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.

  Overall Nice Car - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By wrestleman125 - December 22 - 7:33 pm

  This car is nice, fun to drive, and very reliable. I have had my G6 for 1 year now and have about 11,000 miles on it and have had absolutely no problems at all. My wife owns a Camry and likes to drive the G6 more then her vehicle. Also if you live somewhere cold I advise you to cough up the couple of dollars and get the remote start... its fantastic.

  G6 is Great - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Laurie - September 25 - 4:20 am

  I have been driving this car for three months and it handles like a dream - good acceleration, responsive steering and road hugging ride. It is a very quiet, comfortable ride. The panoramic roof is a lot of fun - you feel like you are in a convertible. Plus, just opening the sunshade gives you a bright, cheery interior. I highly recommend this car. It is safe and stylish!!

  Bought as an extra car for going to work and some regional travel. The car, according to the CARFAX report, was a former rental company car since made available for consumer purchase. Weve had it for a week since we bought it and I can say we are Very Impressed with the G6.

  G6 GTP Coupe - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Eric W - July 19 - 3:10 am

  The performance on this car is amazing, its 240 hp are extremely underrated. I opted for the automatic because the manual wasnt available at the time of purchase, if I had to buy again Id buy the manual. The interior is great, except people over 6 ft tall will have head room problems in the back. The only downside of this car is fuel economy, I have a hard time getting over 23.5 mpg (another reason to get a manual), although for vacation driving on the highway it will get around 25 mpg if you keep the cruise on. This has been a great vehicle and Id highly recommend it to anyone.

  Great Car - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By hockeygirl4 - July 15 - 3:56 am

  I upgraded to the G6 from a Cavalier, and I absolutely love it! I have the moonroof, 6 disk changer, adjustable pedals, and driver information panel on the stereo panel. Only one problem in the second year Ive had the car, and that is the brake/brake lights. When taking the car out of park and applying the brake, the shifter would lock. Dealership replaced a brake component. Then, the brake lights were engaged when I was driving, and they would disengage when I applied the brake. Dealership replaced the other component that is linked to the brakes. No problems since!

  I Love This Car! - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By JamiLuvsHerG6 - June 19 - 8:43 am

  I love my G6! When I had went looking for cars I was looking for something sporty, but without the gas mileage of a sports car. I got exactly that with the G6 GTP. It has a lot of pickup and go. The sunroof is awesome for nice weather and the sound system is out of this world. The mileage is OK. I would like a little more, but the other benefits outweigh that by far.

  great car for a better price - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By bigmatt87 - June 10 - 5:19 am

  since people that dont know about cars are scared to buy pontiacs, this car is cheap. i got mine with 64k miles and ive put 3k on it. love this car. not great on gas due to gearing but i put an intake on it and it helps. love the handling. its firm but not uncomfortable. engine is amazing other then the electronic throttle...not a fan. i like my throttle cable just fine and didnt see a need for electronic. everything works great and this car is just so pretty.

  Tall? Drive it. - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By TheCryptic - June 8 - 10:06 pm

  I agree with lots of people here. Fit and finish is awesome for the price. Comfort is astounding if you like supportive seats. My wife hates the support bolstering on the front seats, claiming it hurts the back of her legs on exiting, but shes not into "spirited cornering" either. Heres the clincher... I test drove only a couple cars, mostly because I prefer small cars and Im not a small guy. Im 65" and 285lbs. I dont fit into anything else in this price range that is fun to drive (Scion TC, 06 Civic, Mazda3). But I fit in the G6 and have room to grow. The power adjustable height drops the seat far enough down that I have head room even with the regular power sunroof option.

  Great machine - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By dave - June 7 - 4:53 pm

  I have only driven the GT for 3 weeks, am very excited with all aspects of the vehicle. Sound system (monsoon) is superior, seating is similar to my previous Firebird, which is no longer produced. Adjustable pedals a plus, very smooth ride with excellent gas mileage (30mpg) on the interstate. My Fusion orange color turns heads. Plenty of rear seat room.
