Used 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix Consumer Reviews
Just fun to drive
I have the Comp G model and just love it. It's fun to drive, comfortable to ride in for long lenghts of time and has power when needed. This is my second GTP and the 05 is greatly improved over my previous 02 model. Five travel in comfort will plenty of truck space for luggage.
My 3rd Pontiac
Had 00 Bonneville se,02ssei & now Grand prix GT. The Bonnie was getting pricey so I got a GP with leather, heated seats, sun roof & optional aluminum wheels. Love the car, sporty handling in turns and still comfy on the hwy and am getting far better mpg than ssei. Got about $5000 off list with GM incentives. Was looking at Camrys and they were stripped down at this price. I'm also a big fan of the 3.8v6... even with the pushrods.

Fueling Excitement
Cars are often rated by factors such as reliability, safety, and performance, but there is one key feature that most reviewers can't explain...the thrill. The Grand Prix, particularly in the GTP w/ Competition Group package, was a car that was immediately exciting to sit in, and even moreso once it was taken on the road. All stresses and worries are taken away every day when I get in it now...it has the stability and roominess of a large car, but effortless steering and power more typically associated with lighter sports cars. Not only that, but the car allows me to go fast, look fast, and not look like a pompous jerk or a pimpled teen while doing it. Accords don't have that ability.
Love those Pontiacs!
The car offers more performance, comfort and luxury features than anything else in its size range. GM's financing made it our lease a "steal" and we'll be back for another one in 3 years. BTW, our other car is a 2003 Grand Am GT 2-dr that offers sportiness at a low price. It ain't a performance car, but it sure gives good value for the money!
Great buy and fun to drive
Bought a 2004 GTP for myself and this year a 2005 GTP for my wife. Both are great cars, however the 2005 has the heads up display which is nice and the XM radio which is a dream. Speed and handling are superb even in snow. Traction control saved me on black ice! Only down side it is a little tight with people in the back seat as I like a lot of leg room when driving. Styling is subjective but it appears mean looking particularly in black.
