The Pontiac Grand Prix is a model that has been around for a long time in the stable of the GM wing responsible for pure driving excitement. The larger of Pontiac's two sedans, the Grand Prix has a nice amount of power to match the smooth comfort of the ride and the strong safety features that provide owners with a calming peace of mind.

There are quite a few new additions to the Grand Prix this year. Standard OnStar assistance and an optional remote starting top the list, but there are more.

The remote starting system operates from the keyfob and is joined as a new option by a navigation system and dual-zone automatic climate control. A CD/MP3 stereo is also newly available, and all models gain rear-seat cupholders as well.

Available Models
The 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix is offered in three models: base, GT and GTP.

The four-door Pontiac Grand Prix sedan is roomy enough to accommodate up to five passengers without cramming them together. It also provides up to 57 cubic feet of cargo space.
