  • My Latest Convertible - 2008 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Ive had a 1958 TR-3A, a 1972 MGB and a 1988 Chevy Cavalier Z24 convertible in my driving lifetime and this is the best overall package in the bunch. The only drawback is the tiny trunk when the hardtop is stowed, but, for heavens sake, it IS a hardtop convertible! The thing must go somewhere! Fit and finish seems excellent. Several storage cubbyholes in the cockpit are very handy for stowage of manuals, remote controls and other "glove box" items. ONStar and XM radio are wonderful additions. The ac/heater vents have provided a perfect home for my Garmin GPS. Well see how she likes the trip up to our condo in Flagstaff.

    I just bought my g6 this past Saturday so far so good, it has a smooth drive nice simple basic interior the chrome makes that basic interior look good i can fit my two car seats in the back with room for one person to fit (skinny) the trunk looks small but my massage table fits in the trunk perfect.The seats are comfy and I like how it tells me how much mileage Im getting from a full tank on the radio.

    A nice car for the money. I will agree that it is difficult to see in the rear view mirror. Really peppy when passing on the interstate. Nice interior and aux. jack on the radio for the ipod/mp3. Overall a great car.

  • My GXP - 2008 Pontiac G6

    I love my GXP especially since nobody else has it yet. Im always asked whats a GXP, they dont even realize its a G6. Looks so much different than all the others. I love that!

  • Fun Car to Own & Drive - 2008 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Finally bought my first convertible. I looked for about a year before deciding on the Pontiac G-6. So far, I have been pleased with it. I have had a few rattles develop, but the dealer has taken care of them, no mechanical problems. I get a lot of looks driving around town with the top down, Really fun car to drive, and for the money, you could not beat it.

  • Life is better now that I have this car - 2008 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I test drove all 4 of the reasonably- priced hard-top convertibles. Mazda was too small, Chrysler was not good, the Eos is worth a look but to get one with all the great features the G6 has would require spending about 3K more. I loved the G6 during the test drive but some of the negative comments I read in professional reviews were discouraging. After buying the car, I know those comments are unnecessarily over-critical. Comments on the lack of trunk space when the top is down are silly. It’s a “hard-top”. Where else does one expect the roof to go? Many people have commented on the ‘poor quality of interior material’. I don’t get it. The interior is just fine. I highly recommend this car

    I havent had my G6 long, but I love it. It is really fun to drive and very comfortable. There is ample leg room in the backseat which is nice for passengers. I love the iPod jack and the chrome trim. They remote control start is a plus too! I wish it had better gas mileage...but I think everyone wants better gas mileage these days. Great car, I would recommend it. I wish there was more storage space though or a bigger console. Not much room for storage in the car, but the trunk is big.

  • Love my G6 - 2008 Pontiac G6

    I love this car. Have had no problems and great gas mileage 24/30+..:) Great design and great to drive. The extra air bags make me feel so safe with my year old daughter! I would love get another one in the future but Pontiac is no longer with us, and i have a feeling this car will last me a long time and the last model (10) will be to old!

  • Diamond in the Rough - 2008 Pontiac G6

    I purchased my 08 G6 GT Sedan in April 09. It had 20,000 miles on it. I must say that I have had nothing but compliments so far about the vehicle. I have put 17,000 on it in the first year, and it has rode like a champ. Gas mileage Avg. for me has been about 20 city/32 highway. That is a mix of city and highway. For those who say this car has bad gas mileage, let off the gas lead foot! It is a quick car even with a slow steady acceleration. One recommendation to ALL OWNERS: Get a strut tower bar for the front. It improves handling, gas mpg, and reduces tire wear. I have 36.5k on the original tires, and it still has 50-60% tread life left. Recommended Cold Tire Pressures:33-35F, 30-32R.

  • My new toy - 2008 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I have always wanted a convertible but knew a soft top would not be good for me as I dont have covered parking. The only hardtops out there were not affordable enough for me...then came the G6! Thank you Pontiac for making my dream car a reality! I absolutely love my new toy! Its so much fun to drive, its very sporty and looks awesome with the top up or down! I get looks, honks and thumbs up from everyone! I chose the black with tan leather interior and walnut burl accents. It looks like one of those more expensive cars on the inside. Very classy!
