Loyal to the 'Prix

Although I don't love the color (I loved the cherry red that my '99 offered), or the fact that I was forced to buy a 4-door car (2-door no longer offered), overall I still like the car well enough to buy it again. It's a nice ride, has the options I really like (HUD and heated leather seating), and handles well. It's sporty, but still reserved. I love the large trunk and fold down seats (VERY useful for those of us who don't want to buy gas guzzling SUV's). I like the upgraded lighting package. The cruise control and HUD display control is awkwardly placed. The glove box is too small. The back seat doesn't afford much passenger room, but it works well for kids. A great car all in all!

I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality and comfort of my Grand Prix; haven't had to take it back to the dealership for anything except routine maintenance which is pleasant surprise after dealing with numerous recalls & problems with my last 4 (new) vehicles. Also, I drive a lot of miles & still enjoy driving the Grand Prix after a year. LOVE the color - Fusion Orange Metallic, enough gray already!!

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP 4dr Sedan (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Just bought the new GXP, my first Pontiac. Have had Chevy, Geo, Nissan's, Toyota, and Mazda before. This by far is the slickest, most powerful, fun to drive, and packed with the most features for the money. This one came fully loaded with everything except navigation system. The driver and passenger seats are very soft and comfortable and can be positioned in numerous ways. Dual climate climate control is nice. Radio automatically adjust for sound as you speed up or slow down. The V-8 will cut off 4 cylinders once you get to cruising speed to save gas mileage. This puppy gets about 27 MPG on the highway which is nice for a V-8 with 303 hp.

A driver's car

This car is outstanding with 18" wheels the ride and handling rivals anything on the road. Fit and finish are excellent, this is a driver's car. Dual exhaust also gives this car the sound of my 70' corvette.

Great car not reflective of editors rate

We have only had the car a few weeks but love the handling, and bought the car because of the great 3.8 engine. Ride is smooth, and engine is not noisy as reflected in editor's critique. Back seat is tight, and no molding strips to protect door bangers. But comfortable, fun driving car that looks great.
