Cons:
  • A few low-buck interior bits, panoramic sunroof takes away rear-seat headroom, down on power compared to class leaders.

  • New model, great experience - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    This is a new mid size line that we found to be excellent for driving in the city and on freeways. There is more than adequate room and comfort for each passenger and everything for the individual driver is adjustable for his/her comfort, ability to see speedometer and gauges, and pedal reach. Very economical to drive with the assistance of a drivers information center, we are getting 24mpg in city conditions. It handles very well on any road condition we have experienced to date. This car is very well designed and there is no loss of head room in the back seat with the normal sun roof. We are very pleased with the G6 GT.

  • The first 5 years were great, now its falling apart! - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I have had my 2005 Pontiac G6 GT for more than 5 years now and while I loved the car at first, the last year has been less than ideal. Once the odometer passed 80,000 miles, several expensive repairs popped up, and the future doesnt look bright. Searching the web reveals that I am far from alone with these problems; and GMs recent history from the bailout to Pontiacs untimely demise makes it all the more frustrating. While its a nice looking car, and fairly fun to drive, the reliability seems like it will be a serious issue as the car ages, and there are safer, better performing, and more reliable options from the Germans and Japanese...

    I love this new car. You ratings are way too low. I cant understand why it isnt rated higher. I researched all of the imorts before I purchased the G6. With the exception of the Mazda 6, there was nothing close to the G6.

  • I love it - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Awesome Car. Just purchased the G6 GT and cant stop driving it. I was not a fan of GM vehicles after having worked for them for three years, but was really impressed with the design and specs. Test drove the vehicle and loved it, had to purchase it. The vehicle is very roomy, easy to drive, sleek, sexy and the panoramic roof is awesome. My son loves the vehicle and asks to ride in it all the time. Refuses to even get into our other vehicle an Altima. The G6 also handles very well in slippery conditions, had to swerve in the rain because of an animal in the road on a very rainy day, the vehicle handled well and the traction control stopped skidding. Love it

  • Pontiac G6-GT - great car - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    This is a great automobile, considering I only purchased it over a week ago. I previously owned 3 Pontiac Grand-Ams before I purchased this vehicle. The engineering, design, comfort and handling are many steps above the Grand Am, which this automobile replaced. I wouldnt think twice about purchasing this automobile again.

  • Feeling it out - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I got my 2005 g6 last night. Even in this short amount of time I have noticed several things. I am no stranger to gm I had an Aztek before this car and the Aztek was a GREAT car. As far as this g6 goes Ill have to agree with many of you on several things. First being the rattle..When you go over a speed bump it sounds like my tires are going to spin off. It creaks and moans like an old house when driving. Yes, the sunroof is awesome but i just hope it wont leak and that was one of my firsts questions , I was advised that I had nothing to worry about when in fact Im still almost certain Ill have water inside my car.

  • Foreign Engineering or Clone? - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Is the G6 a foreign clone? GM did this one right! Power, comfort, quality control and affordability rolled up in a single vehicle. My G6 consistently exceeds the 32 mpg highway mileage on interstate trips. Lots of interior space and comfort for a vehicle that stickers for under $24K with all the appointments (sunroof, xm, and a V-6).

  • Former Accord Owner - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I had owned a 2002 Honda Accord and was not ahppy with the new design change so decided to look at other makes. I had almost made the decision to go with a Toyota Solara when we stumbled upon the G6, I ended up getting a lot more car for the money, love the 6 cylinder and the best part is it gets better gas mileage than my 4 cylinder Accord did! Fun to drive, lot of get up and go. Only disappointment is they cheaped out on the plastic inside, you can tell its not the quality that Honda makes but for $6000 less I am not complaining, plus I trade every 2-3 years so not worried about it I am always under warranty. LOVE the G6!

  • Love My G6! - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I love my G6! Ive had it for 5 years now. Its at 75,000 miles and has not had any major problems whatsoever! The styling is beautiful, both inside and out! My only minor complaints about the interior are that the leather is fading a bit on the left-side edge of the drivers seat (I must sit extra hard on that side) and some of coloring on the radio dials is starting to fade just a tad. Mechanically speaking, its been a great car! Lately, Ive had an odd sound when braking, got it fixed before brake pads were adjusted or something, but now the noise has returned. But its apparently no cause for concern. Despite these minor flaws, though, its been a great car and is very fun to drive!

  • Competent and looks good. - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    This car flat out looks good, and more importantly looks better than most of the competition, save the Altima. The V6 has good enough power for most use outside of drag racing, and the interior looks a lot better in person than it does in pictures. Handling is good for a midsize sedan, and braking is a non-event, which is a good thing. Seat comfort is very good for long trips with just the right amount of hardness in the seats. Backseat legroom is quite good, and without the panoramic sunroof, most 6 footers wont feel like youre subjecting them to torture in the back seat. The stereo on the GT is fantastic- 8 speakers, and some of the best sound in its class.
