  • Great car for the money - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I recently purchased a used 2009 pontiac G6 with 33,000 miles. I really wasnt looking for a G6 but when I saw this one and test drove it I couldnt pass it up. All the other cars I test drove in this price range,(between 10,000 and 15,000),didnt even compare. The ther cars lacked in accesories or were much smaller and under powered. The G6 with everything I was looking for in a car plus nice styling and handling. The horse power from the 2.4L ecotec engine wont win any drags but its no slouch oh the hiway. My family and i took the G6 on a short 200 mile trip just to see how it would do. We only used a Quarter tank of gas the whole trip. Over all a great little car.

    Purchased it with cash for clunkers plus the GM incentives $4500. great ride so far. Great value per dollar.

  • Drives like a rental - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I am currently renting this car. Overall its a very dissapointing car. I normally drive an 2007 Audi a4 and given my A4 only cost me about 5k more then a new G6 GT it feels about 100% better in terms of interior quality, handling and overall build quality. The only thing I am impressed with is the 3.5 V6 which feels a lot stronger then the 219 HP its putting out.

  • Great all around - 2009 Pontiac G6

    Being a totally worshiper of Ford, I was surprised, pleasantly, to discover a new vehicle of non-Ford make to love. Since the test drive I have fallen head over heels for this car. The performance is great, it handles very well and smoothly in all situations. Also it has been very reliable and dependable for me. I was also happily surprised to discover its fuel economy is nothing to frown at either. Overall this car has many perks and great aspects to it.

  • Fun to Drive - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Wife wanted a convertible, moving from Infiniti G35 coupe. She wanted hard top so that really limited selection. No, the G6 isnt a G35, but it also costs about 30-35% less. That said, the G6 is still plenty car to get person from point A to point B with plenty of pick-up and go. In Midwest, being able to drive in snow is even more a necessity than dropping the top in summer, G6 handles GREAT in snow with stock tires. G6 is sporty, functional and fun to drive - cant wait for summer. No problems.

  • Pontiac builds excitement - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Only owned the car for six weeks but it has been great so far. The relatively long wheelbase, for a car in this class, provides excellent ride. Owing to the fat 225/50-17 tires, taunt but compliant suspension and good steering response I, admittedly not a street racer, havent found the limits of this car, yet. From what Ive experienced, however, I expect the G6 to perform well in an emergency evasive maneuver. Im 62" and found the back seat headroom to be adequate and the legroom quite impressive. Originally attracted by the clean, smooth styling and rake of the roofline. Really like the taupe leather interior, heated seats and security of OnStar. 31 mpg so far on a couple trips.

  • Good sedan for the price - 2009 Pontiac G6

    Good look, fun to drive. I bought the car just a few weeks and I really love it. The fitting inside is good. The response is great.

  • This is a good car - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I purchased the 09 G6 as a replacement for my 07 G6 as the 07 was stolen and totaled. If for a minute I didnt loke the 07 model, I never would have purchased the 09. It is a good looking car and fun tho drive. It has enough power with the 3.5 V6 and handles good. I am so mad that GM stopped making Pontiac. I have owned Pontiac for the last 20+ years, and will miss them. I am still a GM guy, I just have to decide where to go next in the GM family. I remember on a 500 mile trip, I got 30.2 MPG and did not go under 55 MPH, spending much of the time at 70MPH and more. I was impressed with that. OnStar and navigation are useful also. I recommend this car to all!

  • Disappointing - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I have an Accord. I got this car as a rental while my Accord was in the shop for a few weeks. Wow. Did Pontiac ever try out other cars? The seats were uncomfortable. There was no place to put my sunglasses. Only 2 cup holders. None in the back seats. It has a horrible turning radius. The engine was very nice. Overall, you can do much better than this.

    Got this car last week it is fun to drive and has alot of power for a V6 love the Xm radio and Onstar is great love the turn by turn nav and the remote start is a nice thing to have, and the warranty is up to 100,000 miles so that made us like the car even more.
