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.

  • Excellent Car - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    This car is very sporty in nature and drives very well. It has good handling for its size and retains its composure in tight situations.

  • Honda to G6 and no regret - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Was killing time and went to see the G6. Drove it about 15 miles and bought it. Had been driving a 4 cyl., 5 speed, 2004 Honda Accord, which is a fine car. But, the only edge the Accord has on the G6 is in the gas milage dept. Got an excellent "out the door" price on the G6 ($18,500, tax included). Like its appearance, handling and pep and the extras thrown into a pretty basic package. Got a sun roof, a super sound system, a 6 disc CD player.

  • Good car overall - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I bought this car in March 05, and already have 7200 miles on it. I just love the look of the car - I bought a black one, so it really stands out with the chrome wheels. So far, it has gotten fairly good gas mileage (32 mpg highway, and around 27/28 city). As far as ride goes, it is a lot smoother than my previous car (01 Grand Am GT), and I feel safer in it. The only issues Ive noticed so far are in the driver and passenger doors. The door panels seem to be a little loose, as you can hear a slight (annoying) vibration when you go over bumps in the road, or when you are listening to certain songs with more bass. And the drivers side door sometimes sounds like it is not closed.

    I purchased this car in 2005 new. Now it has 107,230 miles. It has been a great car. Mine has the 4 panel sunroof, which I love. The 6 CD in- dash 300 Watt stereo is really nice. Mine is metallic silver, which shines like a new dime in the sunlight. The performance is great! 200 HP with plenty of torque. The gas mileage is 36-38 at 60 MPH. To and from work in traffic I receive 24-26 MPG. The car is the perfect size and has plenty of room for everything. I need to get the 100,000 mile tune-up, but it runs fine. I have only had to replace the tires and oil. I am sick that Pontiac is going to quit making this car.

  • Perfect Everyday Car - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    My old 93 Grand Prix had 130k on it and it was time for something new. I needed another car with a little kick, V6 and something Id love driving for my daily 50 mile commute to work. I already have a sports car, so I didnt need a V8, but I wanted something w/ a little puch to it. I had good luck with my Grand Prix so I gave the G6 a look. Ive had the car for about 5 months, put on 8K already on it and I love it the more I drive it. Engine creeps up on you and before you know it your doing 80 w/o breaking a sweat. Great seats, like the interior layout and info center. Sporty looking style for a 4 door. Surprisingly good room in back seat and I get 26-28 mpg with good power. Great car.

    Great car. The only thing I would change are the rear taillights... look like a Neon. The Coupes rear end looks sharp. I wish the 4 door had a similar rear end.

  • G6 review - 2005 Pontiac G6

    Car rides very well. It also has a big back seat and has gotten very good gas mileage. So far, very satisfied w/purchase.

  • Junk it - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Like most of the reviews, my G6 was bought new. It rattles, shakes so bad that I am afraid to drive it. Sun roof leaks and rattles. The interior design is very cheap. I also bought a new Grand Prix two months later, big difference. My lease expires next month and I am sure I will get boned my GMAC with them having to fix all of the broken crap that should have never failed in the first place. What a cheap piece of junk.

  • No Remorse - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I leased a base G6. To give some background I own a Toyota Highlander, I never thought Id get a Pontiac, I hate their looks. The G6 looked different so I decided to take a look since I knew I could get a great deal on one compared to a Honda or Toyota. I only have 250 miles on mine but can tell you this. It handles really well and has a quiet and supple ride. It comes well equiped and like the V6. It is sporty enough for me and can handle 2 kids in car seats. It has been fine in the snow belt. My new Consumer Reports rags on this car which isnt fair. I never thought Id defend a Pontiac but drive one and judge for yourself. I got more bang for the buck which Magazines dont consider.

    have had car for only 1 month but am extremely pleased with comfort driving. It is great driving over rough roads as our city streets are torn up replacing water pipes. Interior is comfortable and everything within reach. Most room in interior of any 6cy. cars I have seen.
