in love with GTO. Performance amazing, fit and finish perfect, interior appearance and quality excellent, understated external beauty, gas mileage very good for 400 HP and 400 lb/ft of torque, did need to upgrade stereo. That is my 2006 GTO experience. Do not test drive if you hope to sleep at night without owning one. UPDATE: 2006 Spice Red, purchased new December 2006. love it more now than the day I bought it. tremendous performance, clean sleek timeless styling, very comfortable interior. hope to always have it. UPDATE 2024: Still the same passion, except the car now gets more attention and comments than ever. I guess it is moving into classic status. 18 years old this year.

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!

Nice car, but could be a great car

I have had this car for over a year and love driving it. Even with the problems I have had I would still buy the car again. The passenger door locks do not work occasionally, of course the dealership cannot duplicate. Additionally, there is a constant noise from the drivetrain. The dealership says it is functioning properly. I have owned an E36 M3 and this car almost competes, even considering the problems the dealership cannot fix. For the money, no better car in this market. I considered a low mileage E46 M3 and decided on the GTO due to the price differential.

Best Car Ever

My 2006 Pontiac GTO is my first new car. When I realized they were going to stop making then after 2006, I just had to have one. I ended up driving 6 hours to get the exact car I wanted. I drive the car everyday, and love every minute of it. I love having everyone comment on how much they like the car. This car is a steal at 30k. If you can find a new one buy it, if not get what you can find on the used market. The interior rivals many high end luxury cars, minus a few frills, and will run with just about any sports car. I just wish I could buy another new one when this one is paid off.

2006 the original is still the greatest

After taking a test drive I was hooked to say the least. and after finding the brazen orange color under the spotlight at a local dealer I had to have one. Less than a week later I am the proud owner of a brazen orange 6- speed that gets great fuel mileage and second looks from those not knowing what had just passed them. Getting on the local interstate is just some of the fun when those 400 plus horses are put to the test, the feel of the engines torque really sets you in your seat just proving the power is there, Pontiac sums it up best We Build Excitement (oh just to mention 23 mpg highway/18 around town occasional flogging is my est mpg) having fun
