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.

  • I love this car! - 2006 Pontiac G6

    I had rented a G6 when traveling and fell in love with it then. Now that I bought one of my own, it is even better than I imagine. I havent found anything about this car I dont like.

  • Dont make a mistake, I DID - 2006 Pontiac G6

    I bought this 2006 g6 brand new. Now I wish I wouldnt have. from day one with the dealership. the first 2 weeks I have a popping in front end, rack and pinion replaced, 3 months later a/c quits working (compressor), within 1 week radio quit working and cd stuck in player, while they had it belt broke, 6-7 months later a/c compressor & belt again, also tensioner pulley found to be bad while in shop, another bad radio and heat/ac vent broke, had sun visor mirror break 3 times, and now have 15,000 miles on it and transmission making sounds/shifting hard. at 20,000 miles had 2 sensors go out. finally at 64,000 miles transmission and thermostat out. what a fun car to drive, but a serious money pit.

    First full day of ownership and I am thrilled. Put 400+ miles on it thru Chicago, Great Lakes lake effect snow and smooth newly paved roads in Indiana and enjoyed every minute. Responsive, great acceleration for merging, handles Chicagos horrendous perpetual construction with ease and great mileage (27.6) so far.Love this car- and it looks great too.

  • Used G6 - 2006 Pontiac G6

    The vehicle interior is not handsome and the seats are by far not the most comfortable and supportive, the car should have been tinted by the manufacturer. If you live in a sunny state window tinting is highly suggested and get seat covers if you dont get one in leather. It does have some pep to it, when you step on the pedals it does take off relatively quick. The mileage is also surprising in that I am averging about 29/30 on the highway with the V6 so that is a pleasant surprise. The noise inside the cabin is moderate. Use ceramic tint in the rear since the radio antenae is built into the glass. The power pedals make it easy to find a comfortable driving position for my wife and I.

    This is by far the best car that I have ever owned. I do not have one complaint about my G6. I would recommend the G6 to everyone who is looking to get a quality vehicle for a great price!

  • 2006 G6 Sedan V6 130,000KM - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I feel compelled to write a review about this car as we put a lot of hard miles on our cars, our sedan came with remote keyless entry, remote start, power pedals. We serviced the car every 5000 or as needed. We have replaced front and rear brakes and rear stabilizer bushings. Other than that everything works perfect powerful fun to drive. Great fuel economy for a v6. Just a note, when it comes time for a transmission service dont get the flush, they hacked my transmission line and has never since stopped leaking, they say it needs a high pressure line which cost more then the car is worth, LOL. We have recently purchased a 07 with 30,000 km hope it last as long as our 06.

  • So far so good - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I bought this car in March of 2010 and Ive had it for about 6 mos now. There were a few minor problems when I first bought the car, but it was under warranty so fixing it was not a problem (power steering had to be fixed). Everythings been excellent up until 3 wks ago when my check engine light came on and stayed on. I took the car to a mechanic who told me that I needed to replace my gas cap. After I replaced the cap the engine light went off, but came back on a week later. I called the mechanic back and he told me that I may have a leak so thats my next mission. Besides that I love the car; it drives great, turns corners well and I love how fast it accelerates!

  • Best car yet! - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    This car was the 4th car I have owned, and I was warned always to not buy this brand because of the way pontiacs usually turn out to be, But I love my car! its by far my favorite and im pretty sure I will drive this car until it just wont go anymore! I just love the way it drives and the way it handles, also its very spacious and great to take on long trips! The people who are having many problems are victims of cars that were not maintained and to be honest the way that they drive. If you drive it easy it will last you forever :)

  • Please Dont Buy - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    this car is fast and fast to break down. problems started as early 30k mi. the water pump was the first to go. that was wierd cause the car was new.then after that it was the battery. mind you that every part that i took i replaced with the top of the line parts available. i finally came up with the rasio that for every 1 new part put on the car 3 more parts broke. then the lower control arm snapped.wheel hub assemply went out. oil drain plug decomposed and the list continues. from transmission shifting hard to total loss of horsepower and deallights failing. just dont buy the car. when it works the car is gorgious and fast.
