CarGurus' Review
The last year of a proposed three-year tryout, the 2006 Pontiac GTO two-door performance coupe offers few alterations. Already packed with a 6.0-liter, 400-hp V8 that gets up to 60 mph in just over 5 seconds, it receives updates to its console, instrument panel revisions, backlit audio controls on the steering wheel, and dark taillights.
Though some appreciate the more sophisticated European lines of the Australian-produced 2006 GTO, others wish it was more reminiscent of its muscle-car heritage. Two hood scoops, dual exhaust tips, and a subtle rear spoiler add a bit of sporty flash to the otherwise unremarkable design. The 2006 GTO comes with few options other than a 6-speed manual in place of the standard 4-speed auto transmission. This is because it's well loaded with power features, leather upholstery and trim, cruise control, and air conditioning. ABS, traction, and front airbags are standard, but it has no side impact airbags. The instrument panel and fabric stitching sport the same color as the exterior.
Power is king in the 2006 Pontiac GTO, and it's why drivers love their car. The car also has solid handling, responsive braking, and quick off-the-line action. Highway mileage is great for its size, though city driving is not so good, and the ride can feel a little rough. Rear passenger room is ample, though hard to access. Engine noise is pleasing to the ear. Downsides include a tiny trunk, no folding seats, and complaints about the sound system and a front strut problem unique to the 2006 GTO. Although no plans were set to build this car beyond 2006, the GTO will supposedly come back with an all-new design for 2008.

“Australian Muscle”
First things first, with a 6 liter LS2, the acceleration is simply ridiculous (0-60 in 4.7) and the sound coming from the dual exhaust is reminiscent of aural sex. The 6 speed is nice, but coming fro... More
“My Review Of My 2006 Gto”
Performance ~ Out of the box I'd have to say the GTO isn't exactly the quickest car. It does make an impressive 400HP/400TQ, but for having a 6.0L V8 I would expect more considering there are smalle... More
“2006 Gto”
If GM had put this kind of quality into all of their cars they wouldn't be in the shape that they are today. The LS2 engine is a torque monster. I love the 6 speed tranny.Though the shifter needs to b... More
“Almost 2 Years With The Ls2 Gto”
Build quality better than typical GM. Still a ways to go in order to hold a candle to my '92 Mercedes with over 250,000 on it, on the original interior, and the back seats on the GTO had to be replac... More
“Awesome 2006 Pontiac Gto!”
This is the car I've been looking for!! I'm always going to love Pontiac, and the GTO is the best looking, fastest, and just a great car. With 400hp, and the LS2, 6.0L engine, not many others can eve... More
“Gto-a Best Kept Secret”
There has been a lot of disinterest in the GTO since it was reintroduced in 2004. They criticized it for its lack of retro styling like the new generation Mustangs. People called it a "Cavalier on s... More

“Realistic Dream Car”
The GTO attracted me with its long list of standard features and the amount you get per dollar. A Corvette drive train, with four seats, and plenty of money to spare? I like the styling that its uniqu... More
“Worth The Aed128ks ....”
Great acceleration, very good handling but bad braking. The building quality sucks, but the spare parts are so cheap and available. I love the look of the car and the red leather interior. this car is... More
“The Great One”
This is by far my most favorite car I've ever owned. I put roughly 20,000 miles on it a year because I just can not stop driving it. I have a few modifications done and currently it has 502 horse powe... More
