  Best 4-Seat Convertible Value in the US - 2008 Pontiac G6
  By Convertible Steve - January 18 - 2:33 am

  By far, G6 hardtop convertible is the best value in this segment. All expectations have been met or exceeded, & it has been relatively free of "surprises." Noticeable negative is interior plastics. GM really "stretched" to make this a truly affordable, modern 4-seat convertible, & for the most part, it succeeded. Top mechanism is unbelievably complicated, so an extended warranty is likely to be wise purchase. Power of 3.5L engine is fine, but occasionally feels sluggish at highway passing speeds. Surprisingly, fuel economy exceeds 17 city/26 hwy EPA estimates by 10 - 15%. Tranny is well-mated to engine. Wide turning radius, but otherwise handles well. And best of all, a rock-solid ride.

  Midlife Crisis Resolved - 2008 Pontiac G6
  By Gary B. - January 12 - 9:56 pm

  I love everything about this car! The ride is smooth and comfortable with plenty of power, zip, and pep. Its simply a blast to drive top up or top down. With the top up Ive heard a few times, how is that a convertible? I get fond looks and compliments from many folks with the top down. I enjoy driving it as well as being a passenger. Move the front seat a notch or two and Im comfortable in the back seat and Im 62". I know theres room for 4 adult sized adults in this car. No room in the trunk with the top down? So what, theres plenty of room in the back seat. Mustang cant say that!

  Great car - 2008 Pontiac G6
  By Dan - January 4 - 6:10 am

  I was looking for a coupe so I checked out Nissan, Honda and Toyota. They all were ok but something just didnt feel right with any of them. I was driving past a Pontiac dealer and spotted the G6 coupe and it was love at first sight. It had everything I was looking for and more. Once I took a test drive and talked price I was sold. I paid $8-10,000 LESS than I would have paid for the Nissan, Honda or Toyota. Once I started driving it and checked my gas mpg I couldnt believe it. On the highway Im getting 28-30 mpg and city is 23-25 mpg and it isnt even broken in yet!! As a added benefit the car is made in the USA, it looks like American workers can do a good job too.

  Street Edition - 2008 Pontiac G6
  By zro3486 - October 13 - 12:10 pm

  Overall, this is a great car. The Street Edition package turns heads. The ground effects kit and the scoops in the hood are gorgeous. The hammerhead spoiler is a little much, but it is starting to grow on me as time goes on. The car has plenty of power and pickup, especially since it is such a small car. I also only get about 17 mpg average between street and highway driving. I blame it mostly on low speed limits in the city I live in. On a road trip, I maintained over 25 mpg.

  Awesome GXP Street Edition Sedan - 2008 Pontiac G6
  By GXP Street Edition - September 22 - 9:30 am

  This car replaced a 2005 Altima 3.5SL - The Pontiac has a taut smooth ride that doesnt feel too harsh. The transmission is very smooth shifting and the engine turns low rpms at highway speeds in 6th! Interior is very nicely appointed and feels contemporary with a European influence. The longer wheelbase on this car compared to many of its direct competitors gives the Pontiac a more refined ride and drive. Great build quality and a quiet interior makes for a stress free ride! Plenty of power on tap for any situation will put a smile on your face. All this at a very competitive price. Pontiac hit a home run with this GXP package! You cant go wrong with this vehicle in your garage

  Awesome Little SportsCar! - 2008 Pontiac G6
  By MsWordWiz - September 4 - 10:03 pm

  Great car for the price point. I compared it to a Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Dodge Avenger, and a Prius. This is the one that both myself and husband felt the most comfortable in both in the front seat and as back seat passengers. The trunk space with the fold down seats that do not cover your floorspace in the back is a nice feature. It is a sedan that truly drives like a sports car.

  Great wheels - 2008 Pontiac G6
  By marvel90 - July 31 - 7:53 pm

  The Monsoon Sound system is much better than the Bose in the Infiniti I traded. Never had a car before that got "lookers" when I was at the gas station! Only flaw-the instrument panel gauges do not have illumination during the day, great at night!

  Surprise Contender - 2008 Pontiac G6
  By Dj1ofDet - July 5 - 10:16 pm

  Originally I was interested in the 2008 Mazda 6, but was convinced by my wife to check out our GM discount. After being 2000 miles into driving my 2008 G6, I am completely satisfied. Not only did the G6 offer more features for the price, more incentives, and similar styling, the G6 performance (3.5 L V6) blows the Mazda 6 away! This is a crazy fun car to drive, with lots of "off the lot" performance and options to offer. I only wish I had purchased the GXP model for the body kit, sun and sound package for the moonroof, and leather for heated seats. GREAT VEHICLE!!!

  My shot at better gas mileage - 2008 Pontiac G6
  By Ed Smith - June 6 - 8:46 pm

  We traded a 2004 Yukon for this vehicle and thus far it has been problem free. It feels sure footed and corners nicely with little lean. It has a bit more road noise in the cabin than I care for but it is not overly annoying. The 2.4 liter engine is peppy for its size but no wheel spinner either. Gas mileage has been fairly good at near 22 around town and running slightly above 30 mpg on the highway. Rear seat room is above average and comfort. All in all I consider it a good buy with the c/d player radio and ON Star. Id buy another one!

  Great Car - 2008 Pontiac G6
  By Heather - June 6 - 4:03 pm

  I am currently leasing me 4 door G6 and I absolutely love it! I drive over 100 miles a day and i am averaging about 27 mpg at about 75 mph which i think is just great! I am in a reliable car with plenty of safety features and great gas mileage and an awesome payment for the car! Low payment and a lot of luxury for the money! Its been exceptional so far and I would recommend it to anyone!
