  • Fun & Furious, because Fast is a given! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

    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!

    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

    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

    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!

  • 291,000 Miles and still going strong - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Best car Ive ever owned 291,000 miles and still running strong! Still has original tranny and engine! It is a very plain and basic car but with its reliability what else could you ask for Ive only done basic mainetence oil changes, System fluid, brakes, and water pump had to be replaced 50,000 miles ago

  • Dollar for Dollar-Cant be beat!!!!!!!!! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    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 -

    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!

  • 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I have had this car for over 2 years now, and I must say I love it. I honestly dont know how I stumbled upon it because I was initially looking for either a Maxima, or a Charger. Somehow I stumbled upon this car and it is awesome. It looks awesome and turns heads all of the time because it is different. Mine (all black with black interior) is rare where I am and I havent seen one like it around. People love riding in it, and my wife loves to drive it. Its very comfortable to drive, and I have never had any issues with it. The 3800 motor in it is a legend in the car world, and mechanics salivate when they see the 3800 v6 it wrapped with headers and a supercharger.

  • Grand Prix- Welcome Back ! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    We shopped around before buying the 2006 Grand Prix. It has met or exceeded all our expectations so far. I bumped my head the 1st time I got in the back seat. We were surprised how roomy and confortable the back seat was after reading mixed reviews and remembering to duck. This our 4th car with the 3.8 litre v6. We would have to say its one of the best engines ever built. We bought the base model and are very happy with the acceleration. Wow what a great car!

  • Torque steer, If you say so - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    First I feel GM should advertise this car, let its virtues be known to the public. This is no ordinary Grand Prix. I also own a 2000 GTP Daytona 500 Pace Car with an SLP Performance package. I feel it is far more desirable than an Audi or BMW and I have own both in the past. Performance and comfort are outstanding. Black in color is desirable. Mileage if you do 55 mph at speed is closer to 23 to 25 mpg. Love my Pontiacs. So far I have not experience torque steer in either GPs. I know what the experts say but...
