  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.

  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.

  Great Sports-Family Car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Jen - August 29 - 11:00 am

  My first car was a Pontiac, so I am partial to the brand. I LOVE this car! It is stylish, sporty and fun to drive. I get great gas mileage and have a lot of room in the front, either riding or driving. The back is roomy, unless you put the front seats back. It cramps little legs. We have two booster seats in the back and if you want to fit a third person, you have to remove one of the seats to be comfortable.

  My GXP - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Lostrebel - August 26 - 1:46 pm

  Pure performance from a 4 door sedan. Not for the weak of heart or forearm. Once we mastered the torque steer the car is a complete joy to drive. Superb handling and braking under all conditions.

  06GrandPrixGT - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Irish - August 17 - 10:36 pm

  I drove a 97 GTP for 8 years and loved it so I was reluctant about the new style but when the 06 came out with more power and options in a GT I traded up. This car can fly. Ive driven the Magnum RT and the Grand Prix is faster off the line. Smooth ride, corners well. 90 degree doors in the rear are nice for kids getting in and out. I would recommend buying one without a sunroof as it adds much needed headroom. Leg room in the rear is a little tight but seats are more comfortable than the 04/05 versions.

  Great car!! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By hillmankc - July 26 - 9:16 pm

  Purchased GXP after much research. It is AWESOME - just as the other GXP owners say it is! It has nice styling cues borrowed from classic Pontiacs of the past (turned-aluminum style dash, fender vents from 2nd generation TAs), but is not a rehashed "retro" car. I believe this FINALLY is the car Pontiac had in mind when they presented the Grand Am in 1973: a sporty sedan with performance that surpasses imports costing many $$ more. Handling is superb; build and paint are outstanding; interior look and feel are nice, especially compared to GPs of a few years ago. Cabin is ultra-quiet, until you hit that gas pedal! This car is the proverbial "iron fist in a velvet glove"! Love it!

  Holy COW, this car is great! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Mr. Hyde - July 8 - 9:23 pm

  Drove every other car in its class and this one came out on top by a HUGE margin. Super engine, quiet, awesome driving position and seats. Very good mpg and incredible brakes. Consumer Reports rated this car poorly. I think they must have hit their heads on a few washing machines. This car is FANTASTIC. Try it, then see if you agree with me. The GXP is an animal.
