I need to know if this 2006 Pontiac grand prix is awesome. or it has mechanical problems? The reason is i want to buy this car. So any advice would be helpful!!
What consumer reports has to say: The Grand Prix is a mediocre sedan. Its ride, level of refinement, and rear-seat comfort isn't competitive. The 3.8-liter, 200-hp V6 in our test car was responsive but rough and noisy. The GT model features a supercharged 3.8-liter, 260-hp V6. The GXP has an even more powerful V8 that shuts off four cylinders when cruising. The ride is very stiff and braking is only adequate. The coupe-like styling limits visibility and access. The low roofline limits head room. The rear seats are very cramped and lack thigh support. Reliability of all versions has been average of late.
For the most part the 2006 model seems to do ok on all tests, lot of grades in the Very good to Excellent range. Transmission and electrical were only good.
Earlier models faired very poor, but starting in 2004, the scores were on the upward!!
My sister has a 2005, bought it used and they have had nothing but problems with the electrical side!! Cheers
we have owned 4 GP's in the last 6yrs. we like them. It should have a warranty for being 1yr old. In 3 yrs it will be worth 1/2 what you payed, if your lucky. what age car do you have now? are you used to fixing an older car or do you have a newer car with a warranty now?
