  Reliable Car ~ So sad to see it go.... - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Jasmine Primas - April 21 - 3:54 pm

  I had this car fora about a year, and I bought it at 180,000 miles on it....quiet, ran like new! I had absolutely no problems with this car besides regular maintenance like oil change, tire rotation, the usual stuff. I wasnt a big fan of the dark teal colored pain job, and interior is pretty boring, but the quality of this car is a keeper for sure! **Im sorry, I was at the shop one time, this is when I first bought it, I had to get my water pump replaced, but that was it...

  Like my old car better - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By moms ride - April 19 - 4:50 am

  I have had the car a few months and I have to say I miss my 1999 Grand Prix GTP. I regret selling it to buy the 2006 Grand Prix GXP I have now. My old car handled much better and had GREAT fuel economy. 25-30 mpg for my daily driving. The GXP is getting tops 18 mpg. This is WAY under what I was told. The full size pickup with the same motor is getting 20 mpg. I also have lots of rattles and squeaks in the interior. It is also dogging and is missing. I am actually thinking about selling it already. I love the overall look of the car. It is a definite head turner. Guess I just got the bottom of the pile on this one.

  Grand X-iting Prix - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Kichigai - December 16 - 5:26 am

  Driving this car is a lot of fun, I dont recommend test driving it if you arent interested in purchasing it, because you will after. The guys at the dealership love when someone test drives it. I was looking for a vehicle in the $20,000s and drove a few, but after seeing the GXP and the test drive the next day, yeah I went back, I forgot all about the civic si, mazda rx-8 and saturn redline. It handles great and all components are easily reached by the driver, which is bad for passenger because they will have to lean to use any of them. My gas consumption has averaged about 19-20 mpg so far, even all highway. I hope this changes as the engine breaks in.

  A real Import Intimidator - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Eddy - November 21 - 1:26 am

  I purchased this GT version being less than one year old at a great price. This car has solid feel with no lack of power when required. The interior design is comfortable with all the treats of leather, sunroof and power seat. I enjoy the ride on 17" tires as it handles well. I came from a Grand AM GT and this feels much better. I went on twisty roads on my way skiing and it was awesome, power to come out of corners on the uphill. You dont need to push this car as it comes on easy. I have had imports before and the 4 bangers dont do it. The V6s are over priced and limited supply. The fit and finish is top notch.
