  GT is an Awesome car! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Frankie - January 19 - 7:06 pm

  I really Love the Grand Prix, as a former GTO [I have had four of them] owner I am very impressed with the performance of the Supercharged 6 cylinder. The car has a great stereo, dual climate control, heated sets and remote start. A lot of fun to drive! Awesome acceleration with the Eaton Supercharger! 17 inch wheels and wide-track provide a really nice ride.

  Realiable is the way - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By pontiacmall - December 19 - 1:15 am

  I purchased this car 2 years ago with the intention of having it temporarily and then trading it in. It has proven to be realiable after I added another 60k to the odometer. Just recently had issue with heater core which caused no heat and air. Once fixed it worked like a charm. I also put a twin mattress in the trunck with back seats down and was able to close the trunk. No pick up truck necessary!!May be time to get rid of as the kids are complaining they dont have enough back seat leg room of which I have to agree is a little on the short side. Just hope I can find something as realiable as the Grand Prix.....

  Love my Grand Prix - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Ken - November 29 - 9:20 am

  This is actualy my third Grand Prix and as you can tell, I love the car. Pontiac has always done a great job with these cars in my opinion. The car in fun to drive with plenty of power on California freeways. The styling is great and I love the way the seats wrap around you and hold you in. Not to mention the gauge layout is fantastic! I cant say enough about this car. Too bad GM screwed up and closed Pontiac down. BIG MISTAKE!

  better than other years - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By dlpVI - November 28 - 3:03 pm

  this is the 3rd Grand Prix that I have owned, and I must say that Pontiac got it right this time!! The last Grand Prix that I owned was a 1999 GTP, but this new car rocks. Its fast and rides really nice. The cock-pit is nice and easy on the eyes at night. Everything seems to be in the right place (well other than the dimmer switch). This car was the dealer demo so I got a gr8 deal on it. Was going to buy a Maxima, now that I own this Pontiac, I would not consider owning the nissan now. what more can I say, Ponaic got it RIGHT and now all they have to do is stay there and they will have many happy and loyal customers. I know I will be looking forward to the next new Pontiac to hit the market

  This GP is awesome! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Dayelilly - October 29 - 12:13 am

  We have owned our new Grand Prix less then a month and it is awesome! Really fun to drive, hugs the road and your flying before you realize it! All the instruments are turned toward the driver which makes it easy to use the a/c, heat or radio. There are "6" air vents on the front dash! The profile of this car is fun and sporty! You really couldnt ask for more car or features for the money! All the power you need and a great ride! Pontiac needs to advertise this car more! We didnt go in to buy a Grand Prix but one test drive and we were hooked! Looking forward to some fun trips on the road.

  Salesmans Car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By pakeane - October 10 - 3:03 am

  Test drove the ususal mid-size imports along with the GP, after crunching the numbers the GP provides much more value for your dollar. Base drivetrain miles ahead of base imports. Ample torque across powerband. Purchased for a salesman who travels 20k+ each year in the car (in addition to countless miles via air). Fair city mileage with good highway mileage and manners. Dont be affraid of domestic cars based on that crappy 1987 Oldsmoford you owned. While maybe not as refined as the other options on the market, this is surley a solid car at an attractive price point.

  I like my car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Cyndi - October 5 - 7:16 am

  I purchased the car in early summer. The AC and heat both work very well, interior is very comfortable. It is also a nice riding car, heavy enough to feel secure on the highway. It also has nice pick-up for highway driving. I now have about 10,000 miles and have had no mechanical problems. I am very happy.

  great car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By thomas carapelho - September 22 - 1:36 am

  i love this car. it handles like a luxury car and the v6 engine has plenty of power to get up and go. i have 15,000 miles on it and havent had any complaints except for the dimmer switch wich could have been placed in a more conspicuous place on the dash.

  Not a bad first car these days, but research first - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Keith - September 21 - 3:40 am

  First let me say that this car isnt bad. Its a very comfortable car, and mine came with bucket seats which are very cozy. The sound system is great, mine came from the dealership with Bose speakers that are very crisp and clear. However, the interior/entertainment is not where my issues are. I am constantly having to replace/repair something on this car. In the 3 years Ive had it, Ive replaced the front tie rod, the exhaust, the thermostat, the rotors twice, the brakes 3 times, among others. This car is starting to not be worth the trouble. Not to mention the very mediocre gas mileage compared to newer cars. I drive very conservatively (partially due to the fear of breaking something else) and the most MPG Ive ever gotten out of this car was 26 miles and that was 100% highway driving for 280 miles. Its a very comfortable car, but like my other Grand Prix that I had before this one, its a money pit after a while. Make sure to do your research.

  Pontiac Got Outclassed...By itself - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Seth - September 4 - 10:33 am

  I got a lease and I just recently turned it in and got a new lease on a Pontiac G8. And man, everything the GP does right, the G8 does so much better and all the flaws from the GP vanish. But this is for the GP, though. The Grand Prix is a great car just to push the the limits. But when it comes down to business, it did terribly. I bumped my head in the back, causing the sunroof to get dislodged. I had a headache and a car repair bill. I was so mad. Also annoyances include archaic stereo system that looks like my old 1998 Grand Am. Its ugly inside and out. I was not satisfied at all.
