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.

  • Give me a brake....job! - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    BOOO!!! 1st month = broken wipers, passenger visor broke off into my wifes lap (it wasnt even in use at the time), fog light switch burned out & the brake car shakes when the brake pedal is depressed. After complimentary a brake job, the car still vibrated when I pressed the brakes, just a few miles after leaving the dealership. I cannot wait until my lease is over next year to get rid of this problem car. domestic mess! Oh yeah, power steering is ineffective for first few mins of driving after a cold start on winter morning. I dont let my kids in this car. We take the family SUV, due the G6 brake problems. And I thought motorcycles were dangerous!

  • Over 2,000 miles and still happy - 2005 Pontiac G6

    No problems so far. Got the GT primarily for the wheels and nicer cloth. My 97 GrandAm had been a great car since new. The 6-way seat with leather doesnt give you much more angle/height adjustability than the 2- way with cloth. Id like a steeper seat angle adjustment and lower tiltability for the steering wheel, but probably both are by design to prevent the driver being launched OVER the airbag! Thankfully, much less interior chrome (taupe interior) than most supposedly nicer cars. To each their own, but I like its looks inside and out better than GTO or Grand Prix.

  • Very Nice Car - 2005 Pontiac G6

    We love the new G6 GT. Weve only put a few hundred miles on it but have a few suggestions, mostly cosmetic. The V-6 needs more guts Dual Exhaust should be standard on the GT I was surprised to find a manual rear view mirror dimmer! With all the whistles and bells why not an auto dimming mirror? The most annoying thing so far...The windshield wipers need new geometry. The passenger side stops right in front of the driver on the upswing and leaves a line of crud/rain/slush right in the center of the drivers view! I love the handling of the car! Over all, If Pontiac continues on this pace they are def headed in the right direction!!!!

  • WOW!! - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Ive been a huge Pontiac buff ever since my first car, 1986 Pontiac 6000 STE, Special Touring Edition, and then I thought Pontiac couldnt outdue themselves until the G6 came my way. This car performs like a BMW, handles the turns like and Audi, I love driving this car, I cant get enough of it. Well done Pontiac, you have another winner under your belt. Any chance of bringing back the 6000, that was a popular car.

  • A Real Car from Pontiac - 2005 Pontiac G6

    The Epsilon foundation is solid and the 17" wheel and tire package is quite stable. The 3.5L is strong off the line and should deliver 25 mpg overall. The seats and build quality of the interior is the best of any Pontiac including the GTO.

  • Sweet Ride - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Since I moved to the Tri-State area, i needed to get rid of my gas hog truck. The new G6 caught my eye, so I took it for a test drive and was blown away. The european design, with the audi style design for the interior, this is one sweet ride. Once in, you are molded into the comfortable leather lumbar seats(heated is a plus). With 200 horses and a auto shift stick that you can red-line, this car has some bite. The tight suspension and the nice rubber is a nice touch when going around those bends at excess speeds. Way to go Pontiac, you have just re-invented the American Sport Seden. We just gotta wait now for all the after market parts, to really ignite this car!

  • Love my G6 GT - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    No problems so far (knock on wood). After driving the Honda Accord and Chrysler Sebring, I chose the G6....much more fun to drive and I get looks everywhere I go as to what kind of car is THAT? Gas mileage is better than the listed 21/29mph as I get 25.6 consistently in town.

  • Love It !! - 2005 Pontiac G6

  • My G6 - 2005 Pontiac G6
    By -

    The car is a dream to drive and handles effortlessly. It corners great and is heavy enough but not like a mack truck! This has to be the best car I have ever bought!!
