Review

For all of you who have wrote bad reviews about the car, you must not know how to drive. Ive drove my 07 G6 115,000mi in two years. The only two problems I had were dirty fuel injectors and the cadilac convertor was replaced. Finally, after 115,000 the struts are starting to go bad but thats because of all the pot holes. The car runs great, looks great, handles great and im thinking about upgrading to an 09. If you have break problems with only 10,000mi maybe your slamming on the brakes too much and overheating the rotors...

Fun enough, but not impressed

2007 Pontiac G6 GT 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I bought this car 3/2008 used with 29000 miles but I am starting to worry about problems. My trip odometers reset on their own and a few months ago I noticed rotten egg smell and it started to guzzle gas like no tomorrow (I have to get gas 2x/week when I used to 1x/wk). Burning smell/rotten egg smell with hard acceleration. Sunroof squeaks and interior side panel rattles. However, I do enjoy driving fast and keeping up with all the other "racers" out on the road. But the longer I drive, the slower the car seems to accelerate. Overall its a nice fun car to drive, but doesnt seem as reliable as it should be.

Favorite Features

sunroof, Monsoon audio system, 221 HP V6, looks good with tinted windows and tailights

Suggested Improvements

better quality inside and out, better factory warranty, aux input jack, better exterior styling, get rid of huge blindspots, should come with dual exhaust, single exhaust should be sportier

I Love my G6!

2007 Pontiac G6 Value Leader 4dr Sedan w/1SV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I have had my G6 for almost two years and I love it! I paid for the extended warranty, just in case, and have never had to use it once. Rotate the tires, change the oil...that's it. My only complaint is the terrible wind noise when just the rear windows are down. It's awful! Just never do it and problem solved.

Favorite Features

My rear passengers can't believe all the leg room. Love the cool look of all the silver trim pieces. Reminds me of a cockpit. I would definitely buy another!

Suggested Improvements

I bought the value package (still nicely equipped). If I want improvements, I'll trade up to to a better trim package.

2007 base v6. Great!

2007 Pontiac G6 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

My base 3.5L v6 sedan, pretty well optioned. Owned Camaros before this. Loved the looks, safety, options for the price. MSRP $21,800, paid $16,500 before tax with haggling and incentives. I have had it for 1.5 years and ~25,000 miles, No issues. Not sure everyones issue with fuel, being a base I have a 3.05 final drive, maybe that helps but I see 22- 24 city, and 28-32 logged and calculated by hand. Not bad for a midsized car, that is roomy enough for my 6'5" guy. Yet still has some enough power to actually pass people with ease on the road. Is the interior top of the line? No, but its not bad. Its plastic and fake leather, like every other car under $30k. Cheap/fast/economic

Favorite Features

Power(has some balls), Room(has room so driver doesn't crush the previous balls while driving), Looks great, Fuel mileage (not sure why people complain about this)(224 hp, 3350# car, 22-24 city, 28-32 highway calculated by hand every fill up. I don't rely on DIC. Better then wifes Z24

Suggested Improvements

-Trunk opening, but I was always spoiled with hatchbacks. -6 speed tranny for even better highway mileage and performance. I think the 3.6L already has a 6-speed auto now. -Factory Aux input, but standard on 2k8s.

2nd review after 40,000 miles

2007 Pontiac G6 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

Don't get me wrong I love this car for some reason mostly cause of the looks! but I'm a car guy so I can't ignore the fact that this car is mediocre. Its leaps and bounds better than the grand am, but If you consider other cars in this class it is not on there level in refinement. suspension noise is too pronounced and is a bit underdamped. the car is not agile at all and drives big, although the steering is good. The stock stereo is crap and if you get an aftermaket unit you lose the trip computer big flaw. this car makes too many noises which effects the perception of quality. That said the car is sold it just does its job and nothing more, its like a Gap model with a personality flaw.

Favorite Features

exterior styling, steering, engine, Reliability, red interior lighting, interior room for its size, front seats, paint job, the cool factor of this car, the seats are supportive and comfortable.17in wheels, did I say styling! The fact that not everyone knows what it is. A good used car! big on value

Suggested Improvements

suspension noise, road noise, too many cheap and missalined plastics. steering wheel is too big, work on the suspension for better handling, viability, better cloth fabric, rear center arm rest, pair the 6speed auto with the 3.5 engine, the car would get better acceleration and fuel economy.

Such a Shame

2007 Pontiac G6 GTP 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Review

It is such a shame that this car is so awful, I love this car, but it is a rolling junk heap. It looks great, and it is a good thing that the monsoon stereo is awesome, b/c it drowns out alot of the popping and cracking the car makes, from the dash to the, rear end to the steering column, to the sunroof, oh my at the noises!!! I am so disappointed, I need to trade it in, but I can't b/c I am so upside down in the payment. Dealerships and GM do nothing to resolve issues. I really love the car but it has so many problems, gas smell inside, stalling out, back firing, everything rattles, brakes, rotors, you name it. I have always driven Chevy's and love them, I will never own another Pontiac!!

Favorite Features

I love the panoramic sunroof, although it is noisy. I love the pep, the style, the red interior lights and the sound system. It is a very fun car to drive when you are not worried about it leaving you stranded. The car rides smooth and handles well. I just don't trust it and I don't feel safe.

Suggested Improvements

I would keep the radio, the sunroof, the interior ( minus all the nasty plastic)scrap the rest! Did I mention that shutting the back passenger door, it dented in. Give me a break, I have owned a Monte Carlo, Blazer, Tahoe, Avalanche, and the G6. I love Chevy's, but I will never buy another Pontiac.

2007 Pontiac G6 GT 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I bought the 2007 gt coupe edition brand new in late 06. Since then, I have had nothing but compliments on it. I really do love the car, but I had a recall on the door drains though, and now when there is a good storm, afterwards my speakers crackle and don't work right. I have been back and fourth with the dealership and they can't find anything wrong! They just keep replacing the speakers. If it weren't for that I would absolutely love the car!!! everything else has been fine so far and there are 34,000 miles on it. Well you can't have your cake and eat it too I guess!

Favorite Features

The orange leather seats. The silver metallic paint. The sunroof. The stereo system (when it works) The power it has for a 6 cyl.

Suggested Improvements

SPEAKER SYSTEM!!!!

Desperate for help

Review

I do love my G6. The handling is great, love the way the steering feels. My complaint seems to be an isolated one, but I have had mine in for repair over 10 times. The SES light keeps coming on. Doesn't seem to drive differently when it does, just annoying. GM has not been cooperative. I suggest going with an auto make who cares more about their customers.

Favorite Features

Steering.
