Anyway, I submitted an email indicating that I was interested in what their best out the door price on a specific car. Of course, I didn't get the out the door price...but was quoted a price that did not include TTL. ... Read More

  I purchased a 2006 Pontiac G6 in Sept.05. I really love the car and it rides very smoothly, but I have been having battery problems since I bought it. The battery died in Dec.05, I had it jumpstarted and took it to the dealer the next day. They couldn't find anything wrong with it. Nothing was left on. Two weeks later the battery was dead again. I had it towed to ... Read More

Pontiac G6: Real World MPG

• Poor Gas Mileage?

  Written by: spsmith on Aug 22, 2006 3:24:20 PM

  Help! I am frustrated with the gas mileage I am getting with my 2006 G6. I average about 22-23 with mostly highway miles (70/30). The car has about 4500 total miles with one oil change, 17" wheels and automatic. The axle ratio is 3.05. Can anyone tell me if the mileage improves? The best I got one time from a road trip was 25. I like the car otherwise, our fifth ... Read More

  Hi joniv. It is definitely possible to get a bad deal on a lease. This does not necessarily mean that you did. If you were able to get your Pontiac G6 Convertible through GM's Supplier Purchase Program, you actually probably got a very good deal on it...at least on its selling price. GMAC's base lease rate on the 2006 G6 Convertible is 4.95%. Make sure that the dealer that you are ... Read More

  I don't get it. Why would Pontiac sell the highest end version of the car -- the hard top convertible -- but not sell it as at GTP? Only as a GT. Do I have this right? Seems like odd marketing to me. I have a 2006 GTP sedan and tried to buy the top of the line.
