Excellent car. Try it, you may buy it! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Classical MusicLover - August 26 - 12:56 amI was not in the market for this car until my very wise brother-in-law recommended I take one for a test drive. I traded in my Toyota Avalon that day. This car is very quiet. It handles on rails. I needed a car that had a lot more zip than the Toyota and I found it. I have been a long time buyer of imported cars and while many of those who work at the same University I do smile when I say I bought a Pontiac, I have the last laugh!

Why I love my car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
By SweetC - July 9 - 8:46 amI love my car. It snowed about two weeks ago and I had the opportunity to use the traction control. It worked great. The remote start is also a very nice feature when it is cold. I can stand inside the building at work and start my car.

Fantasic, awesome, incredible..... - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Snowman - June 10 - 4:00 pm...and not too expensive. Most fun car Ive ever driven, and safe too. Holds the road like glue, goes like a bat out of hell, stops on a time. Sorry for the cliches, but theyre all true. And my price was below 28 grand for a totally loaded v8 rocketship that is quiet and dependable.

Great GXP - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Will - April 27 - 5:06 amAgree with others very nice car, fun to drive and all. Otherwise my pick of the 3 new cars to drive at home that have this is the first choice. Have had many Grand Ams GT and also 1973 Grand Am with V8 with 4 spd and this GXP V8 much better as 1973 Grand Am would get scratch shifting into 4th gear at 90+ MPH but Grand Prix GXP with 4 dr. is much better all around car. Happy with purchase. Was considering Toyota Camry Hybrid but "The Fun" and not a commuter drone is what this is about. Some vibration noise in instrument panel at top so put some silicon fixed that, and twice slight noise when take steering hard turn in or out of parking spot but trying to narrow that down to fix. Thats it.

A great blown Grand Prix - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Joe - April 12 - 6:23 pmIve owned this car for 2 years, was a previous owner of an 04 non- supercharged version, and I love it. Its fast and stylish and gets pretty good gas mileage. Although good, I have to clarify the mileage rating as was given in a few of the other ratings. This car has never averaged 30 mpg for me, and I live 7 miles from my job. My trip computer indicates 21 mpg (avg) on good days, 17 if I get on it hard. The trip computer will show avg, instant, and range mpg info. Its good, but not that good. Still, for the size of its motor, its weight, and the hp rating, its plenty good for me. It provides a very smooth and stable ride and can hold the road very well for its weight.

By BOB_houston - March 25 - 10:50 pmMy wife and I love all of the features on this pontiac. I do not know of another Auto that is so packed with features. Fast, farily economical (18.6 MPG Average)and a-blast to drive. Very comfortable for four people. Onstar, XM Satellite Radio, great Transmission. Black Cherry Metalliac Paint is beautiful.

190,000 Miles Later...... - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
By rose38478 - March 16 - 6:09 amYes, what it said. I put 190,000+ miles on my Pontiac. Bought it 4.5 years ago, just traded it and I miss it horribly. No mechanical trouble except basic maintenance and 1 thermostat. Paint stood up well to the test of time. Only thing interior wise is my dashboard cracked a little way up by the window. Other than that, stayed great. Seats didnt tear, rug didnt wear out. The engine gave you enough power to get where you needed to go quickly. I wish Pontiac had stuck around. I would have bought another.

My new GXP - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Richard Leavitt - January 15 - 6:30 pmI ordered this car fully loaded. I have not been sorry for one minute. Getting in the car and driving it is a thrill and it makes me forget any problems I may have. The performance is more than adequate. Stepping down on the gas a little makes it seem like it is taking off like a jet. It just wants to move. My first long trip rendered just over 26 mpg which is quite acceptable for a higher performance engine. The only problem I have experienced is the navigation system but I understand this is an overall problem and it doesnt really bother me as there will be a fix for it. The best part of this car is my dealer and my saleslady. A big plus!

This things fast and smooth - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
By woolly - January 10 - 8:10 amBought the car with 4,000 miles on it, pretty loaded and supercharged. I still have a 1999 Bonneville and I thought it was fast. This car is unbelievable for the money. Looks like an expensive sports car and drives like one.

Pontiac Built Excitement - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Steve - January 8 - 10:00 amWe have owned our GP for approx 3 years and love the car. Its our 2nd one with the bulletproof 3.8 liter engine. Plenty of power, it effortlessly gets up to hwy speeds. It has the crystal blue paint which changes to teal in the sun and can appear purple at time in dimmer light. Reliability has not been an issue with this car and Id definitely get another if they still made them. GM got this one right and reliability seems to be hard to find these days. Id also consider the Aussie built G8 as theyve been around along time Down Under.
