Overview & Reviews
The 2008 Pontiac G6 receives changes in terms of trim levels and features, including standard side airbags and antilock brakes on all trim levels. A GXP trim level is new, though it's essentially the same thing as last year's now-discontinued GTP trim.
- Low-rent interior plastics, numb electric steering in base sedans, lackluster brakes.

My GXP - 2008 Pontiac G6
By Ismael - October 3 - 10:50 amI 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 Peggy Woodward - September 19 - 1:10 pmFinally 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.

My last GM? - 2008 Pontiac G6
By GMnomore - August 17 - 2:03 amAfter buying a 2008 G6 GT (with the 3.5 L V6) I would not recommend this car. This is my 5th GM, 4th Pontiac. Seems the designers wanted to build a nice car, but fell short. By 18k miles the car: -Front suspension clunks -Steering clunks -Vibrates at highway speed -Idles rough -Heater smells of coolant (core leak?) -Transmission sometimes fails to shift (rare) -Tire pressure monitor cannot be set manually -Heat shields resonate -Brake pedal binds slightly -Steering column makes rubbing sound I made several trips to 2 dealerships. So far, most problems have been considered "normal" by GM dealerships and remain unresolved. Sadly, this is very likely my last GM.

Life is better now that I have this car - 2008 Pontiac G6
By Dave - August 4 - 11:36 amI 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. Its a hard-top. Where else does one expect the roof to go? Many people have commented on the poor quality of interior material. I dont get it. The interior is just fine. I highly recommend this car

Pontiac G6 - 2008 Pontiac G6
By JP - April 5 - 8:56 amI 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
By moNique - February 27 - 3:53 amI 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
By AGP5000 - January 18 - 6:06 amI 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.

Unsatisfied - 2008 Pontiac G6
By Leeryleo - November 11 - 1:50 amThis car is a total let down. Interior could not be any cheaper. Other than the cheap cloth (?) seats everything seems to be hard plastic. Now that the weather is warming up the inside has a awful plastic smell. The fuel mileage is terrible. We had to have the tie rods replaced in less than 2000 miles. Car hesitates while driving, lack of useful accessories, and very cheap paint job. We hate this new car.

My new toy - 2008 Pontiac G6
By twdavis - October 29 - 6:33 pmI 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!

The critics dont own the cars they rate - 2008 Pontiac G6
By new pontiac fan - August 30 - 6:40 amThis a great fun package, and I am one of the few around that owned the original Ford version. MY first car 40 years ago was a rusty old ford retractable hardtop, and I was hooked. Have had other convertibles since and own a nice 1980 corvette now. Have never looked at Pontiac till I saw this convertible and had to have it. 3.5 v6 powerful enough and very smooth. White diamond tri-coat with taupe leather, what a stunning car. I knew there would be no trunk and bought it anyway instead of a mustang convertible. Intend to keep this car for at least 10 years.
