This Year's Model Updates:

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.

  • My G6 - 2005 Pontiac G6

    This car is exactly what I was looking for after Oldsmobile went out of existence. I also looked at the Nissan Altima, but there was no comparison. The G6 had it beat by miles in style, comfort, and features.

  • Totally awesome! - 2005 Pontiac G6

    I bought this car last night, and I am nothing but impressed. I saw a commercial for it, and I had to have one. I traded a truck and was afraid of losing space, but I did not lose a thing! This car handles great and is so much fun to drive!

  • Best car weve owned - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    this is with out a doubt the best car weve owned. my wife wanted a nissan altima but i looked at both and thought overall the g6 offered the most bang for the buck. my wife liked it also but thought that because she didnt see that many out on the road meant it wasnt a good car. i explained that this model hadnt been out very long. i finally rented an altima for her to see how she liked it. that took care of her doubt. this car drives wonderfully. smooth and quiet. feels like it has more than 205 hp. transmission is perfectly matched to the 3.5l v6. powerful at all speeds. i personaly like the different plastics they used in the interior theyre easily cleaned. interior looks good longer.

  • 338,000 Miles, all original, still going strong! - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    We bought our 2006 G6 GT in 2007 with 16k miles on it. It currently has 338k miles, and still runs great! I changed spark plugs at 180k miles, and they werent even bad, but just thought it was enough miles on them. One complaint is the suspension, for the last 200k miles, it makes lots of rattles in the suspension. Im sure its an easy fix, but it still works good. We did replace power steering around 250k miles. Other than that, we have had amazing reliability with this car. Just do regular maintenance, wash the car once in a while, and youll have no problems. This is a MN car, and theres lots of salt on our roads in the winter, and the body is just about perfect still. Would buy again.

  • Nothing like it before! - 2005 Pontiac G6

    I had owned a Grand Am previously, and thought the new G6 would have a comparable feel to it, but it seems that Pontiac has redone it completely! Its a great car!

  • Will never buy Pontiac again!!!! - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    When I first saw this car, I had to have it. It was sporty, roomy, and a good affordable price. Well, you get what you pay for!!! I have had to bring it in the shop several times....a ball joint and power steering column replacement, random lights bulbs go out all the time, keyless entry failed all of a sudden, belt replacement, shock replacement. I mean come on!!! The car isnt even that old. Might I add that I purchased the model with the panoramic sunroof...what a piece of crap. The noisiest ride ever. It is so loud I can barely stand it. I think it was cheaply made...looks good from the exterior, but runs like a cheap go-cart!! Thank god i bought an extended warranty

  • so far not bad - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    The car seems to be pretty good. I traded a 2001 honda EX 6cyl for it. My biggest complaint is that there is no light in the glove box (shame on you G.M.). I also do not like the high performance tires. I will be lucky to get 15,000 miles out of them. And they make high sounds when you hit any little thing on the road. The trunk popper is very user unfriendly. The steering is a bit unusual. In Florida we really dont need heated seats. That could have been an option. All in all, I like the car and time will tell the rest.

  • New G6 - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I am thrilled with the combination of comfort inside and sporty styling outside. The car is loaded and under $30K. The interior feels roomy and very comfortable front and back. The head room in the back is not as generous, but a small price to pay to get the cool panoramic roof. You could get picky with it could have this or that, but I think you would have to jump-up to $40k to get it. They got it right.
