  • Best bang for your buck - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I loved my 2006 Grand Prix GXP the second I drove it. I was looking for something with muscle that could still be somewhat sensible. I have had zero problems with the car, and I still love it. I have the mileage up to almost 23,000 already, and Im in the thing constantly. The remote start is fantastic! It even has a sensor that detects the outside temperature..so if you remote-start your car on a hot day, the A/C comes on, start it on a cold day, the heat comes on. All in all, my only complaint was lack of tire selection..however, Goodyear is now manufacturing Eagle F1 All-Seasons in the appropriate sizes and they are killer tires. There are several companies that make tires for it..

    I have never owned a pontiac, but i love this car!!!!!!! All cars have downsides be it maintenance, gas or whatever. Ive owned mostly ford mustang gt`s, but i bought a 94 caddy 3 yrs ago and i was transformed into a gm man. My wife has a 2003 caddy cts under 28,000 miles, and this car rides as good as this minus the toys;" she also agrees". Power is better than her 3.2 2003 Cts. This car is a sleeper. I have the base model. But its more than adequate; see for yourself. Also before i forget; the caddy has been in the shop for little annoying things, and as of today her powersteering pump is leaking and the car is acting funny; dealer said they are going to fix it, luckily. Buy the gran prix

  • 2006 Grand Prix Sedan (Base) - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

    My previous car was a 1997 Bonneville, Series II 3.8L V6. I have to say, that with this new Grand Prix, I felt so secure with the purchase because the engine is just exceptionally dependable and easily modified. Id never owned a GP like this one, and so far I absolutely love it. Easy to maintain, smooth shifting, and somewhat powerful(could use some mods though). I cant wait for dual exhaust, short RAM intake and my new hood. I have to say that the shifty squeaking/clicking I get in the steering column is something I could do without though. The factory sound system is more than I expected, with more than enough bass to keep me happy for a while.

  • 260 hp supercharged& super fast - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This is my first Grand prix. I absoulutly love it. Who would have thought a 260 horsepower v6 0-60 in 6.5 the monsoon system will rock your socks off the super charger will snap your neck and the outside apperance will turn heads. All of this and I still get 20.4 mpg in city driving. I cant believe that 2008 is the last year for this power house

  • Nice Car - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

    This is one fine car it drives like a dream and also rides very nice also good gas mileage I really cant say anything bad about it.

  • Wow. Awesome car. - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Much much better than I expected. Tried ALL midsize cars, both foreign and domestic and this was the clear winner. Fast, quiet, handles excellently at both high speed and low. Tracks very well. Excellent stability system and the brakes drag you to a stop faster than an aircraft carrier landing deck. If you have a bias against the Pontiac name, I suggest you try this car. My Saab-loving wife drove it once and decided that this was the best car going for the price -- 27,600$ with leather and airbags and a few other toys.

  • Love It - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Have had my 2006 for eight years. She has over 240,000 miles and Ive only done basic maintenance. A comfortable ride which is important with a two hour commute each day. Great performance and gas mileage! Ive started looking for another vehicle and plan to pass this one to the kids. I wish the Grand Prixs were still being produced!

  • Love My GT!!! - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I love what they have done with the 2006 model. If you get a chance to get the leather interior I would highly suggest it for max comfort. The back seat room is totally fine and the sun roof does not crowd the head space. I am 6 foot 2 and can sit in it with much ease. (Also have a wife and a 19 month daughter that are able to sit very comfortably as well. If you are looking for a stealth design with some need for speed while still being able to up hold some class, the GT version is the way to go hands down without breaking your pockets.

  • Awesome Looking - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

    What a fun car to drive and look at! DVD Navigation is is awesome, sound controls on the steering wheel is very helpful. I Love the HUD, and the ability to adjust the info presented on it.

  • Great Automobile - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Just purchased it, love it, sharp looking in the Stelth Gray, quiet, comfortable, solid, and handles good on twisty roads. Only 200 horses but more than enough, keeps up with all but the quickest sedans costing twice as much. Looks of a European sedan, comes standard with tons of gadgets. The electronics can be customized to your own taste. This is a classy automobile. Many creature comforts and fold down rear seats for extra long items. Many 2006 improvements on the engine and trans. The 3.8 V6 has tons of torque coupled with the medium duty (not light) 4L65-E trans is a great combo. No Im not a dealer, Im the son of a son of a mechanic and appreciate a well built automobile.
