Pros: What do you like about 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix?
I love the look, nice sleek body, moon roof is great for cooling down inside car. Love the heated seats!

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Replaced the rack and pinion, and 3 power steering pumps, about $1200. Cheap plastic on the interior, pieces fall off, and dash board lights burn out quickly.

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
Reasonably priced, but with all the troubles, not worth it, would not buy another.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix?
For 200 hp it feels like there is more hp,
the Wide Trac is awesome, it hugs tight turns almost as good as a rwd car,
the exhaust note is good so good I do not want to upgrade to Magnaflow,
4 wheel disc brakes ( yes ),
the body lines,
the front seats are great,
the trunk space is very good,
the speed control stereo volume feature, etc.....

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Make it rwd,
add a performance suspension package,
change the front bumper style,
upgrade the headlights to projector versions,
more hp and torque please,
telescopic steering would be nice,
a sports based gearing transmission,
a turbo charged version would be excellent.

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
I have owned well over 20 cars and so far my Grand Prix GT is the best, this car handles great, gives the impression that it cost more then it did due to the interior. I am adding a turbo kit in the near future to complete a great car that should have been produced.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix?
This is my second GP. I like it's roadability, comfort,and mechanical simplicity. It is very comfortable in town or on road. I'm partial to black so both have been black. In Texas with 100+ days every summer, the "moon" roof is wonderful as it allows the heat to escape well keeping the interior cooler in the parking lot. I added a K&N cold air filter and found my mileage averages 32 mpg on hwy and a little over 24 in town. (I don't have a lead foot)I avg 70mph on hwy so getting there you sometimes get run over by others but I get there in grand Prix style!!

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix?
The interior has digressed!! No glove box space to brag on, small back seat, hard to see out of in back seat, Plastics used that don't clean properly and look cheap. Instrumentation is really good except I miss the old analog odometer. Again, the plastics used in interior seem pretty Daewoo!

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
Overall, I'm very pleased and glad I purchased another one, even if it was used. I almost bought a Nissan 350Z and am glad I didn't. My buddy did and is sorry!!

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix?
I love the sporty feel and yet having the room with four doors. Love my car.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix?
I would do something about the transmissions. I have a little over 12,000 miles on it and it is not quite 2 years old and it is having transmission problems

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
Overall I truly like the grand prix but am wondering if I can trust it.
