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.

Buy this car! - 2006 Pontiac G6
By andrew - March 11 - 9:00 amThe Pontiac G6 is amazing, bottom line. There is no comparison. I traded in my Toyota Camry in August 2005 for this car. I was very skeptical. However, I have learned that this is the better car. I dont keep cars that often, but I will keep this one. I drive like a MADMAN! The Camry couldnt handle me, but this car does well. The engine power is great and the brakes are even better. Even driving like this, I get the great fuel economy listed on the sticker. Not to mention, the fuel gauge is accurate, when it is full, it is on F, not two inches past F. I love the panoramic sunroof. I was skeptical because of what the journalists were saying, but now I know they just dont like US cars.

Fun to drive - 2006 Pontiac G6
By DStark - March 6 - 8:23 amI love this car! I bought a base model which doesnt have all the bells and whistles as a more expensive model but it rides and drives great.. So if youre looking for a car without spending a lot of bucks, this is it! I highly recommend the G6.

Its a contender - 2006 Pontiac G6
By Kurt - February 28 - 5:43 amI bought this car used (15k miles) and have just put over 1000 miles on it in one week (vacation). Good performance from engine and sound handling dynamics. Fuel economy is surprisingly good; 23 city, 34 mpg on country roads at 60-65 mph, and 32 mpg at 78 mph on the higway, all with the AC running and 3 passengers. This vehicle is a HUGE step forward from past GM efforts, but it has room to improve.

Warning!!!!! - 2006 Pontiac G6
By jed_460 - February 26 - 9:12 amThis car is by far the worst car I have ever owned. At 47,000 miles i had my 2nd pair of rotors put on. At 50,000 I had struts replaced. At 70,000 my cd player went out. At 75,000 My transmission needed to be rebuilt along with the catalytic converter and all of the o2 sensors. It seems like every time I have fixed it; it breaks down again. This could just be my experience but I would not wish this on anyone. I am at about $4,000 in repairs and the car is only worth about $5,000.

Poor Reliability Ruins A Great Car - 2006 Pontiac G6
By manualgtp - February 8 - 1:00 pmThe G6 is the right size and fun to drive. Gas mileage is above average. Reliability is a major problem: Brakes,rough idle, spark knock, Frequent engine light and airbag light issues, Front suspension parts wearing out early etc. Add that the dealer only provides a temporary fix, so you have to take it back again and again for the same problem. I have lost count of how many times it has been in for warranty work. I know it is over 14 times in less than 2 years. If it was reliable, it would be a great car. Maybe the base cars are better. This GTP has not. I have owned many new Pontiacs and this G6 has been the worst for repairs. Choose the Grand Prix instead. It appears to be more reliable.

Gas Mileage - 2006 Pontiac G6
By Billy - January 31 - 7:16 pmDecent Transportation - do not go out of your way to seek out this car. I got some really great incentives so I bought it. The gas mileage is not up to what the sticker says. The automatic MPG on the dash board is about 2 miles more than what I calculate myself. I have the 6 cylinder. I recommend that you go for the 4 cylinder to improve gas mileage. Very small glove compartment. This is my first Pontiac.

Best car i ever owned!! - 2006 Pontiac G6
By wade - January 1 - 10:10 pmI noticed alot of bad reviews? But i also noticed the GTP is reviewing pretty decent? Could be a different assembly line or something? But my car has been super since i bought it new!! I have owned lots & lots of cars! From mercury cougers,mustangs,s-10 trucks all types. & this cars beats em all. On my date of purchase i was also choosing the gto & solstice. The G6 won because of interior room,trunk space,V6-6 speed = power for type of car it is. & i dont regret my choice! Awesome black ext, panoramic roof, black & tan interior! upgraded The mass air sensor to jet also k&n airfilter, replaced air duct system to straight pipe & put in a tornado air system. changed the stock 240hp to 300+ h

G6 GTP really rocks!!! - 2006 Pontiac G6

Exterior is a rival for imports - 2006 Pontiac G6
By JED GT6er - December 27 - 1:40 pmLove the interior options and exterior design. Car drives smoothly and accelerates quickly. Tires are a bit dicey--seem to slip at the least bit of rain, ice, snow. I would suggest a better gripping tire for this model. Get tons of queries and looks from passers by. The car is an eye catcher! The sporty feel and handling are excellent.

My first REAL car - 2006 Pontiac G6
By HxaX - December 23 - 11:00 pmIf youre looking for a great performance, fully loaded car for around $10,000, this is your car. Im only 20 years old and purchased this car a few weeks ago and so far it has driven great! I love all the features.. the huge sunroof is great to show off. The performance of the car STOCK is very smooth and very fast. And the stereo system is one to keep stock. Most guys my age are looking for cars like this, its too bad there paying around 20k - 30k for them. I paid $10k for this fully loaded beauty! The one downside is the gas mileage. I get around 17 - 19 mpg city and 18 - 22 highway.. Which isnt too bad considering Im on 20 inch tires. But its worth it for this ride!
