My last driver was a 2002 BMW M3. Is this car as good, NO. But it is 95% as good for 55%(price I paid). This car is the most fun to drive that $32,000 will buy. Handling is about 85% of the M3, but that BMW is the best right?? The ride is better then the M3 and the fit is almost as good. The seats are the best of any GM car. This is a classic GT car, big, heavy, and very fast. If your think that heaven is going around little cones in a parking lot this is not you car. If you like going for one state to the next in comfort, on real roads, not race tracks, in record times (432 mi. in 4hrs and 36mins.) under the radar. This is your car.
not bad at all

i bought the 2004 with incentives and im glad i did , very tightly built , smooth acceleration, love listening to that deep exhaust when just cruising at like 70 , you get to 70 so fast you dont even realize it. if you want a real quick american v8for 34000 you cant beat it . not many cars faster in this price range or less and the interior seats are flawless , you get macnine pedals , you get the whole race car feel and still room in the bac seat for 2 more people , yes unlike the mustang there is room there .

Just picked up this 05 after test driving an 04. Impressive power and comfort all in one package. Exterior looks make it a deceptive speed predator at the traffic lights. Seat slowness does stink but not a big deal when all else adds up to an awesome vehicle build. Blue on Blue is a very sharp look for this vehicle. Looking forward to aftermarket tools for this great mid-life crisis requirement.

This car is by far the best bang for your buck. It has a screaming 400 horse power V8 thats dripping in raw power. It has all the luxuries of a modern sports car with the feel and power of an old school muscle car. This is by far one of the best modern day muscle cars on the market.

This is one of the fastest cars i have ever drove. It rides and handles like a dream. The is only for drivers that have been driving for a while not for a teenager. It has plenty of room front and back and the back seat is very comfy...so give the GTO a drive..and you will buy it...and make sure you drive the 6-speed :o)

I was in the market for a G35 initially, but the performance, style & relative rarity of the GTO was a combination that was hard to beat. I have the red on red M6 with chopped mufflers. I can't tell you how many compliments on the car I have gotten. She's great on long trips as well.

DON'T BELIEVE the reviews in the car rags, I went and looked one over "closely" and test drive it! YOU WILL be impressed! I'm a former Porsche owner (Both 911 and 928S4 so you know I'm spoiled!) and I am throughly impressed with my 2005 "Yellow Jacket" M6 GTO. Vehicle is very tight and drives great.

When looking at new car options I didn't know much about the GTO. I had guessed it was something akin to a Grand Am with a big engine dropped in. Upon test driving it was immediately clear that my preconceptions were completely wrong. More like a BMW 330 with a huge engine... No squeaks or rattles to speak of, tight fitting door and gaps, and of course neck-snapping performance (yes it's fast!). The first car I've ever loved - and you won't know it unless you drive one.
Awesome

This is the best car I've ever owned. I sold my BMW 330i to get this car with no regrets. It's better than an M3. The quality of the interior, the power, handling (with some minor upgrades), and the ability to carry 4 adults in comfort. I've put 20K miles on my car in the last year. I still get over 23 mpg on the highway and put down over 440 HP at the rear wheels (with a few small mods). Plus, you don't see yourself at every stoplight unlike some other "performance" cars.

This is what horsepower is all about. SMOOTH power, clutch & shifter. Wonderful sport seat with high quality gorgeous red leather. I specially like the plain Jane look housing the lion under the hood. Even though I am not too fond of the hood scoops, but who wouldn't welcome more direct fresh air flow to the engine. It gets better MPG than many V-6 out there. Fall in love with this car in one quick drive. Driving slow in this car is a life long skill to master. Don't be a cop magnet !!!

its hard to beleive this power horse is a family car . it has great comfort (my wife is 5ft. 7 and she sat in the back she said she had lots of leg room and was quite comfortable as for my son well he feel asleep in the back, me i feel like im sitting in my living room ) , styling great for long trips and very fast.i own one with the 6 speed and i love driving it . as for price you cannot beat it . i did a comparison with the ford mustang and the dodge charger and the gto came out on top. even gas milage it was out did them both evn with 400hp under the hood . until you drive one youlsee and feel the differance.you just can not beat it.

i've had my gto since july 05 and drive it on weekends and every time i take it out i get more and more impressed with the performance , handling and comfort. it's basically a corvette that you can fit 4 people in comfortably . not to mention with the amount of hp 400 the gas miles is better than the mustang which has 300hp. its really a fun car to drive.

So, i am English with a penchant for American Cars; Compared the G35, the charger and the stang...clear winner was my new GTO. the g35 was average, well appointed but did not make me grin. the charger was made a nice noise, but i really wanted a stick (Duh!) the stang was a dissapointment; same money-ish but not a real contender. consider this....my GTO has a super sound system....but i still have not turned it on, i just drop the windows and listen...my wife has never seen me grin like the chesire cat from alice in wonderland....get on !!

One of the best value for money deals out there. The Pontiac nose detracts from the look of the car when compared to the original supplied by Holden on the Monaro, but all in all a beautiful car that looks significantly better in the skin than in any photo. Brilliant power and terrific handling if you like to take your corners faster than the posted speed. Great brakes, decent shift quality from the 6 speed box. A little heavy at 3700 lbs or so, but that's the price you pay for the creature comforts that come standard with this car. All in all, a great overall package.
Perfect to Me

I only want to say that I am 100% satisfied with my 2005 GTO 6.0 liter. I drove alot of performance cars but always came right back to the GTO. Many don't care for it and that's fine. Everyone is entitled to say what they want. I just plan LOVE my GTO.
Love the car!!!

This car is a sleeper Mustang killer! Couldn't be happier with the 05 GTO! Every time I pass a Mustang (which is pretty much all the time) I can't help but smile. Mostly because my car simply powers by, but also because you don't see GTO's at every corner. I don't want to mod my car to separate it from the others (just search for Mustang mods and see how many returns you get). Sometimes subtle understated makes more of a statement. Loving my GTO!
A white knuckle experience!

This car is nothing but amazing! With it's 400 horses under the hood waiting to go it deffinately has some "get up and go." The best part about the car is nobody has one! I've never seen on the road. It's a sleeper, nobody knows what's under the hood. People point at red lights and ask you about it at the gas station. They recommend premium, so it can be a spendy trip! My buddy had his 2005 GTO up to 156 mph and he said it was still climbing. It handles great around the corners, and is truely a great ride! Don't buy one! So there are less GTO's out there for people to drool on!!!

Got my GTO (6-spd) in June 2005 and enjoy it. It's a comfortable hiway car with a decent ride and maybe the best bucket seats I've found in an American car. Hiway gas mileage is pretty good (25 mpg for me) for a big coupe with a 6.0L V8. In town, it's a hog (12-14 mpg for me), and the ride is more brittle on rough pavement or in City driving. Acceleration is phenomenal, and braking is good for such a heavy car. Handling is acceptable given that this is a 3,800 pd coupe, not a tossabout roadster. Mechanically, the "weakest link" is an awful shifter for the 6- spd, gated way too wide and with a rubbery feel. Conclusion: Go fast in comfort, don't worry too much about gas mileage, & have fun!

I have one of the last Monaros (Pontiac GTO) to be sold in Australia. I am disappointed that this car will no longer be produced in this country as its build quality and muscle car character make it the equal of many cars costing considerably more. I'll save it for my grandchildren so they can appreciate what it was like to drive a car with more than 2 cylinders!

The most enjoyable car I've ever owned. I had muscle cars in the 60's but this is a far stronger machine with the LS2 and 6 speed. I like the fact that the new GTO is rare - not many around (GM probably doesn't think this is a positive). All that and reasonable gas mileage to boot.

The 2005 Pontiac GTO is quite possibly the best built car ever offered by Pontiac--and a worthy successor to the GTO name. Its styling is understated yet aggressive, the fit and finish impeccable, and the performance shames sportscars twice the price. This 'stealth fighter' packs a 400- horsepower 6-litre V8 (the Corvette LS2 married to a Tremec 6-speed)that rockets it from zero to sixty MPH in four and a half seconds. A thoroughly satisfying drive that handles and brakes as well as any domestic and many European sports cars. It leaves Ferraris, BMWs, Mustangs and Porsche Boxsters standing still. The best part is surprising 'exotic' drivers who don't know what it is. The new GTO rocks!

Well, after owning this fine automobile for several months I thought I would share my feelings. Wow, what a car. The build quality is excellent, it feels more like a european luxury car than a typical GM econobox. I realize it costs close to 30K but I still think you are getting tons of quality for the money. I like the interior better than I like the new MB E350 or CLK350. Handling is great for the size and weight involved. After all it is a performance luxury coupe and not a bareboned racecar and yet still puts up great skidpad numbers. For the money you won't find better performance in a new car. For right at 30K dollars you get a 400 hp engine that will pin you to the seat back.

Purchased my 05 Quicksilver GTO in May 2006 with 3200 miles for $25,000. I am really, really pleased with the performance, handling and comfort of this Austailian/Chevrolet/Pontiac automobile and am convinced that a car with similar qualites from Mercedes or BMW or Nissan (M45) or Chevtolet (Corvette or SSR)would cost upwards of $45,000.00 - $60,000.00. I belive that it compares very favorably with the SRT- 8 Charger and 300C SRT-8 which cost arouind $ 10,000 more and can out perform some even more expensove cars. It's a pretty unique and rare vehicle that not many people know about or want but in summary, to drive one is to have to buy one, buy one before they're all gone, trust me.

I've had this 6-speed GTO for only about 600 miles. So far, it is just great. It handles well and accelerates well. The stick shift, while not totally sporty, is fine. Car feels solid. I bought this car because it is beautiful looking to me (it has a quietly strong appearance) and because I did want to get the most power for the money. It being 60% Australian and 90's-looking were not an issue for me. Yes, the trunk is small, the power seats are slow-moving, rear entry is difficult, and this is no mileage king. What the GTO is: a pleasure to drive, a great car for my 60th birthday, and something very special. This car puts a smile on my face. I love to drive again!

I just drove my gto 3,000 miles to florida. Handling through the mountains was awesome, i felt i was in a nascar race, and best of all i got 19-23 mpg. The interior is so comfortable, no stiff legs at the rest area. I love my goat and even had alittle fun against the new mustang on international drive. Thanks pontiac ihad a 68 and always swore i'd by a new one if i could and thanks to you i did and i am lovin it. I also have lot's of pontiac drag racin friends and they could not believe how fast, how nice the engine compartment was (user friendly. And the quality of the workman ship. Though i have one downfall. Quick disconnect, lost one on the way home for trans line. They are gone now!

I did some research before buying this car. I wanted something fast but inexpensive, normally that is an oxymoron when it comes to cars. My prayers were answered when I saw the GTO, I cannot say anything negative about this car at this time. I am truly happy with my purchase. the torque/horsepower is definitely "head pinned to the back of the seat" Fast!!! I am 6ft 2 in and weigh 220 lbs and this car is still roomy, not the comfort of my Expedition, but I have traveled over 300 miles and the ride was nice. I can't wait to add mods.

I searched over 4 months for a new vehicle. Looking at Fords and Chevys. Heard bad reviews for the 2004 GTO. Waited for 2005 for improvements. Searched over a 100 mile radius to find the right dealership. Tested and enjoyed the performance. Same drivetrain as a corvette, for lower price plus it can hold two more people. Held out for the one color that would work. Cyclone Gray, which does not look like gray. Plus I wanted the Sport Appearance Package.

My is a 2005, 6 speed w/18" wheel package. I've owned 80+ cars and yes one of the orininal GTOs (1970 Ram Air III 4 speed) as well as Corvettes, Trans Ams, Z28s & etc... I am very impressed with the new leftover 2005 GTO that I purchased in March. The car is great, powerful, soild, great handling and brakes. I've driven a 2005 Mustang GT 5 speed and was disappointed with the Mustang. The GTO is hands down a better car overall. It does come up short of the Mustang in two areas: #1. Exterior Styling is not quite on the mark. #2. the front seats are not as comfortible as the 05 Mustang GT's are. The lower seat cushion hits me in the back of my leg and feel akward when depressing the clutch.

I've had my GTO for 10 months now. Super reliable, not a problem at all. I do a lot of driving with it and have taken it all the way up to the mountains of North Carolina from Miami and back. Not one issue except for a burned out brake light. The power is amazing. The suspension is taught and sporty but not as razor like as I would like. The trade-off though is a super comfortable ride. If GM could have put some bigger anti-sway bars and stiffened up the springs/shocks/struts just a tad bit...I would be in heaven. Overall, I am very impressed with the GTO inside and out. Sound system is a little weak and there are no dedicated doorlock buttons, but overall I love this car !

The GTO has more power than I'll ever need, and with a partial sports appearence package this one beautiful auto. I'm 99% in love with the GTO with the 1% being poor gas mileage. The EPA rates it at 17 city and 25 highway, but I've been averaging 11 all-around. I have a 6 speed and have driving very moderately as I am still breaking the engine.

The 2005 GTO has finally started to take note of the people hollering about appearance items. I really like the scoops and the split tail pipes. A lot of what they did to the 2005 was available on the 2004 model but as dealer installed options making the cost go up greatly. This year they added these as standard. There are still some dealer available options that really dress up the car, these should be looked into for the fun loving GTO freak in all of us.

I was very happy when GM decided to manufacture another modern day Muscle Car. I had a 68 Impala with a 427 when I was in High School, so when the 05 GTO came out with the 400 HP 6.0 I had to have one. This is the second car I've owned that makes me smile the minute I turn the key. The big 6.0 V8 jumps to life and the low rumble of the dual exhaust starts your adrenaline flowing. The rest is just pure excitement, amazing acceleration, the sound of that V8 and the brakes reel it in with confidence. The car is also quite rare, you only see a few GTOs a year. I am averaging 20 MPG even with a heavy right foot. So if you have a chance to test drive one, do it, you'll buy it.

I remember getting a sneak peek at the "new" 1964 GTO back in the fall of 1963 at the local Pontiac Dealer with my dad. That was thrilling as a 12 year kid. The car was kind of plain but the first thing the dealer talked about was the "389" motor. This 2005 makes me think back to that experience the car, while attractive enough, does not get by on its looks ... its that 6.0 liter 400 HP engine. Having owned many cars from early Z-28 (1968), Corvette, 400 CI Firebird, Tuubo-Coupe Thunderbird, three 5.0 Mustangs (still have 2), that are considered performance cars this may be the best balance. Bought as a GM Certified Used car so far so good. I'm over 6'4" & car is roomy for 2 adults.

Bought new in 05, 19,000 miles now. Dealership was excellent to work with. Service is by different dealer, also excellent experience. No service issues at all, this car is very dependable. Had cam, headers, torque converter, cold air intake and some other upgrades done. Total investment < $38k. Quicker than cars twice the price. I like the 'non-retro' look, it's a Lion in a Lamb suit. I get thumbs up from all other high performance drivers... Vettes, Mustangs, Chargers, BMW M5s, etc. It surprises all of them. The car is a blast to drive on the street or on the track. An awesome package.

I bought my 2005 GTO in March 06 . It had sat on the dealer's lot since the previous July. I got it for invoice plus $3500 cash back, plus $600 more than my trade in was worth. I had the intake, entire exhaust, sway bars, and shocks swapped out for high performance replacements, plus had the ECM modified to take out the 140mph governor. What a car!!! It will melt it's rear tires!! Great seats, excellent forward view. Of course, very fast. I had previously owned a beefed up '69 Road Runner (during the early '70's), and a supercharged '94 Camaro Z28 (during the '90's). This car beats them both, hands down. I'm glad it didn't sell well. The dummies don't know what they missed.

I've had quite a few "Sports Cars" and this new GTO would probably rate the best that I've owned. It has the handling, power and ride of a true sports car, but it has the front seat comfort of a luxury car. The plush soft leather seating compares to my 87' Corvette, but I don't have to crawl into or out of it. The biggest drawback is the $1400.00 GAS GUZZLER TAX. I average about 21 1/2 mpg's with my driving habits. I would also like to see abit more luxury items in the interior, more trunk space. And I would have jumped at a convertable if it was available.

love the car , definitely a wolf in sheeps clothing , the power is strong from idle to 6500 rpm. gm should take note of the superior interior quality of this car. would recommend a better shifter, and a little stiffer suspension, power lock button on console, and homelink. otherwise a 10
Buy it!!!!!!

I get lots of complements on the road."Nice goat" shouted one kid. Another time, a Mustang GT pulled up and the driver asked me what kind of exhaust I had. When I told him it was stock he said "don't change it, it sounds awsome". I'm always getting thumbs up and people checking it out with a big grin on their face.
