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.

  • Unhappy - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I was extremely happy with my purchase until i reached about 3,000 miles, that is when my brakes started squeaking then at 4,000 miles i get into my car and attempt to make a turn, i personally being a small female could not turn my wheel. I then called roadside they towed my car to the dealership who had it fo 5 day to replace the entire steering column-- i cant exactly say that i was very happy with the situation and from now on i have a bad outlook on the g6

  • Decent, but wont buy again - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    My car, like some of the others also had brake issues. It also likes to hesitate when starting. The paint easily comes off the interior buttons and the visor mirrors break easily. Seems like it needs aligned often. Blind spots are bad when changing lanes. But overall the flaws my car has had so far have been minor. Its been reliable and handles well.

  • Bought this car and it is a nightmare! - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I bought this car and 2 days later it broke down, it keeps jumping and the dealers cant find the problem this car has been in the shop more than I have it! it keeps giving me a signal saying power steering no fuel, but my car doesnt take power steering fuel because its electric! If the car would work the way its supposed to it would be a great car! But it dont!

  • I Love my G6` - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I leased a 2005 G6 just because I drove it when I needed to look for a better car, and once I drove it I loved it. I am 66" tall and it has more room and comfort than my old Caddy. It has great peep, good gas mileage, great room for 4 big people and rides like a dream it will be on of the biggest hits for Pontiac in the years to come

  • G6 GT just Great - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Have been driving my G6 GT for 2 weeks now and I simply love it. Ive already put over 600 miles on the car and averaging at least 25mpg. This car looks great, rides great, handles great and just feels real solid. One friend who is anti-american when it comes to cars said after driving mine they would definitely consider buying one. If you were like me and drawn in by the looks, after driving one and seeing it up close, the whole package will not disappoint. I love my new G6.

  • Surprisingly amazing! - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I got the Pontiac G6 as a company car. I wasnt expecting much but was surprisingly amazed. The vehicle is quieter than most cars Ive driven, including my personally owned vehicle, an Acura. It is fast and spunky ... just the way I like to drive. I havent noticed fuel economy, mostly because the company pays for the gas. Im interested to see how this baby performs after she gets a few miles under her belt! Being the research hog that I am, I looked up the cost of the vehicle and the ratings. I wasnt surprised by the great consumer ratings the vehicle received but I was surprised at the low sticker price. An absolute steal.

  • Good Alternative - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Like other reviewers, the G6 was not my first choice, however with the financing and price specials it was very hard to pass up. Overall, Im pleased with the performance of the car. There is room for improvement on gas milage and interior feel. Fully loaded, its a nice mid size car.

  • Gonna miss Pontiac - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Bought this car less than a month ago and I love it so far. It drives awesomely and hasnt had any problems yet. However if you research it youll find that the power steering does go out because its electric and it cost about $700 to fix. so Im just waiting for mine to go . This should be recalled . but Ive only owned Pontiacs and this is by far my favorite. Really fast even with the 3.5 and awesome sound insulation. Remote start is awesome and the sunroof is sweet. However the monsoon system is probably my favorite also. And the 21 mpg is wrong. I get 26 - 27 highway easily and about 24 in the city.

  • Love it - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I picked up my new G6 GT a few weeks ago and so far I love it. Ive had several people comment on it and usually find someone looking at it when parked in a lot. I love the styling of the new coupe, the telescoping steering wheel and the Monsoon Sound system...GM did a great job designing this car although the side mirrors are a bit small.

  • Love it, but Hate it as well... - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Purchased a red one, with a 6 speed, so it has the power I like and looks great. But within days of owning they needed it back for a recall to fix the sunroof. Then a couple months later I had a waterfall in the car. Sunroof is very loud when closed. Then the lock broke off. I had to get the rotors rotated at 20,000 miles. Will this cause more issues later? A sensor in the door must be going bad that sends the signal saying it is open or shut. The window is suppose to drop down when open & move up when closed. It moves back up before being closed & makes a horrible noise. Afraid it will break the glass. Also the radio doesnt always go off when the door is open.
