Great deal on a fun car!

2009 Pontiac G6 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I have had this car for 4 months now and am very happy. The car rides exceptionally well, is fun to drive, and smooth on the freeway. The 4-cyl engine is adequate for my needs and gets fairly good gas mileage. I love the sunroof and the car looks great with the rear spoiler. This is my first car with Onstar and the navigation turn by turn directions are very convenient, especially when looking for a particular restaurant around town. Overall, this car has great value and I'm pleased with my purchase.

Favorite Features

Sunroof, Onstar, spoiler, gas mileage.

Suggested Improvements

The interior has way too much hard plastic. The radio controls seem outdated for a 2009 model.

2009 Pontiac G6 New Value Leader 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

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.

Review

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".

Favorite Features

Stereo, performance. Roomy

Suggested Improvements

GET RID OF THE FREAKIN PLASTIC. Make Doors that don't sound "tinney" when shutting. Feels too cheep

Pontiac builds excitement

Review

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, haven't found the limits of this car, yet. From what I've experienced, however, I expect the G6 to perform well in an emergency evasive maneuver. I'm 6'2" 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.

Favorite Features

Driver information system integrated controls and display thru radio: Simple to operate and easy to view.

Suggested Improvements

Keep building Pontiacs. Not enough people even considered these cars because of media (where do they get these guys from, anyway?) bias for foreign cars. I considered the import competition, too, but they didn't measure up to the price/performance ratio of the Pontiac G6.

Drive Excitement!

2009 Pontiac G6 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

Bought this after looking at the Ford, Nissan, Chevy, and Hyundai models that compete. With the $3,200 GM rebate and the $4,500 "clunker cash" rebate, we drove out way below the other models. Only 600 miles on it so far. Suspension seems tight, handling is sporty, interior is gorgeous, exterior is very appealing. Getting 25 mpg in town. Have not been on the interstate yet. Love the XM satellite radio and the built-in phone. Also have the OnStar. Just touch a button to activate the phone and speak out the number! Wonderful machine. Our 3rd Pontiac and loving it!

Favorite Features

XM radio; hands-free phone; OnStar system; sporty ride and handling.

Suggested Improvements

More cupholders; better rear visibility; why not make the driver's seat fully electric instead of a pull- bar for the fwd-aft movement?

Review

I replaced my old truck with the G6. Dealer gave great incentives plus CARS program $3500. Leather interior is comfortable, sunroof works great. Like the 4-cylinder for smoothness and enough power. Getting 32 MPG on the highway at 65 MPH. Plenty of room for me (6'3', 250 lbs.) in back seat. The radio is okay - Works well with my iPod. Happy with it so far.

Favorite Features

Driving position, remote start, handling, 4-person car

Suggested Improvements

Upgrade radio to one with MP3 disc and USB
