Hilarious car (2006 GTO)

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.

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.

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
