| 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. |

I love everything about my car. I have had it 1 year now. I bought it used in 2009 and wouldn't change it for the world. From looks to overall handling. It's amazing. The best car I have ever owned. I don't plan on ever getting rid of it. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
There isn't anything I would change about my car. 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
I've driven my car back and forth from Michigan to West Virginia. Anyone that has ever ridden in it on one of those trips says they think it is very comfortable and spacious. I treat my car with the utmost respect. |

| 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
More on my 2006 GP which now has 24,000 miles on it.
A.) On*Star had to be replaced.
B.) Dealer replaced rear brakes as the calaper was frozen up which means I was stopping with just my front brakes which was the reason the front rotors were warped (paid for out of pocket for front brake pads and rotors).
C.) Dealer replaced valve seals to try to eliminate the usage of 1 qt. of oil being added every 1,200 or so miles. Told me this was the first step in solving the problem.
D.) Car was towed to dealer today as it had no power and was jerking. Found out mechanic (If you want to call him that) did not seat the plug wires properly after seal job was completed and one came loose. Do you believe that. Just hope he wasn't the one that did my brakes. |

Its engine! It's a blast quick acceleration. All that holds me back from hitting 140 mph is the speed limiter, which one day I will remove.
Sweet looks, a cross of sexy and aggressiveness, that I never get tired of looking at. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
The brakes are grumpy on mine, my Prix was used before with less than 50,000 miles on it. I'm hesitant to fully use the brakes at above 100mph, have to pump them at intervals to slow down. 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
The brakes are the only con for me. Otherwise a bad ass car. GM's a fool, should've canned Buick. |

Love the handling of the car in both dry and snowy conditions. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
After car had about 18,000 miles it started using 1 qt. of oil every 1,250 or so miles, then at approx. 21,000 miles had to have new pads and rotors replaced on the front. Now at approx 23,ooo miles it needs rear pads and rotors. The dealer has stated this is all common and not covered under my extended warranty or basic warranty. I am 62 and have purchased many new cars and never ever have I seen these problems as being common on any cars I have owned. If this is what America builds now days shame on us. I guess if you can't sell cars the next best thing is to make money on repairs. These problems may end my purchasing any American auto in the future. 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
Wife feels very secure and safe while driving. |

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?

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! |

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. |

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. |
