2006 GTO - Bad struts!!!!!

2006 Pontiac GTO 2dr Coupe (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

I am soured today because my GTO has 730 miles on it and the left front has blown out for the second time. Each time strut oil is flung all over the place, melting the undercoating creating a goo that is difficult to cleanup. Look on www.nhtsa.dot.gov to witness the 55+ entries for this problem alone. Pontiac also doesn't appear to be too concerned about this problem as well. I get tons of lip service from their customer support but overall it is what we all know and expect as GM. I am very saddened by this as I want GM the biggest and baddest. Well... to my chagrin the latter is true. My wifes Odyssey certainly looks like the better of the two purchases.

I love my GTO. I've owned it since 1/06 w/o any problems, never been back to the dealer. I like the styling. This is 2006 not 1966. The 2006 GTO can compete with the German and Japanese imports with interior & exterior styling,quality and price. What the imports don't have is an LS2 400/400 engine. No comparison. I looked at Mustangs but interior was too plasticy and a little tight. I'm 6'4 200 and sit very compfortably in my GTO. I like having a unique car. Fords sells over 200,000 Mustangs/yr. Less than 15,000 GTO's /yr. Some people have complained about the GTO's styling but it's 2006, not 1966. Mustangs retro look is good. But don't take anything away from the GTOs modern look.

Absolutely love to drive this car. Punch the gas pedal and feel the smile on your face grow. The interior definitely was a pleasant surprise over other GM cars. The leg room in the back seats very surprising. 2 adults can sit comfortably in back. Getting into the backseats can be a bit of a pain but once back their its all good.

The way the car drives even at slow speeds it great. Most people have no idea what it is at first then the original GTO folks all of a sudden do not care for it.. The aussies did a fine job on the car only gripe is going from a z28 to GTO is the seat does not go low enough but i am fine with it now. The more new style muscle cars the big 3 build the better//

So far so good. No real problems. A couple of defects upon purchase. But nothing crazy or unable to be repaired by myself. 4500 miles and nothing has changed. I know its not a lot of miles. But I haven't had it long enought to foget those problems i might have had in the beginning.. which happen to be none in this case. the styling is the styling.. think of it what you will. I think its very euro GT. Gets great mileage for the engine class, but thats not really an excuse for running an average of 20 mpg back and forth to work.

The GTO is an excellent example of a classic muscle car (classic being mid- sixties rather than early 70's)...conservative ("sleeper" rather than "boy racer") exterior styling, jaw dropping power, and almost European handling characteristics. The ride is comfortable and compliant with relatively little body lean while having fun.

I have a 6spd manual Spice Red Metallic with the black interior. It was love at first drive. I grew up riding in my uncle's 1968 GTO so when Pontiac came out with this car I knew that some day I had to own one. The torque of the LS2 is something you cannot describe accurately with words and the 6 spd makes it even more blissful. The suspension is adequate but you won't be winning any autocross meets anytime soon. Contrary to what some people may think as far as styling is concerned, the original GTO was nothing more than a dressed up Tempest with a bigger engine so I don't see the big deal with purists wanting a retro looking Goat.

I have had my 2006 GTO for all of two days now. I took the day off work to just drive it around. I had a blast with it and plan on having many more days just like today. I recently sold a 1971 Oldsmobile 442 with a slightly built Olds 455. I restored the car and it was my baby. When I found myself in the market for a new car I needed one with power. I found out the Challenger if coming out with a 5.7L and was turned off by the thought of the price for the upgrade when it becomes available. I tested the Mustang GT and the GTO and immediately knew the GTO was the better of the two. Considering where the market is going, the exterior styling could be better, but I still love the looks.

I love this car. Owned a supercharged Cobalt before this and the power in the GTO is so great over the latter. I have recently added an 80 mm turbo amongst other things and am running at a cool 1011 hp off the dyno. I loved this car stock and love it even more with the additions.

When I went to a quarter mile track near where I live and I heard and saw one of these beautiful sleepers go down the track, I had to have one. Luckily only 2 months later there was a beautiful Cyclone grey one in mint condition ( you could eat off the engine) sitting in my garage. I have loved getting up every morning since knowing that I get to drive it every day. It's powerful, comfortable and the most fun automobile I have ever owned. I cannot stop smiling every time I get behind the wheel. What an awesome car!

After reading some of the other reviews, other purchasers seem to want a luxury car with high performance and 30 MPG. NOT !! The now departing 2006 GTO will be a collector's car soon enough, I'd highly recommend begging, borrowing, or stealing the $$ to buy one. The dealer I bought from in Arizona had TEN GTOs for sale - I had the pick of the litter. Sold at INVOICE $$, this dealer simply wanted to unload his inventory...advantage ME. NO VEHICLE currently made will give you the wide swath of luxury and performance this car will. Just drive one. 400 HP, great driving position and non-descript exterior will keep the idiots wondering what the hell just flew past. BUY ONE.

I have owned my new 2006 GTO for a week now and I can honestly say it is the the most fun car to drive that I've ever had. The acceleration is unbelievable for a four seat coupe. I am one of the few I guess that actually likes the exterior design. Let's face it, the original GTOs were not exactly ground breaking in exterior design, but who cared? You buy a GTO for one reason, performance!! Luckily, though, this car offers so much more! The interior is awesome and comfortable. The stereo is very nice. The programmable dash is great as well. The day after I bought mine I had performance mufflers installed and they just make this thing roar!!!! Do yourself a favor, get a GTO!!!!!!

Bought this beast in Mar 06 n then I wrote a review in Dec 06. Since then, I've had a baby and because of the almost impossible feat to get into the backseat (esp holding a newborn) I was forced to sell it. I can't say enough about this car. I'm still unable to find the words to explain how awesome it is. Thick, solid, muscular, fast, sexy, sleek, smooth, low key but at the same time eye catching. Unbelievable

I saved up a long time to purchase this vehicle. It was well worth the wait. For the money, it is an excellent purchase with loads of power and performance. It is difficult to go into the house once I get home. If you don't own one and are considering it, then hurry to your local dealership and make the deal.

I have owned 3 GTO's....1968,1969,and a 1970. I have owned the 70 since 1979. My son and I are rebuilding the 70 from the frame up. This will take several years and I need horsepower!! When I first saw the 2004 GTO, I was upset! It was missing all the markings of a GTO (single exhaust,no hood scoops,etc..etc.)When I saw the 2006,I test drove it. What a ride!! I love this car!! Please don't tell my 70. The build is perfect. No flaws,tight fit,comfortable, FAST and gas mileage!! I chose the automatic and it shifts perfectly and matches the engine's output no matter what the throttle position. I can't believe they stopped making it! The best way to describe the car is a 4 seat corvette!! GO GTO

Okay, so the Monero didn't make it in the U.S. market. Under any other name, it would have been a hit, especially if the price had been competitive with the Mustang GT. Purists didn't like the exterior, non-muscle car styling, so the GTO died after '06. Those of us who own a modern GTO know the truth: this is one of the fastest sleeper cars ever built. The 400 HP V8 sets the Goat on its haunches with a toe-twitch. It handles superbly and the stiff feel of the steering wheel is a huge improvement over the numb and the mundane. Forget the Mustang GT. Forget the Charger RT or SRT8. None of those three muscle cars can touch the all- round performance, handling and power of the '06 GTO.

The day I received this car all I had was a smile on my face, I love the brazen orange paint, the crazy torque the comfortable seats and the launch oh my god, faster than all the sports cars that I have own, and I had some good ones, and IROC-Z, Mustang GT, Buick Grand National this thing smokes them all I do have some performance parts such as eibach springs, koni shocks, subframe connectors, alum- driveshaft bmr axels and stubs headers, supercharger, comp cam and magnaflow exhaust. But the thing I like the most is that you don't see them all over the road. I'll keep it until the wheels fall off.

What more can you say? 400 HP. Quiet, smooth ride, handles good and can take off like a rocket in a heartbeat. Sure the y could have done more with the appearance but that's what makes this car such a good package. Yeah some people may have bought a bad one and come on here and rip the car, but you'll have that with any model. Take it for a spin, you won't be disappointed. I sure wasn't.

Wonderfull performing handling and looking modern performance car.This car is quiet smooth quik and solid.Im 50 yrs old and this is only my second new car, it takes a lot to get my attention but this car did.I bought it without even test driving it i knew i would not be disapointed and it was better than i expected.I have owned several muscle cars including a 70 chevelle convertible with a 540 bbc in it that i still have.The old cars are great but this 06 GTO is by far the best all around performance car that i have owned.A corvette driveline with a different body on it for under 30k thats hard if not impossible to beat.

I have owned 6 GTOs over the years (1965-1971) and I was sceptical when I first drove the 2006 version but after only a short distance I could tell that this car was NOT a 60's musclecar it was better...more power and torque better brakes and superior handling The build quality of this GTO is superb and the interior is the nicest I have seen in all the cars I test drove (Mustang GT ,Mazda RX8, Dodge Charger) I seriously doubt you could get a better car in the 30K range with its 400hp,6 spd trans and independent rear This car is a pure blast to drive and not every boyracer in town has one
Better than the Mustang

Whether driving in the city, on the highway, or on rural roads, you know you're going to have a smooth ride. Waiting at the line of a red light always makes you feel uneasy with all the looks you'll get-ranging from a thumbs up, or another hand gesture. It was raining heavily one day, and I was driving home. Upon turning a 90 degree turn to get on the on ramp of I- 5, the car started to lose traction. Luckily the TC kicked in, and stopped my wheels from spinning giving me the ability to turn out from nearly smacking into a barrier. The car has been great for getting me to school, and the Dragstrip uptown. Only complaints from passengers comes from the 5th man-only 3 passanger seats+driver

I have driven 3 suped up mustangs during the 90's, I have driven many other fast cars as well, this is by far the beefiest damn car I have driven by far, and for $31,500 (my purchase price) who can beat it? I can stay up with all those fancy European sport cars for half the price. The only thing I would change is the exterior styling could be a bit more refined. The interior is gorgeous and comfortable. This is my household's 3rd vehicle, so I don't need to much trunk space, I purchased this to commute to work with on nice days and for performance, period, all without taking out a second mortgage.
It's awesome

Living in one of the most traffic congested in the country, I have forgotten what it's like to have fun while driving until I purchased my Goat. This car is a true sleeper. It doesn't look like a muscle car but surprise. I have raced a stock 06 Vette, Charger SRT8, and numerous Mustangs and none of them can get me off the line. All the power you ever wanted is one mash of the gas pedal away.

Well I kept the car for a little while and it was a good experience. I wouldn't buy it again though due to the following reasons. 1) the car has no steering feel and it doesn't communicate with you at all so you cant drive with precision 2) the back seat has a lot of room but getting in and out is big problem and trust me it is. 3) Resale values are horrible but I didnt look at this when I bough it brand new. 4) Moding can be expensive and there are some mods you need right away like shifter and springs and shocks/ struts. Better tires. Acceleration is great and so far it's faster in STRAIGHT LINE than these: 350z, evo,mustang, srt8,E46 M3, Speed6, S4,C55 AMG. It's a lot of car for the money

This car is simply amazing. 400 hp and for 30k. There simply is not a vehicle that can come as close. My salesmen said that the car is made in Australia and I am starting to wish I lived in the land down under. The car purrs at idle and growls as you go through the gears. The interior is something you would never expect from a Domestic car. Absolutely perfect car.

I purchased my GTO in August 2007. Coming from a supercharged 2000 Honda Accord EX V6, this car's performance really blows me away. I'm still afraid to go full throttle with the traction control turned off. My only complaints are that the interior lighting would have been much better if it were red like the rest of of current day Pontiacs, instead of the green that it is, and that they put wider wheels and tires in the rear. It's just too easy to break traction by depressing the throttle a bit. But for the price of the car, you just can't get as much power and comfort. I love it when people stop and stare at her. I don't know what critics are talking about when they say GTOs don't look good.

What a fun car to drive. I wanted a daily driver with some kick. Have had all the BMW's,Mercedes,Audi's etc.... This car is power (400HP). Its just a great, comfortable car. I would rate it 10 in everything except gas milage (of course), I drive it 70 miles a day and its a pleasure. Has a great engine rumble to it. Stereo is pretty good, I do miss a compass and outside temp (loking to buy aftermarket rear view mirror that has it built in). To sum it all up, this car makes driving what it should be FUN! Plus there are loads of aftermarket goodies to buy. Go get one a have the next american classic. Sorry to see Pontiac saying goodbye to this rocket.

2 weeks from purchase my daughter drove the car to later find that she couldn't drive the car because it was making a very loud noise on the passenger side. of course we scream and question if she did something to the car. of course not . We found that the strut was defective we figure ok is a defective strut no big deal. The car started making the same noise on the left over the weekend of course is going in tomorrow for another strut I told the dealer to check the other 3 struts but they said they don't have anyting from the manufacture for a recall. a little frustration having a new car

I bought the '06, but I wanted one without those ridiculous "nostrils" in the hood. GM says no. Straight line fun all day and all night, gotta love that. I can only assume other reveiwers praising handling have never driven a car that handles. My wife's VW GTI runs rings around this on any corner and my old Subaru STI would embarass it on any road circuit. I love the noise, I love the power, but I'll be spending a lot of money upgrading the suspension using GM Europe parts, adding sat nav and upgrading the stereo. I like the simple styling and, once I get my 2004 hood (no fake nostrils), I think this will be the finest looking coupe on the road.

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!

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.
Get back to where you once belonged GM!

Prior to owning my 2005 GTO I owned an 04 model, until a jackass in a pickup truck crossed the center line of the road and hit me head on. The fact that I walked away with only minor injuries is a testamonial to the quality of the car and the integrity of the design. The styling doesn't meet with the approval of some people, but I find it very appealing. The GTO gets plenty of respect at the stoplight, especially from Mustang drivers who know better !!!
I love it

Was at the dealership with a friend and was talked into test driving an 06 GTO I really wasn't planning on purchasing one but wow!!!!2 hours later I was home with a brand spanking new Brazen Orange GTO This car is awesome, much faster than the 05 Mustang I just sold, it's hard to believe its only 100 hp more because it seriously feels like twice the power and the interior is way better So far the car has been perfect in every way

Holden chassis is excellent, great 400HP power with 6 speed and IRS. What else do you need?
Fun to drive

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.

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.

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!
