  Fun Drive w/rattles - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By GT - February 6 - 2:10 pm

  Fun drive! I had a 2000 Grand Prix GT that I loved & traded in at 70,000 mi. The 200HP non supercharged got 20 city- 29 HWY mpg.The 06 260 HP/SC gets 10 city- 24 Hwy,"overall lousy mpg." Dealer cannot get rid of rattles in rear door panel and sunroof.Anyway, I should have kept the 2000.

  Love my car! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Zaida - February 1 - 10:40 am

  This is the 2nd Pontiac I have owned. I love this car! It drives great, I havent had any problems, except that the gas mileage isnt all that great. If it were possible, I would def get another. The car is not only comfortable but has a great sound system for being stock and looks nice!

  Love the GXP - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Mackbru - November 22 - 3:33 pm

  I was quite happy with my 2000 Gran Prix GT until my friend took me for a drive in his new GP GXP! I was blown away. Had been seriously looking at the new Mustang, but no more. Acceleration, high speed driving in all conditions, rain snow,(with winter performance Goodyears Eagle Ultragrip GW3 V rated) even city driving in stop and go traffic, the finesse this car has in stopping, lane changing, accelerating makes even the trip to work in heavy traffic almost enjoyable.

  I like it - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By grand prix - October 29 - 1:43 am

  excellent vehicle, and one I would recommend to others. I bought the base GP, but it has everything I want. I would like the roof to be a little higher to make it easier to enter and exit. Powerful engine and smooth ride, much better than Focus I traded in. Gas mileage is good, but could be better.

  2 year Evaluation - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By 06gp - July 6 - 6:35 pm

  Bought my 06 Grand Prix back in 2009 and it has served me well. the 3.8L is very reliable, powerfull, and sounds amazing once the hammer is dropped. The ride is very comfortable, no complaints there. The exterior is gorgeus, sexy if I may say. Interior material quality: The cheap plastics, thanks GM, is ok but very difficult to shine up and keep good. In the future I will customize the interior with Blk leather and dark wood trim so that will be my solution. Fuel economy is great highway wise (28mpg), the city is satisfactory if you dont speed and suddenly accelerate. Repairs: Just a alternator and a upcoming brake job. 18+car= havoc. Overall I am very impressed with my Pontiac and love it.

  Pontiac Has It Right - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By NC - May 12 - 8:00 pm

  I almost did not look at this car because of the Edmunds review. Happy C&D got it right. What a pleasure the first month of my black GXP experience has been. Great engine & exhaust note Great Trans (Tap shift is allot of fun) Great brakes (cant get them to fade. Excellent handling for a FWD. Understeer is safer for the average driver. Fit, Finish, all the extras, big truck, room for the kids. All a big plus. best part- LESS THEN $28K Already have embarrassed a few imports costing much much more. JOB WELL DONE PONTIAC.

  decent all around car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Ben - May 6 - 11:06 pm

  This car is great. The main problem with this car is the tires if you ever have a flat or have to get new ones. The tire sizes are almost impossible to find. I had a flat tire and had to wait almost 3 days to get a new one because no one stocked it. Definitely a bad thing for a daily driver. This car also does not come with a spare tire. It comes with a tire repair kit which does nothing for an unrepairable tire. Then comes the gas mileage. I only drive this car around town mostly and am lucky to average 16 in town and 22 on the highway. I still only have about 3000 miles on it so hopefully those numbers will improve. The rear seat entry is pitiful for this cars size.
