Like my old car better

2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP 4dr Sedan (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
I have had the car a few months and I have to say I miss my 1999 Grand Prix GTP. I regret selling it to buy the 2006 Grand Prix GXP I have now. My old car handled much better and had GREAT fuel economy. 25-30 mpg for my daily driving. The GXP is getting tops 18 mpg. This is WAY under what I was told. The full size pickup with the same motor is getting 20 mpg. I also have lots of rattles and squeaks in the interior. It is also dogging and is missing. I am actually thinking about selling it already. I love the overall look of the car. It is a definite head turner. Guess I just got the bottom of the pile on this one.

First of all, I had this car for a year now and I absolutely LOVE it! However, I will only describe here the things you should watch out for if you plan on buying one: Gas consumption: 11.6L/100km overall -T/C button near cup holder: I keep getting coffee all over it Stock tires (Eagle LS) will wear out like you won't believe. I think they are summer-only performance tires. Expect to change them sooner than you hope Common problem with steering column getting dried up. It starts to click when you turn -Glove box is so small and inaccessible you can barely keep an envelope in there (it was way bigger in my old Sunfire)

Best car I've ever owned 291,000 miles and still running strong! Still has original tranny and engine! It is a very plain and basic car but with its reliability what else could you ask for I've only done basic mainetence oil changes, System fluid, brakes, and water pump had to be replaced 50,000 miles ago

This car has some get up and go, but not a speed demon. Top end is high. 2 years of ownership, and only flaws at 130k miles is have to replace serpentine belt and possibly check wheel bearings. Otherwise this car has been solid, and is sound in all driving conditions for weather. Works well in snow, rain, and great a/c if charged. I may keep this car instead of trading it in.

Most reliable car I’ve owned

I have owned my 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix 5 years and put over 92,000 miles on it in that time. It’s just a base model with no supercharger. I have no complaints. Even after all the repairs it’s needed and had done (basic maintenance with aging) it’s never stranded me on the side of the road. I’m currently looking for another GP with lower miles since I know I can depend on these cars. My car has made it through every harsh Michigan winter and multiple cross country road trips with no signs of stopping. Will most definitely be passing down my current GP to my children.

I've had seven Grand Prix over the years you just can't beat them far as reliability the 3800 engine is one of the best V6 Motors that General Motors ever made very stylish and just all around a nice sedan however I had to rebuild the transmission but other than that a okay!

It is a magical, beautiful car that I like very much. It is very very pretty and it flies like the wind. It handles very well on all types of roads.
