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

Review

Picked out the GTP on test drive. Nice handling car. Kinda cramped for a tall person. I'm 6'4" and can drive in it somewhat comfortably. Headlights maybe need a little more power or maybe adjusted to cover more range. Moonroof and Monsoon radio were nice add-ons.

Favorite Features

Acceleration from a 6 cylinder in the car is nice. Took it on closed course south of the border and car accelerates as fast from 70-100 as 30-60 seems like. It's a screaming 6 cylinder.

Suggested Improvements

I noticed a "thump" in steering when test driving. Thought maybe it was just tires on a bump. Got curious and was researching the car. steering shaft needed lube. beware. different problems on different models.

Review

I've had my G-6 now for almost a year now. I really like the way it handles in town. All controls are easy operate. Very roomy in front.

Favorite Features

Good sound system. Fairly good gas mpg on hwy (32 mpg)

Suggested Improvements

I have the model without traction control. Living in Colorado, that feature would really be nice. My last Pontiac (Grand AM) had it, and the traction control came in handy many times. I think every car sold in places with rough winters should have it.

Review

I have had nothing but problems with this car since 2000 miles. Constant vibration and bounce that dealer can't fix. Got GM involved but nothing resolved. Recently had the rotors resurfaced, again, oil level sensor broke, seat weld broke and more rattles. 20,000 miles later and the vibration still there. Finally called a lawyer. I'm just glad I leased! No wonder the big 3 are failing, poor quality and lack of interest in consumers!

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

Review

Living in Fl. I use the retractable hard top often and have never had a problem with it. Although it is a little awkward having to hold a button down for 30 sec. to lower the top. I have had so so gas mileage. My major problem has been with the finish on the hood of the car. It started chipping in November 2007. The dealer fixed it then and said they did the whole hood. Now I am having the same problem in the same spot 8 months later and they want to charge me for the repair. I have read other G6 consumer reviews who have had the same type of problem. Made a complaint to GM Service center but they went along with the dealer and said it was my problem to fix.The finish is poor on the G6.

Favorite Features

Hard top convertible. XM radio and leather interior.

Suggested Improvements

Finish on the car should be improved. Dashboard is cheapened by the use of plastic in place of chrome to frame the display and knobs. Mechanism for trunk takes up too much space and is delicate. Some of the rubber gasket came loose from the trunk cover the first week I owned this brand new car.

Review

Love the car, but...there is a rattle noise in the right rear quarter. Very annoying. Rear back seat rattles also. Sounds like I'm driving a popcorn machine. Rattles occur whether or not top is down. Makes no difference. If you've had this problem and it was fixed, let me know what was fixed. First dealership I took it to had no clue. I now have it at another dealership. Another issue is torque steer. When I get on it, hard to control the steering wheel. Anyone else experience this. Remedy, or than not getting on it? LOL.

Favorite Features

Looks great, really smooth ride, really hugs the road at 85 and 90 mph.

Suggested Improvements

Fix the rattles.

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

Review

I had to have my steering lubed up the first day I got it. Then I had to get the rotors turned. Now I have an antifreeze leak. I got rid of my old Pontiac because it was just having too many problems. Granted it had 150,000 miles on it. But this one is giving me headaches. One problem after another. Im also having problems with the visors coming out. I would do more homework next time before buying any car.

Favorite Features

Love the sunroof. the sportiness of the car.

Suggested Improvements

Change the seat controls to all automatic.

Review

I bought this as a 2007 leftover in April 2008, at a huge savings. I got the Emerald Green, which I have not seen another of and love it. It was peppy when I first got it and is getting even better as I put more miles on it and the mileage is getting better too. The interior is very comfortable and functional as well. Seats are padded well and hold you in place well. The dash is easy to read and controls easy to reach and use. As far at the exterior is concerned, what can I say, I always thought Pontiac made a great looking car with very few exceptions (Aztek). I got remote start, sun and sound package and just want to say, I am very happy with this purchase.

Favorite Features

Panoramic roof, good power and seating comfort well as the sporty look. Handles well with the 17's. the 60/40 rear seat and interior design.

Suggested Improvements

Bigger trunk, although its not real bad it could be larger. I think the tiny hood scoops that are on the 08 GTP model would really have set this car apart. Chrome, instead of the painted alloys would have been good too.

Nice Ride

Vehicle

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

Review

This car rides smooth and engine is high performing. It's easy to do much higher than speed limit due to how smooth ride is. Handles very well. Sporty feel while still able to bring the kids along with four doors. I checked on Nissan Altima but no head room for a 6'2" person. I had a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT for 7 years before I bought this car. I was not impressed with new Grand Prix models and the engines offered. Was very impressed that I could get the 224 HP engine in the G6. I get compliments on the look of car all the time. Real sharp with the nice alloy 17 inch rims. Only wish this version had the manual shift option like the GTP. Sporty car with plenty of style.

Favorite Features

remote start, heated seats, sporty look of exterior and interior (chrome), rims, engine performance, bucket seats (only wish I had gotten leather), XM radio,local dealership offers free oil changes for life with this purchase

Suggested Improvements

Turn radius is poor on U-Turns, would be nice to have input jack for MP3 player on radio (I think this is available on 2008 model)

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

Review

I needed a great used car and my salesman found this one that had low miles, chrome wheels, and a sun roof. Sounds cheesy, but every time I see my car, I am stoked to drive it! Looks awesome and I've gotten many compliments. Rides great, quick pickup when entering highways. Has a roomy backseat that my friends said was more comfortable than they expected.

Favorite Features

The sunroof and the white color. It is so great to put the windows down and open it all up on a sunny day. I'm moving to Florida and this car is perfect!

Suggested Improvements

I'm short, so there are a few blind spots that I always need to be aware of. NEEDS an AUX input! I can't believe I can't use my Ipod, bummer!

Great Value

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

Review

My wife and I replaced her 2000 Grand Prix GTP coupe with a a 2007 Blue-Gold Chrystal Metallic G6 GTP sedan. Through the first 7200 miles we've taken it on one road trip thus far and achieved an average of 30.6 mpg. Overall my wife and I are happy with the G6 GTP. However, the steering rack had to be replaced (warranty). The steering rack replacement was painless and took just one day (great local dealer).

Favorite Features

The powertrain is wonderful. The car is fun to drive for what it is (I have a modified 2004 GTO for spirited driving). The automatic climate control and leather seats are also a plus.

Suggested Improvements

I would like to have a couple of memory settings for driver seating settings.
