2006 Pontiac GTO 2dr Coupe (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

What a fun car to drive. I wanted a daily driver with some kick. Have had all the BMW's,Mercedes,Audi's etc.... This car is power (400HP). Its just a great, comfortable car. I would rate it 10 in everything except gas milage (of course), I drive it 70 miles a day and its a pleasure. Has a great engine rumble to it. Stereo is pretty good, I do miss a compass and outside temp (loking to buy aftermarket rear view mirror that has it built in). To sum it all up, this car makes driving what it should be FUN! Plus there are loads of aftermarket goodies to buy. Go get one a have the next american classic. Sorry to see Pontiac saying goodbye to this rocket.

Favorite Features

Power, sound,interior, GM has done an outstanding job on the look of this interior, got the Red seats,comfort, the most comfortable seats I have even sat in, Its a Pontiac GTO. Price, you cant buy more HP for less. Love that only has two options transmission and wheel size.

Suggested Improvements

Get onstar, compass, exterior temp,truck is a little small, design a better key, no homelink, these are all minor, They would make the perfect car more perfect.

Review

This is the fastest car that most people will ever drive. The performance is awesome. I must say however, that the suspension does not match the engine. I guess to get that you have to spend the extra $20K and get a Corvette. Awesome car though, worth every penny.

Favorite Features

Performance, nice sound system, comfy seats. Best bang for your buck value!!

Suggested Improvements

More room between clutch pedal and foot rest area An on/off switch for the traction control that would allow the TC to stay off, until it is turned back on. Darn 1rst to 4th gear shift feature is a drag.

Speed

Suggested Improvements

Need better gas mileage!! When a driver gets only 12 mpg at 'slow' speeds under a hundred, G.M. Must do better! How about 40 mpg at 160mph??????

Review

Just purchased a 2006 GTO 6L 6 speed manuel. Very Safisfied !!! Runs like a mid-60's muscle car, handles like an Indy racer, and gets the mileage of a late 90's family car. I'm going through my "third" childhood and absolutely enjoying it !!

Favorite Features

Seating comfort Performance Fit and finish Does not "grab the eye" of passers-by or State Troopers !!

The Best Yet

Review

This has to be my favorite car ever. I do not know how many I have owned but the list includes Mustang GT's, Corvettes, Mercedes 560 SL's, Thunderbirds, etc. This is the ultimate driving machine so far. Outperforms everything else and is comfortable for my 6'3", 275 pound body. I do feel sorry for people that would have to ride in the back seat, but this vehicle was not purchased for them. I have had some initial problems that I believe are attributable to transit involving the front end and strut failure. Only 3000 miles so far so reliability would be slanted heavily by these problems if not properly viewed. Overall, this car is great and has me looking for the next generation.

Favorite Features

Performance followed very closely with driver and passenger comfort. For the type of car, gas mileage is excellent at 23-25 mpg. My GTO is silver metalic so is somewhat of a sleeper until you can hear it.

Suggested Improvements

Care in shipping, specifically tie down. The sound system is somewhat lacking unless you want a boom box. I would prefer a gas guzzler tax to the 1st to 4th lockout.

Review

I have had this car for 2 weeks now, and I can't wipe the smile off my face every time I sit in the driver's seat. Why more people haven't discovered this car I don't know, but better for me because it's that much more unique. Has undescribable power from the Corvette LS2 V8, great balanced handling, most comfortable seats in any car I have ever owned, good size back seat (better than a mustang), great interior design. GM finally got this car right for 2006 and now they aren't making them anymore. If you are thinking about buying one, just go test drive it. This is your last chance because they stopped making them last month. No wonder this car is an icon in Australia!

Favorite Features

400 hp, great comfort, better exterior looks, 18 inch wheels and better brakes for 2006 model as compared to prior model years

Suggested Improvements

Egress from back seat is a little tough

My GTO Experience

2006 Pontiac GTO 2dr Coupe (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I bought a new 1964 GTO and a new 1967 gto convertible which were both very good cars in handling and performance. However, my new 2006 GTO is so much better in every way that the old GTO's do not compare. The only exception is the body style of the new GTO is not quite as good as it should be for true muscle car style.

Favorite Features

1) 400 horsepower, 6 speed transmission 2) great interior 3) handling and ride

Suggested Improvements
