  GET 1 - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By TonyGXP - November 20 - 2:16 am

  I found this vehicle to please me more than any other performance car Ive ever owned & I can put 2x4s in it!! Ride is a little stiff but that is expected for the handling you get in return. Avg fuel economy is 18.0 MPG thats mostly city driving, short trips & occasional beating (hard not to, its so fun)

  Supercharged Family Fun - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By C. Ruebsam - September 11 - 12:03 pm

  I just bought my GP, and my initial take is wow! I didnt think I would like the car but after driving all the other sedans on the market the GP was a breath of fresh air. The styling inside and out is very astheticly pleasing and the ride is awesome to say the least. So far I am very imprest with the MPG, avg approx. 24mpg, on a supercharged six. The same car with a foreign name plate would be considerbly moore. I think anyone in the market for a midsize sedan that wants the luxury, ride, four doors, and fun factor should give the GP a chance. Best value in its class. I cant say much about reliability since I just bought it, but given the 05 ratings I think it should be just fine.

  Objectively speaking - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Mr. Quick - August 30 - 5:06 pm

  This is hands down the best Bang-for- the-buck car for the guy/gal who wants to have their sports car cake and eat family car cake too. It is fast and agile for a large car. Features like touchscreen navigation, performance brakes and V-8 power are great. Leather and power everything as well as a load of driver aids and multi- information data tools are awesome. Other things like the standard HUD and remote start are features no other car manufacturers can offer for anything near $30,000! There was no compromise when I traded in my 2-door 345 hp turbocharged sports car for this 4- door family car. 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, 150+ mph (governor defeated, factory halted at 140) Nuff said, go drive one!

  Great Car, the best Ive driven yet. - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By TjO - August 13 - 4:16 am

  I am totally amazed by the review and the specs given on this website being that they are showing the lowest numbers yet by any other website. Seems that "Dan" the editor must have had a rough day or just doesnt like Pontiacs. Anyways, Ive had my share of Fords, Dodges, and VWs etc. and to date this is the best car for the money Ive driven. No squeaks rattles or odd engine problems, just perfect.

  Third Times the Charm! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By ncix1 - March 22 - 1:06 pm

  As this Ameicans love affair with SUVs wanes, it was a pleasant suprise to test drive a "real car". After having owned (okay leased) one of the first 200 supercharged GTPs off the assembly line for the 1997 model year and later trading that for a limited edition "Daytona 500" GTP the new GXP comes out way on top. It is a shame I had to stumble accross it while the wife was test driving the new Soltice. She also is impressed, with the looks, power and feel of our new Grand Prix. If she wasnt Id be looking at convertible "garaging" the rest of the winter out. Pontiac states you may not be happy with the "beasts" snow manners, quite the contrary in the 3-4 inches we got caught in.

  Four Doors of Fun - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Trexler - February 25 - 10:50 am

  This car is very impressive, and fun to drive. The four doors dont take away from the looks or performance. 0-60 is plenty quick, and the handling is very impressive. Heads up windshield display, tap shift transmission, and virtually every power option available in a car make the comfort endless.

  Great Car for the Money - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By AZEX - February 12 - 12:03 am

  When my 93 Geo Prizm died we needed a car, and fast. While the I was not excited about the Gran Prix at first I quickly saw for the money this was great buy. To get the 3800 V6 in a loaded Gran Prix was a steal compared to smaller foreign makes with 4 cylinders which were priced much higher than the Gran Prix. The car is fast, hugs the road, and is able to carry the family and all of our gear. The trunk is HUGE.

  Great Pontiac - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By HH - January 22 - 11:23 am

  Great performance, styling, handling. Love the heated seats, dash and gauges, bucket seats. Rides like a much bigger car. Whats not to like? Downside is that resale value isnt very good.
