  • My Cherry GXP - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    My GXP has been perfect, no problems at all. Really is fun to drive and I love the purr of the V-8 motor. I trade cars every 2 to 3 years, but this is a keeper. I even bought an extended warranty for 7years and 84,000 miles. Told my wife to bury me in it. Mileage is not great, but a 400+ mile trip last year netted about 24MPG and not at 55MPH either.

  • Vibration that wont stop - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Overall, I like my GP although it has been in the shop 3 times in the 1 month since purchase. There is a vibration in the front that the dealer cannot repair. After balancing, new tires, full alignment and rebalancing, the vibration persists. So far this experience does not make me a happy customer. I may have to go back to Chrysler products to be satisfied. Any ideas to fix the vibration before we have to replace all the rims to try that? HELP! I like the car but dont need the vibration.

  • Great Car, Great Price - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Always like the Grand Am, and was looking for a GT when I found this on the lot. Drove it and was in love. It is just a great car! Tons of power, very comfortable. Im 65" and its got plenty of room for me. Seats are some of the best Ive ever had, had Caddys, Acuras and Saabs. The leather is top notch and shows no wear. Monsoon sound is incredible, but distorts a little when its way up. And probably could use more bass. For its size, it drives smaller and corners great! Highway miles are smooth and comfy and the seat heaters are great for my lower back. Climate is strong and works quickly. What a great car.

    I drove a G6 and loved the tight body. The GXP is not as tight, but the V8 power is awesome. I disagree with Edmunds because they arent factoring in price and gas mileage. The Charger may be a better car, but its a new model. Grand Prix has been around a few years. Also, the Charger, which is much heavier doesnt get 28 mpg on the highway (GXP does if you use cruise control). Also, I got a loaded GXP for 28000. A similarly equipped Charger would go for 35000, and OnStar isnt even available! In an other 18 months, I am going to get the G6 GXP!!

  • 4th Pontiac Grand Prix - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This is the 4th Grand Prix that I have had. I love these cars & hate the fact that GMC has stopped making them. I recently rented a 2010 Lacrosse for a road trip, & missed my car a lot. Grand Prixs are reliable from my experience, & will take the best care possible of this one. Drives like a dream, comfortable, enjoy everything about it. I just put new rims on it and have had several compliments already. I am very protective over this car, & know that I will get years of enjoyment with it. Nothing negative to say, I have been Blessed.

  • Dependable, Fun, & Handy ! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    My 2006 GP is 4 years old now, though Ive only owned it for a year. Its been a great car. Ive had absolutely no mechanical or body issues, and its been very dependable. The interior is typically-sporty as only Pontiac can do, but the ride is also very comfy for a sporty car. The body color is a blueish/green that changes to purple, and it gets attention. The most impressive thing is the back seats folding down, giving me plenty of room to haul. I actually packed (12) 8-foot long shelf pieces, plus closet poles and (8) furring strips into one trip. I guess I dont need a pickup truck after all. Overall, very happy.

  • Nice Car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

  • Grand Prix - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This car has been a pleasure to own. I have had it since new, and recently was in a head on collision. These cars are very safe. I came out of a head on collision with a very minor injury to my hand and my passenger was perfectly fine. This cars performance was outstanding. I had a K&N filter on my engine the rest was stock. The car was fast and efficient. I could go 0-60 in 6.3 seconds and my average economy never droped below 28mpg so the economy stats on this car depend on the way you drive it. At the floor you get 4.3mpg and at 59mph with the cruise set you will get 31-35mpg. I personaly think that these cars have too much power for their size, and to think this is coming from a 20year old. Thanks .
