I purchased an '06 GTO over a year and a half ago and still smile every time I start it up. It is by far the best car that I have ever owned and a blast to drive. The car looks much better in person than in pictures and most people have no idea what it is. The engine sounds great and the acceleration is impressive. The car may have sold better if the styling was more retro and less European but it is nice driving a car that you don't see at every stop light. The seats are very comfortable and the gas mileage is not too bad considering the power under the hood. It has been very reliable and the car can be modded if 400 hp is not enough for you.

Bought my 06 Cyclone gray GTO in march of 07. It now has 20,000 miles on it. And they've been trouble free thus far. This car has a better build quality, inside and out than the domestics seem to have. The performance is first rate. Mine has the 6 speed tranny. This engine has so much midrange power...It flat out hauls.

My GTO Experience

I bought a new 1964 GTO and a new 1967 gto convertible which were both very good cars in handling and performance. However, my new 2006 GTO is so much better in every way that the old GTO's do not compare. The only exception is the body style of the new GTO is not quite as good as it should be for true muscle car style.
What the GTO really is....

What Americans need to know is that the GTO was originally created by Holden (Australia) for Australian drivers tastes, in terms of design. The clean low lines (minus that useless rear wing is what aussies want in a big V8 RWD coupe. Pontiac never had any design input when the car was designed. It is Pontiac marketing people that got it wrong by trying to relive the Good'ol days, not the original designers that got it right! Pontiac insisted on smaller and uglier wheels, the pontiac grill and bonnet nostrils, the add on rear wing and the lack of climate control, all to fit U.S taste and budget contraints. What american buyers must face is that they are buying a Monaro, badged as GTO

Outstanding vehicle; excellent handling, performance above expectations, a huge improvement over original circa 60's GTO's (I had both a 1965 and a new 1968)

i purchased my GTO in june of 06 i was pleased in the comfort of the interior and performace but not blown away. can't get much better for the price range unless you are willing to spend an extra 10 grand on a corvette or mustang shelby GT500

I was informed a few years ago that this was not a Goat—it was a hilarious car. He was right. Excellent value and laughs for the money and if you like it sideways—this is your car. (Turn traction control off first). Or if you like to continuously spin the tires through third gear on the 6 speed manual transmission. (At my age I run out of xxxxs above that). Everything still works in my car. Even the original remote car keys. CD player. Ac. Lights. Electronics. Only mechanical problem in 15 years was the hydraulic slave cylinder—other than mechanic induced problems—choose your mechanics wisely. Never have had a ticket or wreck in this car—choose your glory pedal options wisely also. Rear tires don’t last for some reason.

Could be better

Definitely could be better. The GTO name did not bring out the best in this car, it is more of a tag glued on. Performance is not the best, the exterior has that "Grand Am" feel. On the plus side, the fuel economy is pretty good, though it could be better for the lack of performance.
