  Tire Problem - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Art - April 16 - 1:23 am

  My gxp is a fun car to drive in the summer. I live in new england. This car is impossible to drive in the winter because of the performance tires. The car comes with two different size tires, 255/45R 18 front, and 225/50R 18 rear. I have spent hours on the internet to try to find a set of all-season tires. I have also checked with local tire dealers in my home area. So far, I have had no luck at all with this problem. Buyers Beware !!!

  Rough Ridin but gorgeous - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Mut - April 5 - 6:13 pm

  This car is beautiful - crimson red. When I bought, there was a shake in the driving. Hubby thought it might be rotors or brakes. Nope. Wouldnt have bought it if Id known it wasnt those. I love the car, but really hate the annoying shake. Feels like an engine miss, but it isnt that either. Would love to find out what it is. Cant figure out how to get the stereo to show names of songs and singers again as it did when I got the car.

  GT Very Well Balanced-Rocks! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Frankie - March 2 - 11:33 am

  Bought mine end of year with 15,000 miles on it. Never owned a Grand Prix prior to this. I have owned 4 GTOS. This is the quickest six out there. The Eaton Generation 5 Supercharger Rocks! With the heated seats, remote start, excellent stereo sound and stitched leather interior you cannot go wrong! Since the improvement in GM cars from 2000 going forward, I cannot see why the foreign market is so popular? I have driven the Hondas,Mazdas, etc and find you end up paying a lot more for what? Pontiac has a quality and exciting car here -a real sleeper. If you need too pass or merge on the interstate this car Rocks! Beats any six out there and a lot of the V8s. Excellent all around vehicle

  By erin - February 5 - 3:40 am

  I bought this car about 2 years ago first and last pontiac i ever owned. owned 2 different cavaliers previously both went to 180000 miles with only oil changes and alternator going out on both. the grand prix on the other had... it was a blast to drive great acceleration... looked great....automatic start wonderful... my husband was unfortunatly involved in a serious crash in this vehicle and was killed instantly... was hit in the passanger side door and the entire car broke in half... the sheriffs department,tow company and others that were at the scene stated they never saw another car split like it did. the weld in the frame came apart upon impact and possible was defective.

  GP/GT Excellent car for the money! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Frankie - January 19 - 4:06 pm

  I had been looking to get the Grand Prix GXP but they are hard to find used and insurance costs are higher. I bought my GT model with 15,000 miles on it and could not be happier. The Eaton Gen 5 Supercharger really puts some punch into the 3800 V6. The seats are super comfortable [stitched leather]they are heated, with electric lumbar support. The remote start is great. I drive 95% freeway, so the power is Awesome when you need to pass, or enter the freeway. The ride is very smooth and for a sedan it corners quite well. It is a great combination of Luxury and Performance.

  Mid-Size Muscle - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By rolex4me - January 11 - 8:33 pm

  As a grand Prix fan, I must say that I am impressed with the 2006 GXP. It not only beats its competitors on paper, it beats them on the pavement. Great handling, a true driving machine. This car makes the daily commute a little more pleasurable. One will not be disappointed with this choice, a true head turner.

  2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GT - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By ferd8791 - January 9 - 9:43 pm

  Bought this car in May of 2010 with 26,646 miles on it. A major improvement over the 1999 GP I used to drive. Supercharged 3800 Series III V6 strong in all situations, timed 6.4 seconds 0-60, has V8-like punch at highway speeds. Light steering at low speeds, firms up nicely at higher speeds. Fuel economy impressive considering available power. Suspension Euro-style firm, but good bump absorption and no harshness. Interior markedly better than my 99 GP, soft touch materials and extremely comfortable front buckets. Highway ride serene, minimal tire noise and wind rush, engine growls when revved, almost silent at cruise. Fold down rear and front passenger seats convenient.

  Great for a Pontiac - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Ian - January 9 - 6:16 am

  Great engine. Cheap interior (and mines fully loaded), but you know that going in with Pontiac. Electric steerings a bit non-responsive and then over-corrects (this is only an issue on sharp turns; no issues on highways, etc). If youre a confident driver you wont notice the problem, and the GT corners really well (and is generally fun to drive) for a car its size. At night when the roads wet or icy and youre taking a sharp turn the steering makes you feel a bit out of control. Thats far from a deal breaker (and my commute is 17 miles on winding country roads in the northeast). Overall love the car and definitely recommend. Bought GM Certified in August - no problems.

  Unbeatable for the money - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Drew - November 29 - 3:50 pm

  This car has been great. Ive had it for a year and put about 24,000 miles on it, without a single problem. V8 is awesome, and gives mid-20s gas mileage (mixed driving, but more highway). Looks great in black. Got it loaded with options for under 30k. Very comfortable car for me (56"), and everybody else Ive ever had in it. Car rides, brakes, and handles very well. Id recommend this car to anybody, at least drive it before spending comparable money on an Accord, etc.
