Overview & Reviews
For the 2007 Pontiac G6, there are substantial under-the-skin changes. The GTP version, which is now offered as a coupe or sedan only, is powerful this year, thanks to a new, all-aluminum 3.6-liter V6 with variable valve timing. The engine produces 252 horsepower and is matched to a new six-speed automatic transmission. The engine in last year's GTP, a 3.9-liter V6, is now an upgrade option for the GT trim. Pontiac has also increased the output for the GT's standard 3.5-liter V6 by 23 hp this year (16 hp for convertible models). Other G6 changes for 2007 include expanded availability of side curtain airbags, hydraulic power steering for GT models (versus the former numb-feeling electric power setup) and a couple of new sport- and luxury-themed packages.
- Spacious rear seat, peppy yet fuel-efficient V6 engines, sporty suspension tuning, retractable hardtop in convertible model, available panoramic sunroof in sedan.
- Some low-grade interior plastics, numb electric steering in base sedan, panoramic sunroof eats up rear-seat headroom.

good car - 2007 Pontiac G6
By Stacie - October 1 - 2:56 amIve had the car for just over two years with 38k miles on it and I didnt have to take it into the shop until just before it hit 36k for a minor air conditioning issue and a seat squeak. Took it all the way to Georgia...great gas mileage - about 31 per gallon for those trips. Gas mileage in the city is even better after that trip. Its been a great, reliable car and I moved from the Alero - which was a good car to this.

Best Bang for the Buck - 2007 Pontiac G6
By mrbpmb - September 11 - 11:00 pmBought the base G6 as a third car, to save gas and wear on my 04 Envoy, then pass to my kid in about 5 years. Love the looks, veery roomy inside for a smaller car, especially the rear seat. Performance has been better than I expected from the 4-cyl. The tires arent the best, and the wheel covers are cheap plastic, but they do ride on 16" rims. Many features that are optional or unavailable in a Civic or Corolla are standard here, but I find the manual locks to be an unnecessary complication. You cannot lock/unlock all doors with the key from the outside. I wish I could add keyless remote entry without having to get a package that includes 17" alloys and cruise control.

Love It!! - 2007 Pontiac G6
By amykrazy - July 27 - 7:56 amOverall this is a wonderful convertible. Looks great, lots of power, easy to drive and lots of cool features. The price is right and compared to other hardtop convertibles its the lowest for the stuff you get standard on this car.

Right when they got it right. - 2007 Pontiac G6
By Ryan - July 3 - 2:00 amI have owned my G6 V6 for over 2 years now, I had one item replaced under warranty which was the transmission cooler lines because they started to leak at the fittings. I did have to replace my brakes prematurely but that is mainly because I bought it used with 19,000 km on it and it had sat in the lot for almost a whole year and the rotors got rusty. It drives great, gets good mileage, looks pretty good tinted out with black rims. The stock stereo is amazing except for the lack of an aux. input. One other mechanical issue Im having is my left front strut already needs to be replaced (leaked out) @ 48,000 km. Definitely premature to the 80,000 km recommended replacement. Even so still happy!

I hate it - 2007 Pontiac G6
By Brittney - May 29 - 12:00 amI traded my 06 ford explorer off for a g6 because I started to get too high off mileage on my explorer and I needed something that got better gas mileage. I liked the way it looked on the outside. The inside wasnt bad at first and it drove alright. Within the first month it was in the shop three times for rotors, brake pads and steering column problems. Now, the silver trim is peeling off. It looked cheap on the inside to begin with but now looks even cheaper.

Issues with my Convertible - 2007 Pontiac G6
By pompanoman - May 26 - 6:33 amI bought my G6 GT with the GTP package in May of 07. I love my car but have had few annoying issues with it. First issue, my car started whistling within 8 months of purchase. One entire line of the muffler had to be replace from the engine to the end. I live in Florida, so A/C is a must have. The A/C seems to have a mind on its own and sometimes will not come on, so is the wiper system. I set the wipers on the continuous speed setting and they will go intermittent on me. Last issue, my top wont retract anymore. I bought the car brand new and only have one user, although I love my car, for the price I paid I was expecting more from GM.

Steering Problems - 2007 Pontiac G6
By Jon - May 16 - 10:50 pmI bought the car with 13 miles on it, great car, always started in the cold (-45 degrees f). Then i noticed I had a clunk in the front left. The dealership "never heard anything, and cant see any problems." This was common during turns especially with more that one person in the car, they finally fix it. It was the strut, it wasnt secured right. They secured the strut but the sound was still there, the rack & pinion had to be replaced, twice. The starter went out at about 40,000 miles. 43,000 miles, the clunk now turned into a squeak, it happens even when I get into the car. Im glad I splurged and got the 60mo/100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. The dealer hates me, oh well.

2nd review after 40,000 miles - 2007 Pontiac G6
By Dez - April 27 - 7:16 amDont get me wrong I love this car for some reason mostly cause of the looks! but Im a car guy so I cant ignore the fact that this car is mediocre. Its leaps and bounds better than the grand am, but If you consider other cars in this class it is not on there level in refinement. suspension noise is too pronounced and is a bit underdamped. the car is not agile at all and drives big, although the steering is good. The stock stereo is crap and if you get an aftermaket unit you lose the trip computer big flaw. this car makes too many noises which effects the perception of quality. That said the car is sold it just does its job and nothing more, its like a Gap model with a personality flaw.

Value Leader Package - 2007 Pontiac G6
By m - December 1 - 10:30 amSo far, so good at 2,000 miles. Getting a combined 26 MPG with highway consistently in the 33-34 MPG range. Traded up from a 1999 Civic for more room at a very competitive price without losing too much in mileage performance.
