Why I love my car
I love my car. It snowed about two weeks ago and I had the opportunity to use the traction control. It worked great. The remote start is also a very nice feature when it is cold. I can stand inside the building at work and start my car.
Tire Problem
My gxp is a fun car to drive in the summer. I live in new england. This car is impossible to drive in the winter because of the performance tires. The car comes with two different size tires, 255/45R 18 front, and 225/50R 18 rear. I have spent hours on the internet to try to find a set of all-season tires. I have also checked with local tire dealers in my home area. So far, I have had no luck at all with this problem. Buyers Beware !!!

Like my old car better
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.
Muscle is Back!
I grew up during the mucsle car era and this car brings it back in a "family 4-door". It is comfortable to drive and the mileage is impressive. But the power of a Pontiac V-8 is the best feature of all. This car is just fun to drive.
Mid-Size Muscle
As a grand Prix fan, I must say that I am impressed with the 2006 GXP. It not only beats its competitors on paper, it beats them on the pavement. Great handling, a true driving machine. This car makes the daily commute a little more pleasurable. One will not be disappointed with this choice, a true head turner.
