 pm

  This car is great. I havent owned an American car in more that 15 years. I love the sound of the engine when you start it up. None of my Japanese cars ever sounded like that! It has great pickup and pretty good fuel economy. Its fun to drive. The inside is comfortable and the service I get from the dealership is awesome...free oil changes as long as I own it. I got the car loaded with everything and still got a great price with the employee pricing. I could never have gotten a Japanese car with all the features for the price I paid.

  Grand X-iting Prix - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Kichigai - December 16 - 5:26 am

  Driving this car is a lot of fun, I dont recommend test driving it if you arent interested in purchasing it, because you will after. The guys at the dealership love when someone test drives it. I was looking for a vehicle in the $20,000s and drove a few, but after seeing the GXP and the test drive the next day, yeah I went back, I forgot all about the civic si, mazda rx-8 and saturn redline. It handles great and all components are easily reached by the driver, which is bad for passenger because they will have to lean to use any of them. My gas consumption has averaged about 19-20 mpg so far, even all highway. I hope this changes as the engine breaks in.

  My first - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By ram1957 - December 11 - 6:53 am

  This is my first Grand Prix. I always wanted one and I was not dissappointed with the one I received. I lease this vehicle and will continue with the Grand Prix if they are available in 3 years.

  Supercharged fun & good mileage - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By tonkota - November 24 - 1:33 pm

  Very nice car for the money. GM needs to change the softy shifting for a car with this much torque. And I love the torque! The last highway trip I took with 4 adults we got 31mpg. Not bad considering the ups and downs and the weight of the passengers. Room enough for 4 pretty easy. The front seats fit me very well (Im a wider type of guy). 25k on it now, and no rattles yet.

  A real Import Intimidator - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Eddy - November 21 - 1:26 am

  I purchased this GT version being less than one year old at a great price. This car has solid feel with no lack of power when required. The interior design is comfortable with all the treats of leather, sunroof and power seat. I enjoy the ride on 17" tires as it handles well. I came from a Grand AM GT and this feels much better. I went on twisty roads on my way skiing and it was awesome, power to come out of corners on the uphill. You dont need to push this car as it comes on easy. I have had imports before and the 4 bangers dont do it. The V6s are over priced and limited supply. The fit and finish is top notch.

  Great driving car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By mikie22 - November 19 - 2:36 am

  Fantastic! Excellent handling and it gets better miles per gallon then the v- 6 I traded in (25mpg). Sport red is just right and Onstar is great.

  Lovin My GXP - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Lovin my GXP - November 9 - 5:00 pm

  Bought this car on a whim. Went to test drive a Mustang. Hated It. Drove by this Dealer by accident, and test drove a Trail-Blazer. Then I HEARD this car pulling into the lot. From there I was in Ahhh. But to get behind the wheel of this Powerful V8, what a dream. This is my third Pontiac (others were Grand-Am GTs) and they have done something Right with this GXP. I put 32,000+ miles on it the 1st year I owned it. Its a great highway car. I love to take it out to the deserted stretches of straight rural roads, and let her loose.

  Vroom vroom - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Stacey - September 17 - 8:10 pm

  I just bought an 06 Grand Prix GXP and this car is not only gorgeous to look at, but its a blast to drive. Ive had quick vehicles in the past, but the acceleration and power or this car is amazing. I bought a red one with 35,000 miles so its just broken in. I love to small details that make it unique, the red brakes, the mini fog lights, the Monsoon sound system, and the remote start. What a great car!
