Overview & Reviews

The Pontiac G6 sees a host of changes for the 2006 model year. Starting things off are two new body styles: a two-door coupe and a hardtop convertible. The coupe will be available at the beginning of the model year, while the convertible hits dealer showrooms early in the 2006 calendar year. There are also new trim levels. A four-cylinder base sedan caters to those shoppers on a tighter budget, while a GTP trim increases the G6's performance threshold via the addition of a new 240-hp V6, stability control and an available six-speed manual transmission.

• Huge rear seat, fuel-efficient V6 engines offer ample low-end pull, sporty suspension tuning, power hardtop in convertible model, panoramic sunroof in sedan.

• Cheap interior plastics, numb electric steering, panoramic sunroof eats up rear-seat headroom.

  Excellent Car for the $$ - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Bryan Park - June 4 - 9:43 pm

  I reluctantly bought my Pontiac G6 after my wife talked me into it. I didnt even want to test drive it. It looks like a small car from the outside...its not. Im an above average sized guy (64"), and I fit just fine. In fact, in most other cars I jam the seat all the way to the back. Not in the G6. I actually have to move it forward some. Inside the car is comfortable and somewhat stylish. The car rides amazingly well. Theres only one word to describe it...smooth. It steers well, drives smoothly, and gets over 30 mpg. All in all, this car should rate above every car in its class for its style, comfort and its affordability. Finally, an American car to compete with the Japanese.

  So Far So Good - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Dave - May 19 - 5:20 am

  We bought this used to replace our 2003 Grand Am that I wrote off...the Grand Am had been great by the way. Weve only had the car a week but so far everything seems to be fine. Had to replace a blown daytime running light fuse, maybe cause the previous owner had HID lights put in..uped it to 15 amps. People have commented on the hard plastic cheap feel...the plastic is actually soft if you push on it and nice to the touch, looks much like a BMW 3 series I think. Fit and finish seem fine, love the style and the drive. Steering feels good too despite what others have said. Cant afford import and happy with North American made, too bad Pontiac is no more :-(

  Fantastic - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Bri - April 28 - 12:20 pm

  I love this car. It handles great and I get much better gas mileage than what the dealer and websites all say. I have been averaging about 34miles/gal. The cars design leaves little to be complained about and its very reliable.

  Awesome car for the money - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Eric - March 25 - 4:50 am

  This car is great. The build quality is wonderful. I had an Audi A4 before this and although the G6 is not as nice on the inside, it uses very high quality materials. And of course the G6 costs about $17K less. I recently took a road trip and my highway mpg averaged 32. My mpg around town has been around 25. This car has a lot of creature comforts that I would expect to see on more expensive models. Mine came with a power sunroof, 6-disc CD changer, and power adjustable pedals for around $18K. What a great deal. General Motors should be commended for the great cars they are now making. Theyre on par (if not above for the price) with the rest.

  G6 GTP 6 speed manual - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Dave - February 28 - 3:26 am

  I just purchased a GTP Coupe w/a manual trany. Love the car and the ride, not too crazy about the way the transmission shifts as its a little notchy. The car looks like a Accord and Solaria mated and the off spring took steroids. Im getting approx 23 mph in mixed driving. I just figured out the sweet spot for mileage is between 1500 and 2000 rpm. 2000 rpm in 6th gear will get you 70 mph and 30++ mpg (red line is 6300 rpm). The front seats have a lot headroom even with a sunroof, the headroom in the back is tight (Im 6) for me but the wife fits fine.

  Great on fuel - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Gary - February 20 - 3:43 pm

  Bought this car used with 66,000 miles on it. Averaging 33 mpg on the highway, average speed about 70 mph. Plenty of power for a 4cyl. Reliability? The jury is still out because I have only had the vehicle a short time but so far so good!

  Best Kept Secret - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Mark - February 3 - 1:10 pm

  The Pontiac G6 is Americas best kept secret, based on my experience. It is starting to peeve me whenever I read some smart-aleck journalist who slights it like they seem to do all US-makes, who would likely take the same car, if branded "Honda", and name it car of the year. My experience has been outstanding: Its peppy and stylish and fun and built so that I have had zero problems with it (although, I know, less than 10k miles). It feels great on the road, and people seem to like the looks and are surprised its a Pontiac. I like blowing past Altimas and Camrys because of the horsepower, yet getting as good gas mileage if not better (30+ hwy even with the 6-cyl). Its a good choice.

  A real winner, returning it when the lease was up was very painful. - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By delta125 - January 29 - 3:22 pm

  We had the top of the line G6. The GTP. This car stood out. Everything about it was spectacular, the power, Panoramic sunroof, seats, cabin styling, really showed how Pontiac was building some great cars to really compete and make people happy toward the end of its life. Overall, great car. Worth the money.

  By Marty M. - December 31 - 2:16 pm

  I bought my G6 GT a few months ago, I was going to get a 2001 BMW 540i M Sport with 80k miles Because I wanted something nice, different, something my friends didnt have, a friend who is a Pontiac saleman talked me into test driving the G6 GT, and I was sold, all the options I had with this car blew my mind, XM radio, auto adjustable foot pedals, leather, 6 disc cd, power sunroof, heated seats, lots of truck space, LOTS.. you wouldnt think so with this car, very comfortable ride, front or back, the car makes me think im in a $45,000 nissan 350z there is a lot of value in this car, soooo glad i didnt go BMW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
