Most Amazing Car EVER
Source: Cars.com

..."This is the fastest car I have ever been in! I would see a couple Mustang GT's and "Rice Burners" racing on the highway and just blow by them for fun.
Great handeling! Amazing acceleration! Have yet to be beat by anyone on the road!"...

Best irrational buy ever
Source: Cars.com

...My only disappointment is limited seating as the long trips don't work for a family of five. My youngest kids are now starting to outgrow the back seats which is a shame because they all love to ride in it. Gas mileage is decent at 18/23 actual. There are more powerful cars out there but none as versatile. It does very well on public roads and on the track without any mods. I have gone to several dealerships looking at trading for a BMW, Corvette, Maserati, GTO, and Vette engined Cadillac. Lovely brand new cars but my wife said I could never trade-in my Porsche and made me sleep on it each...

Last GM I will ever buy.

...I was only paying $20.00 more a month on a gto than I was on a VW gti! For the first week I had the car I would go into the garage every morning and just stare at my car in awe still not able to believe I actully had a 400hp GTO! To make a long story short after ONLY 2 years of owning the car I went though 2 SETS of tires(I dont even race the car), 1 water pump, 4 trips BACK to the dealers to get the door locks fixed, and to top it all off I had to get my whole suspension redone because of excessive tire and sagging rear springs. The dealership said it was just an allighnment issue so I got...

...What other car could you get with 400 horsepower with the ability to carry 4 adults for less than 32K and still get 25 mpg on the highway? None!
It's quirky and was made in Holden, Australia. The seats are amazing and the fit and finish far surpasses anything I've driven from GM...

this car is special

..."Actually the title is quote from Top Gear when they reviewed it. What can one say about a car designed in Europe to handle on the autobahn and then had the Corvette LS2 engine dropped in it?...

Never look back...
Source: Cars.com

..."Everything about this car is spot on. They nailed everything they were aiming for with this car; super powerful engine, luxurious yet sporty interior, incredible handling.
One thing I dont think they were going for, but I dont mind, is the MPG potential.
With the strong 6-speed, Ive gotten over 35mpg on the highway, and thats with a 6.0L V8! Like the title says, I'll NEVER look back."...

...It's very comfortable with the new for 2006 interior. I'm not a young person having been driving for 40 years. I've been a car and motorcycle enthusiast for nearly my whole life. I've owned cars such as a Corvette, a Porsche, and traded in a 2004 GTO on the Mazda6s sports sedan. This has to be the most fun car to drive that I've ever owned! Even my picky adult daughter who wanted another sports coupe bought a 6s identical to ours except for the exterior color after looking at every car in its class. FUN! FUN! FUN!...

Great Car!!!

..."I love this car. To bad it got a bad rap from reviewers.
If this car had a BMW badge it would have got the car of the year; but as a GTO GM car they don't like the modern looks for a GTO.
Too bad it's a great car. I hate to see the price drop so much but it's worth every penny.
Take advantage of the price drops you won't regret it. It's like owning an BMW or Mercedes but faster. Lack of trunk space is my only minus."...
