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.

Love my Pontiac! - 2006 Pontiac G6
By Kim - July 31 - 6:20 amI really shopped around before I chose the G6. I had it narrowed down to the G6 and the Dodge Charger but when I st in the G6 GTP, I knew it was the car for me. I have been driving this car for almost a year now and it a joy to drive. It was the best buy for the money in its class. I purchased the panoramic roof which I highly recommend. I was going to go with the regular sunroof until I sat in one with the panoramic and its like being in a convertible but better. Overall, great car and incredibly satisfied with my purchase!

Front suspension noise - 2006 Pontiac G6
By bob i - June 24 - 5:43 pmHave had the car 2 years. It has 27,000 mostly highway miles. When the weather gets cold, the suspension sounds like its coming apart. Had the car to the dealership 6 times for front suspension. Have changed intermediate shaft 2x, steering column 2x, struts once, and strut bearing caps once. Cant say they are not trying to fix it, but I am beginining to belive that Pontiac has a design defect in its front suspension. Have heard too many other horror stories about the same problem. I can now understand why GM is in trouble!

Piece of Trash - 2006 Pontiac G6
By Ms. Farmer - June 9 - 9:33 pmI leased my G6 GTP in 2006 and the lease will end 2010 and I cant wait. I had the car in at the dealership many times on the sunroof, cd changer, blower, brakes, rotors, power steering pump, and now a gear shift controller. All of that has been replaced, but now the I cant get car out of park, after the dealership put in a new gear shift! This is definitely a lemon, and dont want to ever purchase another GM product. Cute body style, but its a piece of trash. Hurry up Jan 10, so I can take this mess back since that is when my lease ends. GM need to stop making this car and to get better parts so this car can be reliable, because its not! Shame on you GM!

Nice Car for the Money - 2006 Pontiac G6
By First New Car - June 9 - 2:23 pmIve only had the car for a week, but I really like it. It handles well, and it is very fun to drive. I finally got rid of my 95 beretta Z26 with 133,000 miles because I have a six month old son, and I needed four doors. It is very easy to get him in and out of the car. I like the panoramic roof, and it makes noise just like any other sunroof. My husband likes the 6 disc changer, but as someone else noted, it doesnt play MP3s. The manual shift mode isnt that exciting. I didnt like the interior until I sat in it. Once I sat in the car, I really liked it. Note that to get your TRUE gas mileage, you have to calculate it yourself. Trunk is exactly the same cubic feet as an Accord.

A great combination - 2006 Pontiac G6
By psp711 - May 28 - 2:00 amI hadnt owned a Pontiac in years, but had some wonderful GM products in the past. This sporty, roomy car offers me the best of all worlds. The quiet of a hard top. The joy and sportiness of a convertible. The comfort and space of a luxurious automobile. And ECONOMY! I honestly get 20-22 mpg driving around town in stop and go driving. And on the highway I can count on 32 mpg. This is as good as many mini cars--and Im surrounded by all this luxury and convenience. This car has been a joy to drive, has plenty of power and people often stop me to ask me what kind of car it is--especially when the top is down. Great car, have had no problems and economical too.

I love this car!!!!!!!! - 2006 Pontiac G6
By Tyson Dilts - May 20 - 6:06 pmI have now had my new G6 about a month and it is such a great car! My car is white, with XM radio, sunroof, and remote start. I do alot of stop and go driving and still manage 26 mpg! I traded my 2003 Silverado in and do not regret it one bit! This car is very well designed! Im 63" tall and I have more room in my G6 sedan than I did in my old Ford Taurus SE. Not to mention the stylish looks compared to my old car. I even found I had more room in the G6 compared to the Grand Prix. I AM SOLD!!!!!!

Pontiac G6 v6 - 2006 Pontiac G6
By Jim Anderson - May 10 - 2:53 amOn a trip up north in May. I was getting mileage of 36.6 miles per gallon on I 95 driving at a speed between 70 and 75 miles per hour, handling was excelent and steady with cruise activated. Car was comfortable and seats were firm but not too firm. The whole trip of 2800 miles the gas mileage was 31.7 miles per gallon which included many miles of city driving after we arrived in NJ.
