  Fun & Furious, because Fast is a given! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By GXP_Extreme - February 16 - 3:46 am

  This car is awesome! Who would have thought a car in this price range would be better than most cars on the road. I laugh at the people and their expensive luxury cars with 1/3 less horse power and the same mpg. With this car I can drive like a kid and still drive the kids around. This car is THE complete package for a single/family man (Or woman). Thank you GM for a great car!

  I LOVE this animal! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Sexy Tina - November 25 - 12:10 am

  Way too cool. Im single and 27 and this is my first real car. I LOVE IT!!! I can whoooooosh past anyone on the road and it drives very nicely in the snow and it has the remote start, which I LOVE on cold mornings. LOVE the onstar, love the seats, love the way I can push on the gas and say buh-bye! to all the boys trying to catch me. This car is sleek and TIGHT!

  Good car for starters - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Jason Whitney - November 15 - 3:57 am

  This car has some get up and go, but not a speed demon. Top end is high. 2 years of ownership, and only flaws at 130k miles is have to replace serpentine belt and possibly check wheel bearings. Otherwise this car has been solid, and is sound in all driving conditions for weather. Works well in snow, rain, and great a/c if charged. I may keep this car instead of trading it in.

  A new fan of Pontiacs! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Marian - October 16 - 3:23 pm

  I just bought my used 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GT and I LOVE it! I went to get a different car, but then I test drove it and fell in love. The exterior is kind of boring, but the interior, the horsepower, and the features make up for that in my book! If youve never driven one, check it out soon!

  Its okay, but... - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By MiaT - September 25 - 7:10 am

  Im getting about 16-17mpg around town, and that is without much traffic and long desert roads. Have had the engine bolts tightened and still get rumbling when in idle. Door windows starting to get scratches. Was told they were off centered and will have to be fixed. Air conditioner starting to break too and have an appointment to get fixed also. Not the best vision (blind spots), but have driven worse. Not a lot of head room in back for tall people, but great for kids. Wish I had better things to say about it. I must have gotten the lemon.

  2006 Pontiacs have issues - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By mcompton - September 14 - 5:46 pm

  I bought this pontiac used in 2007. I know I do not know what the history of the car was before this other than carfax being clean, it has had many issues. Now has 50,000 miles on it and just had to replace power steering rack b/c of leak, I have a valve that has broken and has to e replaced to turn off check engine light (was told this is really common in these cars by dealer due to design flaw and freezing water breaking a valve in low temperatures), and my drivers side window motor has broken. I was also told by dealer in replacing my power steering rack that my tire rod in the front is shot and will need to be replaced soon. Only 50,000 miles!

  Poor Build Quailty - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Cdoes - July 21 - 1:56 am

  Prior to owning this base model I had a 2000 GTP model which was very reliable up past 100k miles. One word of advice- Buy a 2007/2008 model where the powertrain warranty is 100k miles instead of 35k or GM certified used. I bought this car used with 8k miles from a Subaru Dealer....Everything was fine until the factory warranty ran out at 35k miles, at the point I knew I should have bought one with an extended warranty....At 41k miles the A/c system stopped working, $765.76 out of pocket.....49k miles I was driving and the car lost first/2nd gear.....Tranny rebuild- $2,109 out of pocket.....Right now the heater has stopped working as well as the front wheel hubs need replaced....

  Dollar for Dollar-Cant be beat!!!!!!!!! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By dougie - July 6 - 7:00 am

  I got rid of a Hemi-Ram to get this car-3.25 a gallon gas will do that! The gas mileage is great for a big car, and it has plenty of power, plus the 3800 v-6 is a great engine, will last forever! The car is a blast to drive, I am 68", and I have plenty of room. The backseat is a little tight, but you cant have everything. My wife has a BMW, and we both enjoy driving this Grand Prix much better than the BMW, which costs over double! Great design, fun to drive, good gas mileage, and super dependable!! Take that imports!!!!!!!!!

  I Totally DIG this car! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By California Boy - March 17 - 1:16 pm

  Wow. I was going to buy an Acura and on a complete whim I tried this Grand Prix. THIS AINT NO RENTAL CAR!!! This thing is fast, smooth and very quiet. Better than an Acura or Audi in my opinion. Snotty Beverly Hills people might not drive one, but that is their problem! Excellent Job, GM!
