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.

Pros: What do you like about 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!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Style of the 2006 GP is pretty good.
Seats feel comfortable.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
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!

Everything. I wish I could afford a newer model. Grand Prix mesmerizes me & my wife. Keep up the good work. Pass this on!

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

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
I have the GT model_Love the Generation V Eaton Supercharger-Remote start, heated seats, and dual climate control-The Power Rocks!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
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.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
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.
