GM’s hidden Gem!

Why own a GTO in 2019! I own a 2006 GTO “aka Holden Monaro” why? Because in GTOs comparable class, Mustangs-Camaros-Challengers- dare I say Corvettes are not 20+K better..GTO WILL do everything just as good or even exceed beyond the latest greatest built tech at a fraction of the cost! Thank-you GM for this hidden gem in the performance world that no one seems to know..Add to fraction of cost few minor bolt on full weight 11.9s 1/4mile runs at track:)

Amazing car

I have an '06 6-speed in Spice Red and this is by far one of the nicest cars GM could have offered. The interior is as comfortable as a new Cadillac, and very original. NOTHING on the inside was borrowed from any other US GM cars, since it's Holden. The only problems I've had are the junk stock struts and they're not difficult to replace. Also, it's difficult to get replacement parts since you can only get them Australia, otherwise if you find them here in the US, you'll pay through the nose. It's an absolutely amazing and powerful car, just take care of them!!!

Buy a Ford

Fun to drive good performance for the money. This is my second GM product and would buy a Ford next time. Have had a half dozen Fords and never saw the service department. This my second GM and new the service guy at both dealers on a first name basis. 5- weeks of ownership and already have my 3rd service appointment. Similar experience when I purchased a Cadillac Deville. No major problems but lots of small stuff. It s not the problems so much as the inconvenience. All the trips back and forth to the dealer, being late to work cause you have drop of the car and then having to leave early to pick it up.

If you love HP, you will love this car. It left my AMG55 in the dust!!! My friend just bought a new STI.. NO CONTEST!!! This cars quality and workmanship is one to beat for the price. Sure it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that some luxury cars do, but for the price I am saving on the sticker I can have those things installed, customized, and still beat them on the street and the price. I LOVE THIS CAR!! AND I LOVE DRIVING IT!! IT gets looks wherever I go.. Probably because they hear me coming!!!

2006 GTO first hand

The car starts right up every morning. The drive is kind of bumpy due to the sporty suspension. I love the small block v-8. Runs better when driven hard, like most corvette engines. Dislike the locking mechanism for the door locks. Wont let you lock the doors with out pushing the button. The passenger seat is horribly slow to move forward and back. So getting people or children in the back is not fun. The shifter feels long, and the exhaust note is great at higher rpms. The headlights should have been xenon. The blaupunkt cd player distorts easily with bass. The steering is heavy on fast corners. straight acceleration is phenomenal. Ill never buy another one, but ill keep mine.
