Fairly Good Car overall

Nice big car, lots of room, loads of power from the 3.8 v6. Love the exhaust growl. I always compare this car to my 04 Honda Accord 4cyl. This car has way more power and gets the same fuel mileage. On the other hand it doesn't handle as well and the fit and finish are not nearly as good. I love the interior, especially at night. Reliability is ok. Burns a bit of oil. At 100000miles, its starting to squeak and rattle, which my Honda is not. Overall a pretty good car.

Overall, I have been pleased with the GTP. I have owned the supercharged engine before and it's a primary reason why I bought this car. It is very strong at 260 hp- although I have not gunned it too much yet- still new. The car definitely looks cool in black- almost batman -like. I get all kinds of looks from people. Lots of features plus a good, sporty look got me into this car. I also got the GM employee price minus my GM card rebate which came out to be around 25K for a totally loaded 2005 GTP. Pretty good deal for what you get. Definitely not a boring-looking Accord or a Camry..

I bought my Pontiac Grand Prix safetied almost a year ago at 246xxx kms. I’ve had a couple issues since Including the elbow hose under the hood which was causing it to spray coolant out and my car would overheat. Got that fixed and since then I’ve only had to replace a wheel bearing and my gas line. It’s been very reliable and surprisingly good on gas. Something to look out for on these cars is the transmissions. On the base model (which I have) they are better, but I’m at 274xxx kms right now and my engine has been on and off starting to clunk for the past 20k......also is doing this thing when I reach around 80mph is starts rocking back and forth and almost seems like it’s bogging, but after accelerating a little it stops. It’s very easy to fix things on these cars, and I’d say they’re good starter cars.

I got a 2006 Grand Prix as my very first car, it was used.From the moment I started to drive the car I loved it. I never had any problems with it, as I did keep up with care on it. Nothing out of the ordinary happened with it, it was always a great car, specially the night it saved my life, and 3 other peoples. That night the tires slid on ice. We slid straight into a guard rail on the drivers side in the middle between the doors. Then flipped over the guard rail and flipped twice. The car took the impact like a champ, and saved our lives all 4 of us walked away. The car did it's job & protected me and my passengers. This car was nothing but great.

Handling is excellent, the styling is most attractive particularly from the side and front/three quarter views, I love the rush of power in the midrange when you feel the superchargercut in... it really is a fun car to drive.
