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.

Finally an Affordable HT Convertible - 2006 Pontiac G6
By convertible - October 5 - 6:50 amWe live in Chicago, so Convertibles would be fun, didnt seem logical. Didnt like the idea of a Cloth top in the winter, drafts, poor insulation etc. Hardtops were to expensive. The design is rich, looks great. You can see where they cut corners to keep the cost affordable, but its not terrible. I miss the memory seat, home link, and leather trim on the doors. But you can live with it. Having the retractable button overhead is uncomfortable also cause you have to keep it depressed til it is complete. Holding your hand over your head even though its not that long, about a minute, feels alot longer. Absolutely NO trunk space, even with the top up. But does seat 4 comfortably. We love it.

Let Down - 2006 Pontiac G6
By Not Happy - October 4 - 10:20 pmWhen I first saw the G6 I just loved the looks of it. After test driving one I decided to buy it. I have only had my car for nine months and I am very disappointed. I have had problems with rotors, breaks, turn signal burn out, passenger mirror cover breaking, CD player quit working, knocking sounds every time I turn left or right, squeaking sounds, and just today rattling sounds every time I step down on my gas pedal! I had this car in for service four times they say they fix it, but it just starts all over again. My warranty has expired I just want to get rid of it but I owe more than I have paid on it, so I think Im going to be stuck with my G6 lemon for sometime yet!

My Silver Bullet - 2006 Pontiac G6
By Cheryl Williams - September 28 - 3:46 pmIt drives so smooth. Hugs the curves. Quick power, going into manual with a flick is nice. Dont miss the clutch at all. Im very tall, for a woman (6 ft) and Im very comfortable, good leg room. The dashboard has a cheap plastic look. Other than that I love the car

2006 Pontiac G6 Horrible Quality - 2006 Pontiac G6
By mcompton1021 - September 19 - 6:03 pmAgain, another 2006 pontiac quality problem. I have a 2006 Grand Prix with many issues and my wifes 2006 G6 is worse. This one was bought new by her father for graduation. It now has just over 30,000 miles and has had the driver side mirror heater go nuts and melt the casing, had the power steering rack completely replaced, the vanity mirror broke and was replaced, and numerous other parts were all replaced under warranty. I wanted so bad to be a advocate for american car manufacturers but I have given up at this point. Still less than 35000 miles and the car has been in the shop so many times. New problems keep appearing but now not under warranty so cannot afford to fix

Pontiac G6 - 2006 Pontiac G6
By Alisha - September 12 - 6:26 pmIts fun and pretty....rides quite and smooth...feel great when it turns...really nice to drive. But...Im now at 84000 miles, and over the past 20000 ive constantly had to get the brakes replaced and rotars turned...its ridiculous how quick they go out and it starts shaking. Im also having tons of electrical stuff now....CD player stopped working, inside light quit working, trunk light, right window wont go down, cigarette lighter went out, now the sun roof is wanting to get stuck open, sometimes it has the same starting issues others have described, auto entry doesnt work, and Ive been taking it into the show every few months to get something new fixed. After 65000, get rid of it!

My new toy - 2006 Pontiac G6
By jimmy - August 30 - 2:56 pmI purchaced a 2006 g6 GT in november of 2005 when they came out. I couldnt take not having the power i used to have in my grand prix GTP so i traded in the GT for the G6 GTP. It has been an eye-catching black sports coupe. i love everything about it!!

Domestic Switch - 2006 Pontiac G6
By R & R - August 17 - 12:16 pmI have been sceptical of American made cars. The last 3 cars my wife and I have owned are a 2002 Acura TL, 2000 Audi A4 and my current car a Infiniti 2003 G35 coupe. This car is fun to drive and the GTP options gave us the features that we are used to at a good price. We were going to trade the TL in for a TSX, but this car loaded and with the good deal we received on the price all I can say is go Pontiac. Lots of interior space and nice looks. With the extended wheel base in handles well and Im used to my G35. Very happy so far... I hope we stay as happy with this vehicle as we are today!

Black Beauty Pontiac G6 - 2006 Pontiac G6
By WEandJB - July 28 - 10:33 pmThis automobile is not only classy looking, it is fun to drive and has a very peppy 3.5L engine that will run with the best of them. It is the closest thing you can get to a Cadillac without actually having to pay the price of a Cadillac.

G6 GT Coupe - 2006 Pontiac G6
By LSparks - July 21 - 6:10 amI recently purchased my G6 GT Coupe to replace my 05 Chevy Equinox. My main reason for the purchase was gas mileage. So far, I have been very impressed, as I am getting almost 25 mpg. The G6 handles great and has much to offer in additional options. I am impressed with the styling of both the interior and exterior. This car is a real eye-catcher! The manumatic shift is a fun addition to everyday driving. I have heard very little road noise and I am impressed with the power of the 3.5L V6. To me, I have received a lot of car for the money. So far this has been the best out of the 4 previous Pontiac models I have owned.
