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.

  • Great Car - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I recently went out and bought a red Pontiac G6 for my wife. She loves everything about the car. It is smooth quiet and easy to drive and it looks great. I have a co-worker who had just bought a new V6 Honda Accord and then saw my wife’s G6 say “I wish I had one of those.” My wife’s G6 has the 3.5 V6 it has a good amount of power and gets great gas mileage. The interior is very roomy. All of the audio and climate controls are big and easy to use. My wife loves the interior’s look and feel but it does use some cheaper materials than it competitors. I would have say that people shopping in this segment should take a serious look at the G6. It is a great car especially for the money.

    This car is fantastic! GTP has power, rides smooth like a $50,000 luxury vehicle, best standard features. A bargain out there! I have owned a Porsche, Corvette, Trans Am, this car is great!! Looks great drives great.

    I love my G6 and everyone I know loves it too. For the first six months my son and I said "We love our new car" all the time. Great inside and out. Ive had the car almost a year and still loving it. I think I made a very good choice. Saw the car in the showroom and that sold me. I cant wait to see what you come out with when I need another one. The car is very easy to drive, lots of power, sharp, enjoyable, looking forward to seeing how it holds up for the future. Cant say enough about the car. You will enjoy it...

    I enjoy getting into my car after driving an SUV for the past 4 years. The comfort and sporty style keeps it fun. And my teenage daughter even thinks it is cool.

  • Never Again - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Ive had more problems with this car in the last two years than any other vehicle Ive owned.It shakes when I try to stop, it makes clunking noises when i turn, it continues to crank after already crunk, cuts off, water in the head light, pins in the sunroof keeps slipping out, brakes issues, and many more issues.I will not ever buy another Pontiac.Very poor quality vechile. Some issues not covered under warranty even though so many are having the same issue. Great customer right.. NOT.

  • Please do not waste your money - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I have owned this car for 3.5 years now and have dumped over $3,000 in repairs in the last 24 months into it with replacing wheel bearings, strut mounts, brake pads & rotors, calipers etc etc etc. I wish I had someone warn me prior to purchase on the money pit this car actually is. Please take note of this if you are considering.

  • I bought a lemon - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I bought my car 3/2006, brand new, and I have experienced several problems with this car. 2 years ago there was a loud noise coming from the engine and I went to the dealer on 3 occasions and eventually they fixed it. This Saturday while driving, the car just stopped with no warning, in the middle of traffic, on Crenshaw Blvd. I complained to the corporate office the 1st time about the noise and complained about it this time. I was told by the dealer that the engine was frozen and that I needed to pay for them to take the engine apart to see what was wrong. I paid for an extended warranty and smartcare, and I am still being held responsible. I did everything that I was supposed to do. Danger!

  • So far so good! - 2006 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Very happy so far - this car looks great, and GM has seemingly turned the corner on build quality - obviously time will tell, but fit and finish is excellent, and there are improvements in materials used even from 2005 G6 Sedan - my brother owns a 4dr and was impressed that the problems he has with his have been fixed in the 06 coupe.
