Weakness:
Stereo 2005 GTO...what can I say. This is a performance coupe w/ so much more. I am a Mustang guy since the 60's. I was prepared to buy a 2005 GT, but the dealers were too greedy, sending me about to sample the other cars out there. The GTO absolutely floored me. To those who don't know, this is NOT a Pontiac, but a Holden Monaro imported from Australia. It is fast, quiet, comfortable, and refined. The 400hp LS2 motor is a delight. The styling may be a bit bland, but as I get older, this is less important to me. After all, BMW and Mercedes styling is generally pretty bland. And those are the real competitors of this beast. Negatives: standard stereo is awful. Rear seat access is bad...but once you get into those rear seats, they are GREAT! Honest-to-God adults can sit in the back with comfort, UNLIKE the Mustang, 350Z, etc. I challenge anyone to go for a SERIOUS test drive of this car...experience the upscale interior, the POWER, the total package...and make your own decisions. Currently this car is THE BARGAIN in performance vehicles. Enough for someone who has NEVER owned a GM product in 48 yrs to go out and buy one! Similar Products Used: Too many to count! |
