2005 Pontiac Grand Prix

Pros: Power, Trunk storage, Sound system

Cons: Low milage, Visibility

The Bottom Line: I would buy it again

Review: I have been waiting for Pontiac to release this vehicle for several months now. I traded in my 1998 OLDS LSS for the GXP. I found very limited availability of the GXP in Chicago. I managed to purchase mine for ~1000 under the sticker price. In the ...

Pros: base model is sporty, comfortable, and makes you fall in love with it

Cons: A/C brings in smells sometimes, recirculating A/C not automatically on

The Bottom Line: Amazing car, really fun to drive, and makes you feel cool driving it. Much better than boring looking sedans.

Review: I drove a black on gray cloth 2005 Grand Prix (base model minus Onstar) as a rent car for a few days. I have to say this car was a joy to drive. It had extremely comfortable seats, a great instrument layout, a very sporty feel to it, and incredible looks ...

Pros: Power, Great Mileage, Sound Proofing, Ride quality, Steering, In class with Chrysler 300 series.

Cons: Associating the Accord as being in the same 'class' as the Grand Prix

The Bottom Line: Highly highly recommended. The car is so quiet, fuel efficient, fast, and affordable. Don't even place an Accord or Altima even close to this car.

Review: I have spent some time in a Dodge Magnum, Honda Accord, and Pontiac Grand Prix. I decided easily on the Pontiac Grand Prix. I will admit the Magnum *is* a bit better of a car but, but the lease rates just aren't competitive because in the end buying a ...

Pros: nice options, sporty looking

Cons: the hump on the outside edge of the seat

Review: Since we have kids that are becoming of age to drive we decided to pass down our 96 grand prix and 99 grand am and buy a new 2005 grand prix. We are so far very happy with it, alot of new technology is in it. We have the heads up display which makes it ...

Pros: Big torque, TAPshift, front seats, big rebates

Cons: Difficulty getting power to the pavement, needs more gears, rear seat

The Bottom Line: A lot of car for $27,000. Fun, but also deeply flawed, and definitely not for everyone.

Review: Just a few months ago GM seemed well on its way to countering Chrysler's successful 300C with a bevy of its own V8-powered rear-wheel-drive sedans. Then it announced that the North American portion of its zeta program had been shelved, ostensibly to free ...

Pros: Sporty appearance, powerful ride, spacious trunk

Cons: Poorly designed glove box, could have more interior storage pockets and areas

The Bottom Line: Great for former high school "drag racers" who now carry Balmex and baby wipes as standard gear.

Review: So, here I am... 31 years old, happily married, and the proud father of a 3-month-old baby boy. Suddenly, my 1999 Hyundai Sonata decides life is no longer worth living and seizes up, leaving me in desperate need of new transportation. Initially, I ...

Pros: Decent gas mileage, solid mechanically, huge trunk

Cons: Factory tires are worthless.

The Bottom Line: For a good, solid vehicle, choose this car. It won't leave you stranded and has a lot of nice features.

Review: I bought this car brand new. It drove really well for about 6 months, and then something sporadic went wrong with the right rear wheel. It was also already out of alignment! The computer in the right rear was malfunctioning- no problem. Realignment ...

Pros: Great handling, driver-friendly controls, great pick-up

Cons: Moderate road noise, eats gas, cheap plastic interior

The Bottom Line: This is a driver's car! I recommend.

Review: I bought a used GT version in December 2006, with 14,000 mi on it. I am not a technical reviewer, so, I will just describe my experience so far. STYLING: The exterior is stylish. Mine has the duel chrome exhaust, spoiler, fog lights, and power ...

Pros: Acceleration, comfort, reliability, front-seat comfort

Cons: Interior materials, Monsoon sound system

The Bottom Line: GM is moving in the right direction with this model as compared to models of years past. I am satisfied with my purchase.

Review: The 2005 Grand Prix GTP is essentially the new body style built on the foundation of the last generation Grand Prix. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the last generation had a lot of things going for it. Comfort, room, power, and reliability. ...

Pros: Moderate comfort and moderate performance in a sort of bland family sedan

Cons: It's a Pontiac

The Bottom Line: -

Review: A second chance for an old foe I've had an opportunity to drive the 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix recently. My own car was at the dealership (again) and I was given a base model Grand Prix with under 500 miles on the clock for the day. ...
