2005 Pontiac Grand Prix Review:
Overall, it would be a great car but they need to learn to do recalls on some of the stuff from what I have learned.
A lot of people has had problems with it not wanting it to start and mine is starting to do that now.
My brother and I own one but his was an 04 and we both had problem with the air staying on even when you shut the car off.
The windshield on a lot of them I've heard leaks water through, making water get in on the passenger floor. So a little worried that I have kids and don't need them sick of mold if there is water coming through, because Pontiac don't want to do no recalls on these problems when they should!! If my kids get ill from mold, we are going to have some problems, not good and starting to wonder if I should trade it in for a different car!!

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Engine is excellent at 100,000 miles on the car and it still accelerates aggressively.
Also I love the exhaust noise.
Stereo really bumps in the car.
Comfortable and seats have enough lateral support.
Lots of trunk space.
Also on the exterior of the car. I love the coupe-like roofline.
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Change the headlamps to HID lights.
Improve rear seat leg room a little.
Certain parts on the interior look cheap but yet some look like pretty good plastics.

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.

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.
