  Review after 4 years of reliable and fun performance - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By 218 - May 24 - 10:17 pm

  I aquired my 2006 Grand Prix(base) in March 2009 and I have to say it is an excellent performer and reliable daily driver. In the time that I have owned my Gp, I have had little to no problems with it. The car can definitely makes a daily drive exciting with its 200hp-230 torque as it has defeated many a foe. It also responds very well to modifications, Ive placed a CAI, ZZP 304 SS headers, downpipe, and catback with Flowmaster Super 44s. It sounds badass to finalize. My friends praise its quickness and superb ride quality on the road, its a bliss to drive daily and a joy when the go-pedal is abused. In short, it is an excellent car and I would reccomend one to all.

  Just Bought it and LOVE IT! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By pat - May 7 - 12:46 pm

  I hate to say it, but this one was somewhat of an unexpected, impulse buy. I looked at a Honda Accord at 8:30 this morning and was driving a Pontiac GXP off the lot by 12:30 this afternoon. There is just something about that throaty V8 and the wrap around cockpit that says "this feels right!" It has the clothes of a sports sedan, but is undoubtedly a legitimate muscle car. My advice is if youre going to buy an Accord, Maxima, or high- end Altima, dont test drive this car... youll never look back... Pat

  A great first car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Teri - March 11 - 1:06 pm

  This was the first car I purchased after graduating from grad school. The Grand Prix had everything I wanted and it was a great price. I am so happy I have it. I am constantly getting compliments on how nice the inside looks. People are always impressed with the "extras" my car has.

  Driving Experience - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Review - November 28 - 12:46 am

  I have looked around for a new vehicle, and this Pontiac has it all, the power, of the V8 and the great looks, I bought the Black one, I think that is the only color it looks good in, the ride is great, it could use more room in the back seat, the trunk space has alot of room, if you are looking for a new car, take a look at the Pontiac GXP,AND MOST OF ALL take it for a test ride, you wont be disappointed, this car has alot for the price.

  Rock solid - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By DERRECK - November 18 - 11:06 pm

  I recently traded my saturn l300 for the grand prix gt and i am very satisfied. With the excepition of the tight back seat, i have no complaints. The interior is very roomy, but the backseat leg room is less than my old saturn. I got a great lease deal with incentives and my dads employee discount. The supercharged 3800 is smooth and strong and gets good fuel economy. I recomend this vehicle as an alternative to the everyday camry and accord.

  GXP Has Great Power - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By n costabilo - September 5 - 6:53 am

  This review on edmunds does not do the GXP model justice. It is fun to drive and is faster than the 300c/Hemi Charger. Driven a few 300s w/ and w/o Hemi and have not been impressed with performance and handling. The GXP has a lot to offer nad is a joy to drive.

  Fast and Versatile - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By guy - August 15 - 2:30 am

  So its a low-lifes dream car, so what? It has many assets: Much cheaper than the Volvo S60R I was also looking at, expressive appearance, dark cherry red exterior, cool rims, black leather interior, smooth ride, lots of cargo space, and rumbling 303hp V8 that runs on 4 cylinders for 28 mpg when cruising. And fun to drive, with great acceleration, control and braking. On downside, w/ my ht, drivers seat must be tilted back so I dont hit roof. Also, headrest is fixed parallel w/seat back, so its too far back to be of use even if seat werent tilted. Was car designed for Neanderthals, or should I drive with a racing helmet? I just slouch along, but somehow it works for me.
