| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Great design with aerodynamic flow lines and overall Pontiac "Growl" om the road.
Interior appointments I consider to be elegant and yet a classical American hot rod in every respect.
The fold down rear seats were an unexpected extra which really improves extra space for movement of things too big for the average car.
The V-6 has the "just right" ability to move when called upon and demands constant attention or you just might pass V-1 on the roll (aircraft takeoff term).
Disc brakes are fantastic and extremely dependable. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Insofar as the overall conception I cannot see much room for improvement in performance, controllability or looks in general. 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
A major problem that I have encountered is that my 2006 Grand Prix has a tendency to just stall for no apparent reason, be it at a standstill or in gear on the road. When this occurs I must roll to a complete stop, place the tranny in park, wait a few seconds and it will start right back up. Numerous suggested resolutions have been offered and yet none have resolved the problem. I went as far as having the fuel pump/filter pulled and replaced a electrical relay of sorts (at great expense I might add). The fuel tank had to be lowered as the pump sits on the top side. The results have been marginal at best. The car still has a tendency to stall, but at much longer intervals. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
I love my 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. The exterior is stylish, the interior is very roomy with large trunk space, the seats are comfortable and it provides a smooth ride. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Although the cloth seats are comfortable, they are not very stylish. 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
I was very disappointed when I found out that Pontiac's are being discontinued because this is my 4th leased Pontiac (3 Grand Am's and 1 Grand Prix). Overall, I have been satisfied with all of my Pontiac vehicles and will most likely purchase a new GM vehicle within the next few months since my lease will be expiring soon. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
I thought I liked my GXP, until at 6500 miles, had the rotors resurfaced, at 13,000 miles had new rotors and brakes on both front and back (not covered under warranty - $1200), and at 17,000 miles had left front hub go (not covered - $560) the day before I was turning in the car on my lease. Have had GM and Pontiac for 25 years, will no longer buy any GM product and am so glad they filed for bankruptcy. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Better quality. 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
Stay away. |

Originally I thought this car was a blast from the past with its power and raw throaty sound...I even got used to the incredible torque steer problem. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
But now, almost nearing the end of my lease, I have done three front break jobs, and routers...a brake job on the rear, replaced a spark plug, and both mufflers and now the starter is gone on it...the car has 45thousand miles on it....This was my 7th Pontiac and definitely my last whether they delete the line or not. What a pig. 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
Unimpressed...once again GM cannot make a product that has any quality of life....Good riddance GM....I don't want any of my tax dollars bailing you out...might as well start a fire with my money! |

At 50,000 miles I am now replacing a wheel hub, steering knuckles and tranny lines. These parts should not be worn out already. Boy I wonder why GM has an issue with quality!! No more Pontiac, no problem! |

Don't bother. This car takes my breath away. I also have the greenish blue. People are very excited when they see this color. 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:

Give it a 5th gear and manual auto shifter like the G6 GTP another Rockin Pontiac! 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
I was going to buy the GXP but settled for the GT because I could not find a GPX in anything but White [casper the ghost car-no color!] Was very suprised by the Power of the Supercharged V6. Mine is Metallic Blue-Green very Rare! I really like the combination of Luxury and Performance. You could not kill the 3.8 Generation Three engine if you wanted too. One of the top three V6's of the modern car era. |

I love this car from 2004 - 2007. Each year I find the seats supremely comfortable. Also, I like the steering wheel very much as well as the quick, strong acceleration. Will continue to rent and buy. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
The "blindspot" for the driver on leftside continues yearly. This is a big problem for me, but it is the only one I can find for this model. |

Better interior materials as they are hard to clean and never look even in shine. Back seat is horrible not even as big as a civic. 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
With the rebates offered by pontiac it brings this car into consideration for many who would not. If you can live with the little idiosycrisies then you should be very happy. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Gas mileage, looks and performance. I have over 45,000 miles on my 2005 GP and the worse fillup was about 22 MPG and the best (official test) at over 39, ave approx 26.9. Driving is 50-50 with 25% stop & go. Three times I put over 500 miles on one tank of gas, 2 of those were back to back. Tank holds 17 gal. It handles great, looks great and I think the best kept secret on the road. I love parking next to Honda Accords. Like all my vehicles, I change oil reg. and they give me minimal problems. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Nothing. 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
Just one minor blemish on a near perfect car. One day the gear handle wouldn't allow it to shut completely off. The dealer replaced it within a few hours. Nice job. |

Love car other than minor defects that we have come across that dealerships seem to not be able to fix such. The car acts like it's going to die at times or stall out. We have taken it 6+ times and dealer ship never fixes the problem. |
