Best.... Car.... Ever.

Wow, what a fun car to drive. Everything from the comfortable and roomy all leather interior to the LS2 engine and exhaust sound is fantastic. In terms of interior roominess, this puts the Mustang to shame (same with the engine and power). 400 HP for $30,000, just try to find more power for a better price, you won't be able to.

The greatest thing is power. First test drive hooked in less than one on ramp to the interstate. Excellent gas mpg 18/23 and with the power you've got this thing is sick. I changed out the stock suspension with the Pedders Street II and the ride quality is about the same but the way it handles through the curves is crazy fun. I cannot tell you how many times I've had looks from people - every stoplight it seems, and even from Lamborghini drivers. If you haven't bought one, and you're still undecided, you better try to find one that has less then 10K on it because once these babies are gone, they'll be talked about years from now, as the car that got away. I've had it for 19 months, 0 shop time.

I bought this car brand new from the dealer in 2007 even though it was a 2006. I love the power, and the looks. I added an aftermarket sunroof (it wasn't an available option). My first time at the drag races in anything worth racing and ran 13 flat in an automatic. Even though I love the car, I would never buy another one. I have had nothing but problems with this one. Current mileage is 14911. Last week a sprag in the transmission went out. A/C broke twice, plastic chromes on console and steering wheel bubble from heat, glove box snapped, makes clicky noises all over that dealership can't fix. Floor mat clips are bad design (replaces 6 times), needs a convertible seat, Blaupunkt stinks!

Comfort with "musclecar" power!

Just bought mine a few weeks ago. The engine is awesome, with a smooth, broad power band that lets you just drive around everyone else without a fuss. If you really open it up then hang on, because the GTO is FAST. The seats are top rate, the interior is very nice with excellent fit and finish. To me the suspension is a good balance of performance and ride comfort. The exterior is a bit bland, the trunk is small and the back seats are hard to get into, but none of that matters to me. Good hwy gas mileage, but uses fuel at a phenomenal rate if you romp on it around town. The GTO makes a very comfortable daily driver thats a blast to drive if you are into raw power.

The GTO is all about the driving experience. Incredible car, comfortable and most handsome interior in class, seats 4. Is a rocket ship with the Corvette LS2. This car has been overlooked by many but is an amazing value.

The car is fun and fast, a real head turner especially in red. Have only had the car for 2 months and so far the car is what i expected of it.

My GTO

I bought my gto about a year ago, I passed the dealership and saw her parked out front so I stopped and decided to look a little closer. As I'm looking at her the salesperson comes out and asked me if I ever drove one. I said no, few minutes later he took a copy of my lic, gave me a dealer plate and tells me come back in like an hour or so. After about 20 mins of driving it I knew I was keeping her. I'm 6 ft3 I thought the car was very roomy for a coupe. And not to mention the power and torque, I missed having a v8. The next day I picked up my new car.

The Best Yet

This has to be my favorite car ever. I do not know how many I have owned but the list includes Mustang GT's, Corvettes, Mercedes 560 SL's, Thunderbirds, etc. This is the ultimate driving machine so far. Outperforms everything else and is comfortable for my 6'3", 275 pound body. I do feel sorry for people that would have to ride in the back seat, but this vehicle was not purchased for them. I have had some initial problems that I believe are attributable to transit involving the front end and strut failure. Only 3000 miles so far so reliability would be slanted heavily by these problems if not properly viewed. Overall, this car is great and has me looking for the next generation.

GTO is an awesome car

I have had this car for 2 weeks now, and I can't wipe the smile off my face every time I sit in the driver's seat. Why more people haven't discovered this car I don't know, but better for me because it's that much more unique. Has undescribable power from the Corvette LS2 V8, great balanced handling, most comfortable seats in any car I have ever owned, good size back seat (better than a mustang), great interior design. GM finally got this car right for 2006 and now they aren't making them anymore. If you are thinking about buying one, just go test drive it. This is your last chance because they stopped making them last month. No wonder this car is an icon in Australia!
