05' GTO M6 I originally bought this car because I got tired of "fix-her-up" lemons and Ricky racers. What I didn't expect is to fall in love with it at first site. I'm a gear head at heart and at time I forget to do work the car needs because I don't like to work on it. Not that its hard work or difficult,I just rather be driving. No car has made me feel this way up to now. But I assure you,soon enough I will do plenty of engine mods. For the money I really feel when it comes to used american muscle/sports cars that do everything "well". You really can't find a better car in market,I'm sure of it.

Fast, Comfortable, Reliable.

I have owned my '05 GTO since new, It has a 6 spd man trans & 30k miles on it. I have changed the exhaust system, added a CAI and stereo. The car has not cost me a dime other than gas & oil changes. It has never been to the dealer for a repair, not once. I have had a bit of trouble making back tires last, it's so much fun to drive. On the highway, it's a pleasure to drive. It's very smooth and quiet, it gets 24mpg on the highway and about 15mpg in the city. I average about 17mpg in mostly city driving. These are the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in, they are both 8 way power adj. w/man lumbar adj. There's a lot of rear seat room too, but it's difficult to get in/out of.

This car is a screamer, I put a k/n CAI, and a borla exhaust in my car. Now it sounds great, it sounded good when i first got it, and could lay down some rubber but now i could burn the tires right off if i wanted too (not like i couldn't when it was stock). last year i went on a trip to Colorado and the ride just never gets old its such a comfortable ride i Just love this car. Everybody should have one!!

Coming back from a visit from Afghanistan I wanted a new vehicle. I was debating between three cars. A 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra, 2005 Corvette C-6 or a 2005/06 GTO. The Vette and the GTO offered 400Hp of true aspirated engine. The Cobra offered 390 with the factory Super Charger. The GTO had four seats. Also honestly, how many GTO's do you see compared to the mustang and Vette? My choice was obvious. I needed to put the test on it. I drove it from North Carolina to California and back. No problems the entire trip. When I got back there were some electronic issues. Nothing a few hundred cant fix. I later invested about $10,000 into the engine to make it a real 535 RWHP beast. I love my GTO.

GTO a GO!

My experience with my '05 GTO is one word... AMAZING!!! it is the most fun car I could of ever hoped to own. I am the envy and focal point of the road wherever I go. A stock 400 hp and trq... oh yea... a 6.0 pushrod... 30 lbs lighter than a mustang GT's 4.6... it isnt even a side by side comparison. its faster than the new challenger SRT8, charger, and keeps up with a shelby gt 500 for half the price.the exterior styling is captivating, the interior sporty, comfortable, and bold. the original muscle car was a gto... and the legend lives on!

I really like my GTO. It has lots of power and it sounds great in my ears even with the stock exhaust. I didn't make any modifications to mine, everything is stock. The only technical issues I had so far were a water pump replacement at 40k, engine temp gauge problem (electronic part had to be replaced) at 16k. Looks like I got lucky compared to most of GTO owners. A downside is the poor quality of the car. The shifter is wobbly and not precise, the seam on the rear driver side seat is opening up and about to burst open (nobody ever sits on that seat), the paint on the driverside doorhandle is chipping off (pass. side handle had to be repainted already).

I bought my 2005 GTO in March 06 . It had sat on the dealer's lot since the previous July. I got it for invoice plus $3500 cash back, plus $600 more than my trade in was worth. I had the intake, entire exhaust, sway bars, and shocks swapped out for high performance replacements, plus had the ECM modified to take out the 140mph governor. What a car!!! It will melt it's rear tires!! Great seats, excellent forward view. Of course, very fast. I had previously owned a beefed up '69 Road Runner (during the early '70's), and a supercharged '94 Camaro Z28 (during the '90's). This car beats them both, hands down. I'm glad it didn't sell well. The dummies don't know what they missed.

I had a 99 Mustang Cobra for 2 years & it was great! (320 HP) The GTO puts that to SHAME! yesterday the police called & said I had cows out, I hopped on the freeway & was running 130mph in 4th gear & it wasnt red lined! (still had 5th & 6th to go but traffic was too heavy) The cobra would red line at 128mph in 4th & it was only a five speed! It didnt even have overdrive, 5th gear was a 1:1 ratio. This is the strongest and fastest car I have ever been in! I bought it on 3-13-09 & the original owner was 75 & it only had 16500 miles on it. If you find one that aint ragged out, you will love it! & you cant beat the price for the 400HP!

After my first test drive in this GTO I knew it was going to be mine. I have owned the GTO for approximately 1 year and still can't wait to drive it. With a small investment including a chip, exhaust and intake, this car has truly become a beast. You can drive the GTO to work on a daily basis with no mechanical issues. Caution: all vehicles on the roadway think of the 6.0 GTO as a threat and will attempt to race you, Ferrari, Porsche, Mustang, SRT-8. I get questions about this car at every service shop. If you purchase a GTO be prepared to love your ride, it is a fun beautiful car.

What a surprise the Quality/Fit Finish and Performance that the GTO offers.The Handling is Just as Good as the BMW and Includes a Nice Ride as well. Also had a Mint 2000 Mustang GT 4.6/5 Speed (NO COMPARISON). This Car is an Awesome Value and The Aussies Totally Have Their S-T Together compared to GM Quality Over HERE. Try One. You Will love it!

Bought new in 05, 19,000 miles now. Dealership was excellent to work with. Service is by different dealer, also excellent experience. No service issues at all, this car is very dependable. Had cam, headers, torque converter, cold air intake and some other upgrades done. Total investment < $38k. Quicker than cars twice the price. I like the 'non-retro' look, it's a Lion in a Lamb suit. I get thumbs up from all other high performance drivers... Vettes, Mustangs, Chargers, BMW M5s, etc. It surprises all of them. The car is a blast to drive on the street or on the track. An awesome package.

I've had my Goat (or ROO since it was built in Australia!) for 20 months now. In that time I have put 40,000 miles on it. (I know! It's a LOT but I'm in sales & I like to travel). It's amazingly easy to rack on miles in this car because it is SO much fun to drive! The car is built SO STRONG!! Not a single rattle or anything at 53K. And she kicks the tires just as she did the day I brought 'er home. It is important to note that the reliability of the GTO is fantastic. I have had ZERO[0] problems. It always starts even in the coldest of winter. I can't recommend this car enough. Pure muscle & torque. And I average 25 MPG on the highway in a muscle car!!!! (long trips). Dead serious!

If you like American muscle combined with sophisticated styling and handling, you should have purchased a new GTO. I've had my manual six-speed for three years now and it's been everything I'd hoped. A bonus has been that I don't pass myself coming and going. The car is so rare that people often tell me mine is the first GTO they've seen. It's been trouble free and it's a kick to drive. I wouldn't sell mine but if you can find a used one, I recommend putting yourself in the driver's seat.

I've owned Pontiacs, real Pontiacs, my 1st was a 69 gp. Had a lot of fun in that car at 18 yrs old. Now at 37 yrs old I'm having more fun driving than ever before. The look might be plain Jane but the performance is not. Besides the original gto was an ordinary tempest with a 389 engine, not flashy just powerful. I've driven lots of "performance" cars & this car performs with the best of them all for a $33k out the door price. I miss those old Pontiacs but I wouldn't trade this new one for one of them. They never got 24 mpg hwy with the a/c on at 75 mph, & not to many of them didn't overheat with the a/c on. Don't forget the 400 hp 6.0 that sends the car down the track at about 13.1sec. Awesome car!

I was very happy when GM decided to manufacture another modern day Muscle Car. I had a 68 Impala with a 427 when I was in High School, so when the 05 GTO came out with the 400 HP 6.0 I had to have one. This is the second car I've owned that makes me smile the minute I turn the key. The big 6.0 V8 jumps to life and the low rumble of the dual exhaust starts your adrenaline flowing. The rest is just pure excitement, amazing acceleration, the sound of that V8 and the brakes reel it in with confidence. The car is also quite rare, you only see a few GTOs a year. I am averaging 20 MPG even with a heavy right foot. So if you have a chance to test drive one, do it, you'll buy it.

Excellent Performance Coupe! I had a Trans Am before I got my GTO. The GTO is superior in every way. Performance is top notch, handling is great, ride quality is excellent. Interior trim and design is probably the best GM has ever done. Downsides are very minor, one does not expect fuel economy from a car of this type, however my fuel economy has not been as bad as I had feared. I get around 19 to 21 in a mix of city/highway. That is good for a car with a large V8 and 400 bhp. My personal experience has been wonderful with my GTO and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking into a high-performance coupe.

I remember getting a sneak peek at the "new" 1964 GTO back in the fall of 1963 at the local Pontiac Dealer with my dad. That was thrilling as a 12 year kid. The car was kind of plain but the first thing the dealer talked about was the "389" motor. This 2005 makes me think back to that experience the car, while attractive enough, does not get by on its looks ... its that 6.0 liter 400 HP engine. Having owned many cars from early Z-28 (1968), Corvette, 400 CI Firebird, Tuubo-Coupe Thunderbird, three 5.0 Mustangs (still have 2), that are considered performance cars this may be the best balance. Bought as a GM Certified Used car so far so good. I'm over 6'4" & car is roomy for 2 adults.

Super charged 05 GTO.

I really enjoy driving this car. It is a blast on the track and on the road. It handles very well especially with the right rubber under it. I have super charged the LS2 and it is a beast. The torque and power band is unbelivable. It is a true sleeper as the body style is under stated and there are not many on the road or track. I actually had a guy in a C-5 Corvette that got upset when I passed him and kept pulling ahead of him with 3 people in my car. He could not catch me let alone keep up. This car is the best deal on the market for the package that you get for the price. I have had no problems with it although I only have a little over 13,000 miles on it now. What a car it is!

Since I bought my GTO, I only drive it on nice days. This car has never seen a raindrop! I put on a pro-charger, 3" stainless exhaust, a GMM rip-shifter, and drag-bags to eliminate wheel hop. The car was dyno tested, and produces 512 rear wheel h.p. The only comments I have about my GTO, is that is is scary fast, and an absolute blast to drive.Not to mention, the fastest car on the street!

I was in the market for a G35 initially, but the performance, style & relative rarity of the GTO was a combination that was hard to beat. I have the red on red M6 with chopped mufflers. I can't tell you how many compliments on the car I have gotten. She's great on long trips as well.

Anyone who has ever sat/driven a GTO always comes out praising the car's amazing acceleration, handling, and particularly its interior design. You'd be hard pressed to find a more luxurious inviting interior in a car within this price range. It's smooth enough for daily commutes and long trips, and can hit you with the violence of all 400 Hp at any moment. For half the price you get a Corvette with seating for four (real rear seats by the way, not the child seats other cars like the RX-8 and 350Z have), whats not to love about this car.

When I first test drove the God-like car in the GTO, I fell in love with it. I first looked at what's under the hood..and boy it was beautiful. The engine itself was proably the size of the Goat's trunk..Once I test drove the car, I realized that the pickup was incrediblely fast. The steering was responsive and tight.. However going over bumps knocked the car around a little bit. but how can I complain with 400 horses and 385 torque at a resonable price? I feel like a king driving around in the GTO. Most peoplem have never seen one which is a good thing, its not like a WRX STI or Z. And for those who do. They understand what it's capable of. For those who don't, well they're in for a big suprise

Great car with enormous power and spectacular performance. Can not use tire chains which limits skiing trips. Gasoline mileage is poor but about what expected for a 6 liter high performance engine. Seats are extremely comfortable and interior noise very low at highway speed. Good sound system. Wish it had exterior temperature indicator and mp3 input jack.

I've had my GTO for 10 months now. Super reliable, not a problem at all. I do a lot of driving with it and have taken it all the way up to the mountains of North Carolina from Miami and back. Not one issue except for a burned out brake light. The power is amazing. The suspension is taught and sporty but not as razor like as I would like. The trade-off though is a super comfortable ride. If GM could have put some bigger anti-sway bars and stiffened up the springs/shocks/struts just a tad bit...I would be in heaven. Overall, I am very impressed with the GTO inside and out. Sound system is a little weak and there are no dedicated doorlock buttons, but overall I love this car !

As the title reads, this vehicle will be with me as long as it runs. Sleeper look with raw power. I get pure respect everywhere I go from people who know what this car is. The ones who don't know and test me, soon find out as they fade in my rear view mirror. The interior is amazing, best in its class. It's rare to find a performance vehicle with a nice interior. Very comfy seats with a high quality look and feel. The GTO is a sheer thrill to drive. Beware: If you drive one, you will buy one! Very rare car and hardly see any driving around. Get one while you still can!

Reviewers complain of the small truck well that is our safety regulations which makes it ultra safe for rear end collisions. Also it has a larger tank at 18 gallons which takes up the trunk space.....the Australian version probably has a lot more room in the trunk. Also i got 27.5 mpg with a/c on a trip in the summer. the fuel mileage gage is off by 10% often when i check my mileage the old fashioned way.

reviews forget to add the 18 in wheel options with high performance tires. and the larger PBR brakes on the 05s. I have not seen a magazine review that actually tests one with the higher performance tires/wheels which is certain to improve handling!! Get one before they are gone.

Well, Love the GTO..except that the motor blew at 2800 miles. Pontiac said it was our fault...seems like it uses oil like an old lawnmower. Actually folks, the secret internal memo to Pontiac tells them to warn customers of GTOs to check the oil every 500 miles. And, yes folks, this GTO even with a new motor (and that's a whole other story) burns 1 quart of oil every 500 miles. So check your dipsticks regularly. The big thing now is that there are NO part available for these Holdens. An unfortunate incident left my GTO damaged in the front and it has been in the body shop for 3 MONTHS now while they try and find parts. RIGHT NOW there are NO front struts available for any GTOs in the USA...

The fit and finish on this car is great. The best I've seen on a GM product. The LS2 engine is a dream come true, 400hp right off the lot, and it was $25,000 to $30,000 cheaper than a Corvette. The suspension reminds me of a Bonneville or Park Avenue (to soft). I had Hotchkiss sway bars installed front and rear, plus JBA headers, Borla exhaust, and a K&N intake. This car is performance bargain!

Purchased my 05 Quicksilver GTO in May 2006 with 3200 miles for $25,000. I am really, really pleased with the performance, handling and comfort of this Austailian/Chevrolet/Pontiac automobile and am convinced that a car with similar qualites from Mercedes or BMW or Nissan (M45) or Chevtolet (Corvette or SSR)would cost upwards of $45,000.00 - $60,000.00. I belive that it compares very favorably with the SRT- 8 Charger and 300C SRT-8 which cost arouind $ 10,000 more and can out perform some even more expensove cars. It's a pretty unique and rare vehicle that not many people know about or want but in summary, to drive one is to have to buy one, buy one before they're all gone, trust me.

The most enjoyable car I've ever owned. I had muscle cars in the 60's but this is a far stronger machine with the LS2 and 6 speed. I like the fact that the new GTO is rare - not many around (GM probably doesn't think this is a positive). All that and reasonable gas mileage to boot.

love the car , definitely a wolf in sheeps clothing , the power is strong from idle to 6500 rpm. gm should take note of the superior interior quality of this car. would recommend a better shifter, and a little stiffer suspension, power lock button on console, and homelink. otherwise a 10

My is a 2005, 6 speed w/18" wheel package. I've owned 80+ cars and yes one of the orininal GTOs (1970 Ram Air III 4 speed) as well as Corvettes, Trans Ams, Z28s & etc... I am very impressed with the new leftover 2005 GTO that I purchased in March. The car is great, powerful, soild, great handling and brakes. I've driven a 2005 Mustang GT 5 speed and was disappointed with the Mustang. The GTO is hands down a better car overall. It does come up short of the Mustang in two areas: #1. Exterior Styling is not quite on the mark. #2. the front seats are not as comfortible as the 05 Mustang GT's are. The lower seat cushion hits me in the back of my leg and feel akward when depressing the clutch.

this car is the best car i have ever owned to this point. i am 67 years old but i still have my passion for cars and performance. in high school when everybody was driving fords and chevys i drove a 1950 olds "88". i have always driven performance cars be they two doors, four doors or pickups. in my opinion the GTO is the best i have owned or driven ever.

Got my GTO (6-spd) in June 2005 and enjoy it. It's a comfortable hiway car with a decent ride and maybe the best bucket seats I've found in an American car. Hiway gas mileage is pretty good (25 mpg for me) for a big coupe with a 6.0L V8. In town, it's a hog (12-14 mpg for me), and the ride is more brittle on rough pavement or in City driving. Acceleration is phenomenal, and braking is good for such a heavy car. Handling is acceptable given that this is a 3,800 pd coupe, not a tossabout roadster. Mechanically, the "weakest link" is an awful shifter for the 6- spd, gated way too wide and with a rubbery feel. Conclusion: Go fast in comfort, don't worry too much about gas mileage, & have fun!

Well, after owning this fine automobile for several months I thought I would share my feelings. Wow, what a car. The build quality is excellent, it feels more like a european luxury car than a typical GM econobox. I realize it costs close to 30K but I still think you are getting tons of quality for the money. I like the interior better than I like the new MB E350 or CLK350. Handling is great for the size and weight involved. After all it is a performance luxury coupe and not a bareboned racecar and yet still puts up great skidpad numbers. For the money you won't find better performance in a new car. For right at 30K dollars you get a 400 hp engine that will pin you to the seat back.

I am a car-a-holic, my last 4 were a Lexus, MINI, M-B, and BMW. Always valued handling over horsepower - I never knew what I was missing. Not sure if I can go back. I was glad to find a GM product with some appeal; unfortunately, the lower portion of my rear bumper keeps falling off and dealer states this design defect is not covered under warranty (a unique strategy, car falls apart, blame the customer) cannot imagine being treated this way at Lexus dealership. Car is never fixed the first time and the wait for parts is in terms of months, not weeks or days. Cool car, but not very stylish when the bumper spends more time in my trunk than on the vehicle. There is no viable alternative.

This is the best car I've ever owned. I sold my BMW 330i to get this car with no regrets. It's better than an M3. The quality of the interior, the power, handling (with some minor upgrades), and the ability to carry 4 adults in comfort. I've put 20K miles on my car in the last year. I still get over 23 mpg on the highway and put down over 440 HP at the rear wheels (with a few small mods). Plus, you don't see yourself at every stoplight unlike some other "performance" cars.

I get lots of complements on the road."Nice goat" shouted one kid. Another time, a Mustang GT pulled up and the driver asked me what kind of exhaust I had. When I told him it was stock he said "don't change it, it sounds awsome". I'm always getting thumbs up and people checking it out with a big grin on their face.

This car is by far the best bang for your buck. It has a screaming 400 horse power V8 thats dripping in raw power. It has all the luxuries of a modern sports car with the feel and power of an old school muscle car. This is by far one of the best modern day muscle cars on the market.

Before I picked-up the car, I thought it would be great. After I drove it for just a 100 miles I knew it was great! It gives the "off the line" performance of a 1963 Chevy "409". The handling as good or better than a 1969 Camaro Z28 . And top-end speed that leaves you breathless. I have had trouble with General Motors cars that were built for only those that are beyond middle age. This one is Not. I drove back to Seattle vis Idaho, Nevada, California, & Oregon. The GTO got an average of 24.7 miles to the gallon. Now, that pretty good for a car with 400 HP and the air-conditioning on the entire way. The GTO's interior is just a work of art, all in all its better than a 10

I did some research before buying this car. I wanted something fast but inexpensive, normally that is an oxymoron when it comes to cars. My prayers were answered when I saw the GTO, I cannot say anything negative about this car at this time. I am truly happy with my purchase. the torque/horsepower is definitely "head pinned to the back of the seat" Fast!!! I am 6ft 2 in and weigh 220 lbs and this car is still roomy, not the comfort of my Expedition, but I have traveled over 300 miles and the ride was nice. I can't wait to add mods.

Traded in a 2002 A4 SS Camaro (SLP 335HP) for a 2005 M6 GTO, comparison follows: Engine: GTO. LS2 has noticeable better low-end torque than an LS1, . The LS2s electronic throttle body is responsive to even the slightest of inputs, ultra-smooth power delivery. Exhaust: GTO. True Duals give the GTO a deeper, more menacing tone than the optional SLP cat-back. Suspension: Tie. Much higher ride height and softer suspension in the GTO. The goat has great turn-in feel but not quite the same grip as the SS. The GTOs IRS does well in keeping the rear from skipping during maneuvers in broken pavement. Interior: GTO. No contest.

GTO the way to go.

This thing is bad to the bone! I have owned numerous "fast cars" Buick Grand Nationals, Mustang GT, as well as a 427 powered '67 Chevelle for old school muscle. Nothing comapres to my GTO. The fit and finish are outstanding for $30,000. Oh and did I mention 400 HP? Disappointments are few and far between... Small trunk space, slow seat movement for rear seat ingress. Who cares! I didn't buy it to haul stuff in the trunk or the back seat. Which by the way will fit a 6 foot tall passenger with ease once you do get the front seats out of the way. Pontiac hit a home run with this bad boy. If other car makers followed Pontiac's lead, I'd need a bigger garage!

I've had this 6-speed GTO for only about 600 miles. So far, it is just great. It handles well and accelerates well. The stick shift, while not totally sporty, is fine. Car feels solid. I bought this car because it is beautiful looking to me (it has a quietly strong appearance) and because I did want to get the most power for the money. It being 60% Australian and 90's-looking were not an issue for me. Yes, the trunk is small, the power seats are slow-moving, rear entry is difficult, and this is no mileage king. What the GTO is: a pleasure to drive, a great car for my 60th birthday, and something very special. This car puts a smile on my face. I love to drive again!

I have one of the last Monaros (Pontiac GTO) to be sold in Australia. I am disappointed that this car will no longer be produced in this country as its build quality and muscle car character make it the equal of many cars costing considerably more. I'll save it for my grandchildren so they can appreciate what it was like to drive a car with more than 2 cylinders!

Overall the 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds (I've gotten it to 60 in 4.3 seconds) and the amazing rush of performance every time I step on the gas makes this car an absolute dream! If you want big horsepower, big torque and a big engine then this is the car for you. The interior is extra comfortable (I could sleep in those seats) and the sound that comes from those huge tail pipes is a delight. Handling A+, Ride A+, Performance A+, what more do you want? This is at another level than what it's often compared to, like the Mustang. Don't get me wrong, I like Mustangs (traded in a 2002 Mustang GT for my GTO) but this car is just at another level. It's the best way to get a Vette and save $15,000!

This car is a sleeper Mustang killer! Couldn't be happier with the 05 GTO! Every time I pass a Mustang (which is pretty much all the time) I can't help but smile. Mostly because my car simply powers by, but also because you don't see GTO's at every corner. I don't want to mod my car to separate it from the others (just search for Mustang mods and see how many returns you get). Sometimes subtle understated makes more of a statement. Loving my GTO!

One of the best value for money deals out there. The Pontiac nose detracts from the look of the car when compared to the original supplied by Holden on the Monaro, but all in all a beautiful car that looks significantly better in the skin than in any photo. Brilliant power and terrific handling if you like to take your corners faster than the posted speed. Great brakes, decent shift quality from the 6 speed box. A little heavy at 3700 lbs or so, but that's the price you pay for the creature comforts that come standard with this car. All in all, a great overall package.

I've had my 2005 GTO for almost two months now and added on almost 6000 miles. I have owned two Corvettes, Trans Am WS6, 2002 Camaro SS, and other American Muscle. This car has, by far, been the best of the bunch. The build quality isn't like any other GM car. The car is extremely powerful, but has a lot of weight to tug around. The styling could be a bit more aggressive but its a style you love after being around it and seeing it in person daily. I certainly have plans for it... just need to wait for a Twin Screw for the GTO. =)

From the second that i test drove my GTO at the dealership, I've been in love with it. In the past two years, I've owned a 1998 Trans Am and a C5 Corvette and those are both great cars but I truly think that the overall package of the GTO is better. The quality of the GTO is amazing, I feel like I'm riding in a high end BMW. This car is the perfect combination of style and performance.

It's a great car, performs magnificently and puts "muscle" back into the car business. A normally aspirated engine void of turbo chargers etc. it gets up and goes. A true pleasure to own and drive. With that said, wonder when someone is going to mess up and stop producing the GTO again!

Handling is about 85% of the M3, but that BMW is the best right?? The ride is better then the M3 and the fit is almost as good. The seats are the best of any GM car. This is a classic GT car, big, heavy, and very fast. If your think that heaven is going around little cones in a parking lot this is not you car. If you like going for one state to the next in comfort, on real roads, not race tracks, in record times (432 mi. in 4hrs and 36mins.) under the radar. This is your car.

Sharp!

Just picked up this 05 after test driving an 04. Impressive power and comfort all in one package. Exterior looks make it a deceptive speed predator at the traffic lights. Seat slowness does stink but not a big deal when all else adds up to an awesome vehicle build. Blue on Blue is a very sharp look for this vehicle. Looking forward to aftermarket tools for this great mid-life crisis requirement.

Nothing like doing a 30 mph corner at 80. Had the 1st '64 GTO in Albany. 13 trophies at Glensfalls. Now have the 1st GTO in Littleton. So much more car! GM charcoal grey hood scoops and a black/red/black side accent stripe sets this yellow car off. Did not want yellow, but love it now. I'm getting close to 20 mpg and still having fun. Got 26 on a trip using all the economy tricks with the Tremec and engine rpm. But too much fun to drive. The Aussie's know how to build a car. Tight and stable. At 62, I would like to try the 1/4 with it in stock dress to see if I can better my '64 times. Anyway, a great road car.

For those who are looking for world class speed without paying the exotic price, then look no further. It's just amazing that GM put a 400hp Corvette engine in this vehicle and is selling it for under 35K. Interior, and overall build quality is the best I've seen in a GM vehicle. It even seats four adults in great comfort!

I traded in my 1994 GMC Safari, for this beautiful machine during Mother's Day weekend this May. I love its acceleration, handling and sound. The interior is comfortable, my kids can actually look out the side windows and not just see a "seat" in front of them as they do when they ride in my husband's 1998 Z28 Camaro. Buy a 6 speed, I test drove a used 2004 with an automatic and it just made me hungry for more. What a beautiful classy car that definately can compete with the BMW's and Mercedes' on the road today. "Sleeper" is the best word to describe this car, I've had many a young fellow pull up thinking they had the "guts" to beat me and I left them in the dust everytime.

GTO - Outstanding value & performance

The press has hammered the GTO design from day one. Personally I don't think they get it. In my opinion the GTO exudes American muscle and the same time has an understated Euro look that will hold its visual appeal well into the future. The fact the car is made by Holden in Australia only adds to its value and appeal. The GTO's fit and finish is far better than its American competitors (Mustang GT, Charger) and is equal to Japanese sports coupes I have driven in this price range. Performance on the other hand is no contest. This car will get it done!

I sold my BMW to get this car. I took a bath on the BMW resale, as they do not hold their value (mine had only 34K miles after 5 years!) The GTO has been a fantastic car. I find the styling appeals to me and my family and is, to us, more mature and, say, european rather than screaming "LOOK AT ME" that some others need. I get more than my share of looks from those that know what it is. I replaced the goofy rear spoiler with a more sedate spoiler. I love this car!!

For some reason, the new GTO has been ignored by the reigning car magazines but they're missing a great machine for performance comparisons. The main complaint is the exterior styling when compared to the new Mustang GT. A point missed is that Mustang sells a ton of smaller engined units that look like the GT so owners see themselves coming and going. The GTO doesn't look like a kid's hot rod but it runs like one and its handling is far superior. Its ride and comfort befit a high-end sedan. So, if like me, you were a teenager when the first GTO hit the streets but you'd now feel silly driving a teenager's car, consider the '05 version. You'll get all the storm and fury and feel pretty cool.

This is just an all around amazing car. As much power as any ordinary driver would need. The interior is extremely comfortable and there really IS room for 2 adults in the back, though getting back is the difficult part. I gave fuel economy less than 10 simply because I haven't been able to reach the numbers advertised (perhaps totally my fault). But you don't buy this car looking for fuel economy. Oh and Boo automatic, Yay 6-speed.

I love to drive this vehicle. It has plenty of torque at any speed. Some people complain about the look, but I love it. I test drove the Dodge Charger, the Toyota Avalon, and the BMW 645. The Avalon's acceleration compared to the GTO is like comparing a bycicle to a motorcycle. The Avalon feels sluggish. The BMW has excellent handling, better than the GTO, but performance-wise it is not a stand- out. The Charger is pretty quick and has more room, but it is not nearly as much fun to drive as the GTO (or as quick). Bottom line: I love my GTO.

For the price I paid just under $30,000 there is no other car like it. Better interior and seats than a Dodge Charger and Mustang GTO. Faster than both those cars and may be as fast or faster then my 2000 corvette. But still holds two 6.0 foot adults in the back seat unlike the 2005 mustang. Great car for traveling long distances.

This car is amazing. It is fast, easy to drive, handles great and looks terrific. Lets hope GM keeps the GTO as long as it is worthy of the name. Too often it kills off cars too soon and never allows any brand or model loyalty to develop. This is one car that lives up to its name. It is a true classic right now. Great value for the money. Six speeds, true dual exhausts, classic sound, neck snapping acceleration. I love it !

I have had the car for a little under 2 months now and have had no major problems. There is on fit/finish issue with the interior and the controls for the A/C seem really cheap for a car costing almost $35,000. The only other complaint would be ingress/egress to the rear seats, once your back there it is really comfortable, the hard part is getting into the back to begin with. Also, the power seats work great but they move REALLY slow. Also a compass/temp display in the rearview mirror would be nice, I had an 03 Vue that had one and it cost $10,000. less than my GTO.

If you like Toyota/Nissan or Honda DO NOT buy this vehicle. I had 3 problems with my GTO at only 1300 mies. One and two were with the LSD/Differential making a whining noise, plus when you shift it occasionally, it will make a knocking sound. Three, had to do with the clutch sticking a lot. The LSD/Diff problem apparentally has been around since the Camaro/Firebird days and now affects the GTO too. To have those problems with it at only 1300 miles and for the LSD/Diff problem to have been around in GM for over 10 yrs. It just shows to me that GM has a very poor quality control program. The end result is, I will never buy an American car again.

Not since my 1968 GTO & 1970 muscle cars has driving an affordably priced vehicle been so much fun. Only enhancement wish would be if it were available as a convertible. Stereo speakers/amplifiers could use an upgrade but otherwise this car is so comfortable, even for a tall & big guy that the only other dream wish would be to drive my new "muscle car" on Germany's Autoban.

I found a few details in the body that seemed shoddy or badly painted. Aftermarket parts that were installed by Dealership really don't match paint from factory. The Mirrors have serious problems they have blind spots and are not either big enough or they are placed wrong. The car has some HP however it's missing midrange torque.

The GTO has more power than I'll ever need, and with a partial sports appearence package this one beautiful auto. I'm 99% in love with the GTO with the 1% being poor gas mileage. The EPA rates it at 17 city and 25 highway, but I've been averaging 11 all-around. I have a 6 speed and have driving very moderately as I am still breaking the engine.

Fast, fun to drive, nice comfy interior and still outsmokes a Mustang GT with 1 or 4 occupants. 0-60 is at 4.6 seconds and you won't find that in a Mustang in 2005. It's unique, not many on the road and looks like a Euro sports car rather than an American Boy racer machine. It is not an embarassing car to drive that requires striping, etc to be arrogant or flamboyant and the engine roars just to let you know who is boss.

I searched over 4 months for a new vehicle. Looking at Fords and Chevys. Heard bad reviews for the 2004 GTO. Waited for 2005 for improvements. Searched over a 100 mile radius to find the right dealership. Tested and enjoyed the performance. Same drivetrain as a corvette, for lower price plus it can hold two more people. Held out for the one color that would work. Cyclone Gray, which does not look like gray. Plus I wanted the Sport Appearance Package.

I've had quite a few "Sports Cars" and this new GTO would probably rate the best that I've owned. It has the handling, power and ride of a true sports car, but it has the front seat comfort of a luxury car. The plush soft leather seating compares to my 87' Corvette, but I don't have to crawl into or out of it. The biggest drawback is the $1400.00 GAS GUZZLER TAX. I average about 21 1/2 mpg's with my driving habits. I would also like to see abit more luxury items in the interior, more trunk space. And I would have jumped at a convertable if it was available.

The 2005 Pontiac GTO is quite possibly the best built car ever offered by Pontiac--and a worthy successor to the GTO name. Its styling is understated yet aggressive, the fit and finish impeccable, and the performance shames sportscars twice the price. This 'stealth fighter' packs a 400- horsepower 6-litre V8 (the Corvette LS2 married to a Tremec 6-speed)that rockets it from zero to sixty MPH in four and a half seconds. A thoroughly satisfying drive that handles and brakes as well as any domestic and many European sports cars. It leaves Ferraris, BMWs, Mustangs and Porsche Boxsters standing still. The best part is surprising 'exotic' drivers who don't know what it is. The new GTO rocks!

It's a sleeper, nobody knows what's under the hood. People point at red lights and ask you about it at the gas station. They recommend premium, so it can be a spendy trip! My buddy had his 2005 GTO up to 156 mph and he said it was still climbing. It handles great around the corners, and is truely a great ride! Don't buy one!

When looking at new car options I didn't know much about the GTO. I had guessed it was something akin to a Grand Am with a big engine dropped in. Upon test driving it was immediately clear that my preconceptions were completely wrong. More like a BMW 330 with a huge engine... No squeaks or rattles to speak of, tight fitting door and gaps, and of course neck-snapping performance (yes it's fast!). The first car I've ever loved - and you won't know it unless you drive one.
