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.

  G6 GTP Sedan-Great Value - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Richard Myles - August 17 - 12:46 pm

  I had a 2004 Mercedes C320 and even though it was rock solid and handled the road well at high speeds. It was overpriced and a piece of garbage with all sorts of mechanical problems. Total waste of money. I leased an Infinity G 35 Coupe and loved the car. It was fast, beautiful, and fun to drive. The reason why I got rid of it because it was not ingress and egress friendly for babies. G 6 GTP has almost identical performance 0-60 6.2 seconds compared to G35 6.1 seconds. The G 6 GTP Sedan is beautiful inside and out and offers outstanding performance (Faster than the 2004 mustang gt with the 260 horse). I know beacuse I beat them all the time. G6 GTP really changed my views of American cars.

  Florida brings out best and worst - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By jerry clevenger - August 9 - 8:26 pm

  I like the cars responsiveness to the throttle, it is almost intuitive. I like the size of the car in a metro area. My wife drives it most of the time and really looks sporty in the red car with chrome wheels and sunroof open. I dislike the poor visiibility out of the rear window and the difficulty getting into the back seat. It needs a bit more head room back there. There have been absolutely no mechanical problems. The red color makes it hot to touch in the FLorida sun. The car is hot inside when you get into it. It needs heavily tinted windows.

  Absolutely love the car. It is a very good riding car as we take it on all vacation trips. Quiet & exceptionally smooth ride! Highway mileage is normally 35 mpg running 65 mph... Thats nice on trips too.

  G6 GTP Sedan - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By jrusa1 - August 2 - 11:33 am

  Im two weeks into ownership. After driving numerous "sport" sedans, this was the first one to really stir some emotion with me. The engine has really nice pull, and the handling is great! The car is not quite as nicely put together as some of the Japanese and German sedans I drove, but what it lacks in fit and finish perfection it makes up for in style and performance.

  Same problems - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Jae - July 25 - 5:16 am

  I have had my car going on 2 years, and the major thing I have replaced are thee rotors. However, I do hear an popping noise whenever I am turning the steering wheel, and this happened just a couple of months after purchasing it. My car does tend to shake when stopping, I hope its not the tire rod end. The interior paint is already fading. I do like the acceleration of the vehicle, the style, and the appearance. I just wish GM had put more thought into the other qualities of the vehicle.

  2006 Pontiac G6 GTP 6 Speed - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Craig - July 23 - 10:40 pm

  The GTP version is all about power and handling. The hydraulic steering and stiffer suspension give the car a sports car feel. The 6 speed feels similiar like a Trans Am. The leather seats are bolstered to keep you in place while cornering. The gas mileage is pretty good. I have averaged over 25 mpg in mixed driving. Love the 18" wheels and the excellent brakes. This car has personality and that is something you dont get with an Accord or Camry.

  What a Beaut! - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Rebbratt - July 13 - 10:03 pm

  Had the GT for about a week with 300 in and out of city miles. Man, does this thing hum! Great performance with 23+ so far in all conditions. Runs like a top and the guys at Speedway had already put a air wing on the trunk lid. Really turned some heads and I was told by one admirer that it looked like something right out of Italy.

  Love this Car! - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By G6 Lover - June 3 - 3:40 am

  So it was between the G6 and the Mazda3. I wanted a sporty sedan with four doors but with power since I was coming out of a Mustang. The G6 had more zoom-zoom than the Mazda3 and it was roomier with more headspace and legroom. I love the 3.5L enginge, I know I have enough power to handle cutting in and out of LA rush hour traffic. I get a lot of stares on the road and people asking questions at gas stations. I remember when I first rolled into work my co-workers mistook my G6 for a Lexus. I love the bold styling of the outside and the room inside, front and back seat. Trunk space is great as well. I love driving it and my friends always elect me to drive on outings since I have the fun car

  No wonder they stopped making pontiacs - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Brian - May 29 - 9:26 am

  I brought my car to the dealership to get 4 things done. Oil change, replace windshield, fix my back seat b/c it wasnt going down, and fix my break lights. My break lights were reversed. They would always be on and when I hit the breaks they would go off. Really safe. They had my car for over a week and didnt give me a rental. When I got it back 2/4 things were done. They forgot to replace the windshield and never fixed the back seat. A couple months later, the break lights reversed again. Im a school teacher and if 25% of my students were passing Id be fired.

  Gentleman Start Your Engines - 2006 Pontiac G6
  By Deaun - May 20 - 4:06 am

  Although sometimes my auto-start feature will strain my starter out for about 3 seconds, this car is completely great. I have a family but am also a "lead foot" so this car really incorporates what i need in a vehicle along with making it possible to grocery shop or drive around everyone.
