For 2009, a six-speed automatic transmission is added to the base four-cylinder Pontiac G6's options list, boosting highway fuel economy to 33 mpg. Satellite radio is now standard on all G6 models, while the trim levels and options packages have been rearranged slightly. Power-adjustable pedals are no longer available.

  • 2009.5 Pontiac G6 GT Sedan - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I ordered a new G6 from my local dealer in October of 2009. I got it about a month later and it came with (black/tan heated leather, power moonroof, spoiler, 17 polished 5 spoke rims, 3.5L V6, AM/FM/XM/CD/AUX radio, Monsoon speaker system, power seat) When I got it I was very surprised. The exterior is beautiful! The interior is very nice too. I took it home and was in shock to find out how well this car handled! The suspension is taught yet soft at the same time! The steering feels like a German sports sedan! It currently has 23K miles on it and has given me no problems at all! I get it professionally detailed every 3 months I detail it myself in between. I love it so much!

  • One little problem - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I have had my G6 for about 5 months now and it has 25,000 miles on it. It seems that around the front end where the motor is there is a clunking noise, sounds like the front end is going to drop out. It has nothing to do with the engine it is something else and we cant figure out what it is?..I am a little upset about this problem..

    The GXP is a blast to drive and has a super sound system. Cant get more features and better performance for less $$$.

  • Not Happy - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I bought my new car on October 3rd and it has 53 miles on it and it broke down on me on October 4th. It was the fuel pump. I am very upset that a brand new car broke down the 2nd day I had it.

  • The "Experts" Missed One! - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I have owned this car for 14 months, accumulating 12,000 miles with NO mechanical issues and I could not be more pleased. This cars 3.6 liter engine is FAST, its sporty looks get loads of compliments and it averages as much as 27.5 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg overall! The car handles well, has a satisfying but not obtrusive engine note and came fully equipped with leather interior, moonroof,auto climate control, 6 CD changer, power drivers seat and 6 speed auto/manual trans. For all this, I paid under $21,800! Too bad GM killed Pontiac; this car was a sleeper!

    recvd car as a rental. It it a very fun to drive car, seats are ok. Driving for long distance is uncomfortable due to too much hard plastic around doors. this car is proof of why American car companies have difficulty competing. After Buying Toyota for my past 2 vehicles. I am not conviced by this to buy anything else. The build Quality is just not there. Car Feels to "cheap".

  • Best Car Ever! - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I wasnt planning on getting a G6 but when we test drove one at the dealership I fell in love with it. It rides so amazingly, it has every feature I would want and more. The inside is so roomy and it is very sleek looking. It looks great on the outside too. It only gets about 21 mpg but to be honest I could car less because I just love it so much. Seriously best car I have ever owned, too bad Pontiac was discontinued.

  • Safe & comfortable but very sporty look! - 2009 Pontiac G6

    Bought this for our 17 year old daughter, great safety and reliability ratings plus she loves the look along with its comfort in the front and back. Received the highest reliability ratings from consumer reports and Five Stars from the govt crash test ratings.

  • Best MPG vs Dollar Spent - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    Looked at at lot of cars. Found 2009 G6 Sedan with 4 cyl and 6 speed auto trans. I commute 120 miles round trip per day. 1st tank of gas avg 35 mpg for a range of 525 miles. With the blow out prices and warranty and 2 yrs of Onstar,free maint, and free xm radio for 2 yrs. Best bang for the buck

  • 2009 G6 Coupe is sweet ride - 2009 Pontiac G6
    By -

    I used to have a toyota corolla. It was really boring. I just bought this used former rental 09 G6 coupe with leather, sunroof, and alloys a couple months ago for pretty cheap. I have to disagree with the Edmunds review. I love it. The exterior coupe looks sporty, the leather seats are comfortable and have good support, and it rides like a dream. I am getting 27 mpg mixed driving with the V6 3.5. I love the power. It feels good to drive an American car that has a lot of power, gets good gas mileage, and is fun to drive.
