  A Smooth Cruiser - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Sui - October 26 - 12:23 pm

  I know a floaty car that has decent power when I drive one. The Grand Prix is not the largest sedan I have driven nor does it have the most powerful engine, but this car basically drives and feels like a real 4-door sedan - comfy and very easy to drive, good acceleration, and it passes Sunday drivers with authority. Idle is barely noticeable; the road and wind noise is also low. Steering has some play in it, which I prefer because one doesnt have to grip the wheel so hard to keep it in a straight line. Brakes are mushy, but work very well. Interior and body are "dated" but I love the symmetrical look (especially the hood). Dashboard offers many features and functions.

  Excellent car for the money - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By tarponking - October 22 - 2:13 am

  Great car, very responsive. Love the supercharger, love the looks, drive and feel of this car. Plenty of room for family of four. Would love to see better gas mileage. For the price you cant beat this car.

  Good, fun, easy on gas too - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

  I really like driving this car. There is a GM service bulletin for the transmission. I average 30 on freeway trips and have averaged 23 in town. But if I use the boost, oh how it drinks the fuel while I smile from the power. No lag like a turbo either.

  So far so good! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Dan - February 16 - 6:26 am

  Wanted to get into something a bit cheaper to run than my truck. This is it. Originally I was looking at G6 sedans, base 4 banger, only option I wanted was cruise. This is just so much more car for the money! Only have it not even 2.5 months and already have 6,500 miles on it. It is just racking up the miles without a hiccup. Runs good, gets decent mileage and is just an all-around good ride. So far no problems. Headroom could be better, the sunroof eats into it a bit. With the rebates, if you just need basic transportation, this fits the bill quite nicely!

  Love car other than minor defects that we have come across that dealerships seem to not be able to fix such. The car acts like its going to die at times or stall out. We have taken it 6+ times and dealer ship never fixes the problem.

  4 Door Corvette - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By PFWiz - September 6 - 10:40 pm

  If you want a truly quick 4 door car with a nice size trunk and you know that rear wheel drive just doesnt cut it in the snow belt then the GXP may be the car you are looking for. Blazing fast (Car & Driver says 14.3 seconds in the quarter) with very good handling for a large front wheel driver. Yes, I know rear wheel drive is better for 10/10s driving, but be honest how often do you drive 10/10s? On the other hand I drive in the snow every winter and front wheel drive wins hands down there. The Heads Up Display is a hoot and watching it display direction to your destination from the nav system is extremely cool. Build quality pretty good, nice even gaps, no squeaks or rattles.

  My Pontiac Grand Prix GT in less than a year... - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By mohammadshakhtra@yahoo.com - August 31 - 4:27 pm

  This car is great dont get me wrong, I was just unlucky and bought a "lemon" I shouldve seen this coming as I did buy the car for only $2,000. When I bought mine I was led to believe it was in almost perfect condition. All I knew was that is had a bumper crack and that was all. But two weeks after owning it the battery went dead on me and that led to all my problems. Now here I am 10 months later and almost $2,000 into the car. And now I have to get rid of the car as now the transmission has gone out on me and I do not honestly feel like putting more money into it. I love this car so much dont get me wrong. I love the look and the speed from the supercharger. But I cant keep dumping money into it. I just thought Id share my story and to tell people dont shy away from this car! Just be careful when buying.

  MY GXP - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By GERALD BRAY - May 20 - 4:56 am

  Of all the words theres none so fine as these last three, i got mine. We love love love our gxp. Test drove an ss impala, theres no comparison. The suspension and brake differences in the gxp are destined to give this car a reputation head and shoulders above the rest.12 In town 20 highway came as a surprise, but were still happy with our choice. Comfort,speed, handling, and style are a cut above the rest. It will even outrun last years 5.7Liter gto.
