The G6 is an all-new midsize sedan replacement for the ancient Grand Am.

Pros:
  • Crisp handling, lots of rear-seat room, plenty of standard features, innovative panoramic sunroof.
Cons:
  • A few low-buck interior bits, panoramic sunroof takes away rear-seat headroom, down on power compared to class leaders.

    Ive owned my 2005 Pontiac G6 for 19 months and it has lived up to its billing as a car that is fun, economical, and dependable. If it has one drawback it is that you have to get used to using the side view and side mirrors when backing up because of the "chopped style" design, but I wouldnt trade that away to compromise on its great look.

  • Great Car, Fun to drive!! - 2005 Pontiac G6

    I honestly didnt consider it when i was looking for a new car, but I am sooo glad i got it. I absolutely love it. It handles great on the road, very roomy and comfortable, yet sporty enough to hang with em all. Pontiac did great thinking up this car....

    Ive only owned it a week and I love it. I formally had a Bonneville and I loved that also. There is a lot of head room in the G6, more even than in the Bonniville. Gas mileage is better and it is a smooth riding car. I had my son and son-in-law in the car with me and they are both over 6 feet, they said there was plenty of room.

  • This Is A Must See Vehicle - 2005 Pontiac G6

    Performance is very good - no problem accelerating into rush hour traffic on I-95. Panoramic sunroof is closest thing to a convertible w/o the headaches. Minor wind noise at high speed closed, but dealer fixed - no noise and no leaks. Great styling - classy car. We love it! Its the best car weve had.

  • Ill NEVER buy a Pontiac again. - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Ive driven this car for 5 years, so I know what Im talking about. My car has 70K miles on it, and Ive had more problems with this car than ANY car Ive ever owned. Essentially, everything under the hood has had to be replaced. Today they told me that my transmission is OUT, and I dont push or pull ANYTHING! Electronic steering is out, electrical problems GALORE, brakes are crap and constantly have to be replaced. (keep in mind, all of my miles are HIGHWAY miles ONLY!) I dont speed, dont drive crazy. I can say its definitly pretty to look at and thats it. Even my seats are squeaky, so is the dash. Its horrible. Dont buy this car.

  • I love my 2006 G6 - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    This was the first car in a while that was mine. I wanted a convertible, my wife did not. We settled on the Panoramic sunroof. Wonderful. The feel of a convertible without the intense sun. The auto stick is fun. I average around 27 mpg overall. The red with the chrome wheels sets it off. The leather seats are comfy. The monsoon radio is great, even with all windows down and top open. The A/C is cold and the car is very comfortable. Best of all it is a blast to drive. It is noticed by everyone and just looks sharp

  • like it alot - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I like the g6 very much.I previously owned a grandam that I also liked. But the g6 I have to say is so much nicer. It is so much better on gas, faster,and has alot more room inside,especially the back. lots more leg room and so much more comfort.I notice a big difference in the quietness of the car inside when i am driving.I would buy this car in a second again. Very fun to drive.

  • New Car - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    We bought this car brand new with 12 miles on it, then we had to take it to the dealership twice with a problem of power steering going out, when we told them the doors leaked, they told us they could not help that, it was a problem that would take time due to not having parts. Within the next couple of weeks she got a letter in the mail that said an ignition starter had to be replaced. The car is still a pain in the butt, when its raining the top lights leak the doors leak into the floor board, and currently Im in the market for a new car because, i went to the dealership for the same power steering problem, and now the ABS box is fried. Do not purchase one. Worst decision we made!

  • Great car-reasonable price - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    This is a wonderful car to drive and the price is inexpensive for the quality that you get. It could be easily be compared to a honda accord but it is bigger and more comfortable. If you are looking to purchase a great midsize, it is well worth your time to look at the pontiac g-6.

  • Used 05 Pontiac G6 - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I bought my G6 just 3 days ago. I bought it used I might add and got a really great deal on it. Whomever owned it prior took great care of it. It looks brand new and has 26500 miles on it. I was sad to trade in my beloved Mustang, but as my kids are teens now and my son is almost 6 foot, sadly I had no choice as he was scrunched in the back seat. I also own a 96 Pontiac Sunfire with 145,000 miles on it and still kicking. So I know how good Pontiacs are. They are reliable thats why I bought the G6. It is a sharp looking sedan too and I am thus far glad I bought it, even if it was used. Its got a lot of pep for a sedan which is nice being I owned the Mustang prior. Also handles like a dream
