This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Huge rear seat, fuel-efficient V6 engines offer ample low-end pull, sporty suspension tuning, power hardtop in convertible model, panoramic sunroof in sedan.
Cons:
  • Cheap interior plastics, numb electric steering, panoramic sunroof eats up rear-seat headroom.

  • Worth The Value! - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    This car is very well built. We drove the Nissan Altima also. The G6 drove better, was quieter, and quality of workmanship was much better. This car is well worth the money

  • Buy something else - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I loved my new G6 the first couple months, then alot of problems happened. First the headlight gasket split leaving moisture in my light. Then I experienced shaking and a knocking noise when braking. Also my sunroof had a leak plus I have a really annoying squeaking noise somewhere around my dash which my dealership still has not fix. So buyer beware!!! I cant believe I traded in my Camaro for this car. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!

  • Pontiac Finally Challenges Competitors - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I have been a GM - particularly Pontiac loyalist for years now. I have owned two. In any event - I think in recent years - GM has made a strong push to make the Pontiac brand a big player that it was in the 80s (Firebird, GrandAm) - and it all starts with the G6. Sharp design, ergonomics, and smooth and crisp ride make this car an excellent overall value for its class. The once dominant Accords, Altimas, and the like - have a real competitor here. Price, fuel economy, and style were factors in my decsion to buy this vehicle - and Im not disappointed so far.

  • I do not like the G6 - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I traded in my 2003 Grand Am GT w/ ram air in for this car and Im very upset that I chose the G6. It does not have enough power, hesitates when the gas pedal is pushed, there are blind spots everywhere on the car and the car has a horrible turning radius. I got the G6 V6 for a reasonable lease price but I am definitely not happy with this car.

  • Awesome Car!!! - 2006 Pontiac G6

    I truly love this car. From being from NJ it was fun to be one of the only G6 Coupe from my area. Everywhere I go I always get compliments! I simply love this car!

  • Cmon Pontiac - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Ive my car for about 10 months and have had many problems with it. A month after having it my car started dying even thought a month earlier a new battery was put in. I ended having to buy a new battery for it. Then in 11/08 the car started making noises. Every time I would accelerate or turn my car to the left. It sounded as if the suspension was about to come apart as still does it today. 5 days ago when I was driving the engine light was lit up and the engine pow reduced light also came up. My MPG reduced from 40 to 15 and my car eventually stalled. I took it into the shop and had it fixed. I drove it home and did it again and is now sitting in my drive way while I figure out what to do

  • Lovin my G6 Hardtop convertible - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Picked up my car on 5/01/06 had been awaiting its arrival since February 2006. I can truly say,"Im loving It". We took it to the mountains in Pennsylvania and to the shore on Long Island. It drives nice, has good Pick up, handles well and drives smooth. The top pops up or down in app 30 seconds and its beautiful to look at!!!!!! Pontiac did a very good job. I almost broght a toyota but I am SO...Happy that I waited until pontiac perfected the G6! It was definitely worth the wait!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Get the GTP if you can swing it. - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Love my new G6 GTP. So glad I did not buy a boring Japanese sedan. Got all options except Onstar. Hugs the road. Lots of power. Sweet exhaust note. Panoramic roof is a must if you want air and sun without hassle of convertible. Nice stereo. Fit and finish is excellent.

  • Great Hardtop - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I have owned several convertibles and I find that this one is the most comfortable and quietest I have ever owned. The hardtop works very smoothly and the interior and exterior styling is excellent. The black exterior with the taupe and black interior works very well together. I dont think you can beat it for the price.
