This Year's Model Updates:

The G6 is an all-new midsize sedan replacement for the ancient Grand Am.

Pros:
  • Crisp handling, lots of rear-seat room, plenty of standard features, innovative panoramic sunroof.
Cons:
  • A few low-buck interior bits, panoramic sunroof takes away rear-seat headroom, down on power compared to class leaders.

  • Its good - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    This car is fun to drive. Very responsive and sporty. It does turn heads. I was nervous about a "first edition" purchase, but have no regrets. Pontiac has been reliable in the past, so as a new G6 owner, I think I will just relax and enjoy it.

    I bought my G6 in March and have put 3k on it so far. I bought it with 94k, and only had one owner who replaced pretty much everything that goes out at that high of mileage. Ive had zero problems since Ive bought it except my windshield cracked and I had to replace it. Its got all the features, 3.6L V6 engine, monsoon stereo, 6 CD changer, fog lights, power pedals, chrome wheels, etc. Definitely a head turner. Its a very sporty fun car for a daily commute. Its my first nice car Ive ever owned and Id definitely recommend for someone who is looking for a nice, cheap, sporty car.

    I have had this car for a year now and have nothing put praise for it. Not one day of trouble and it has not seen the shop yet. Very comfortable for highway driving and for around town too.

  • I love my car! - 2005 Pontiac G6

    I absolutely love this car! Aside from its stylish looks - for a 4 door its very sporty, it handles like a charm and is so much fun to drive. The gas mileage is great and the interior setup is user friendly. As a current owner of an 02 Grand Am GT, I find this car much easier to maneuver, better on gas and much more fun to drive. This ones a keeper!

  • Should have bought a CarFax - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I bought my Pontiac G6 almost 2 years ago & absolutely loved it. My husband is 69" & could fit in it nicely, loved the sporty feel of it but you cant drive fast with the windows down because of the loud humming noise. About 6 months after, we began our many trips to the dealership for new struts, squeaky driver seat and now lower control arm and ball joint on both sides & swaybar. Im very thankful I bought an extended warranty. I have always owned GM vehicles but with the problems Ive had with this car and the trouble Ive had with more than one GM dealership, I will NEVER buy GM again and my grandfather and mother-in-law both retired from GM. This car was my worst purchase in my life!

  • Very Shaky - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I bought my car used and had a 60 day warranty with it. When I first bought it the power steering was a little rough so they fixed that. Then I had to take it in 3 times after that because it would shake real bad on the highway. On the third time they told me my tires were wearing unevenly. I bought new ones. Ive had to replace them and later had to replace them again. Now Im on my second year and it still is shaking real bad. It is to the point I am scared of driving it. It makes a loud clunking noise in the front when Im going around 55. I cant wait until I can afford to get rid of it. I used to love Pontiac but Im kinda glad they dont make them anymore. Im disappointed.

  • A lot of car for the price - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    The first impression I had was how quiet this car is. With less than 200 miles on it, we took it on a 300 mile trip. I couldnt believe a car that weighs 3400 lbs. could get 32mpg! This car is roomy and has every option imaginable, with the exception of a built in garage door transmitter. I have yet to discover any defects, inside or out. Handles well and has good performance. I couldnt be happier.

  • I simply like it - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I work for a car-rental company, and in the past 7 years I have driven hundreds of different domestic and Japanese models. I have to say that I love this car, and I cant get out of it. I am glad that GM has finally decided to compete with the rest of the world.
