Could be great if GM really tried

I'm at the end of a 3 year lease on my G6. The car has, at times, been quite fun to drive but at others it has been completely maddening. I've already replaced the rack & pinion once, the 6 cd changer once, and the brakes have been problematic from the start, from squeals to shudders. Electrical issues are popping up now, and I just hit 27k on my car. This car drives and handles like a dump truck. Replacing the stock tires with helped, but not completely. Car has been to the dealer several times but nobody wants to find out what is causing the suspension/brake issues. Won't buy GM for a while, and I've been a fan all my life.

I got my 2005 g6 last night. Even in this short amount of time I have noticed several things. I am no stranger to gm I had an Aztek before this car and the Aztek was a GREAT car. As far as this g6 goes I'll have to agree with many of you on several things. First being the rattle..When you go over a speed bump it sounds like my tires are going to spin off. It creaks and moans like an old house when driving. Yes, the sunroof is awesome but i just hope it won't leak and that was one of my firsts questions , I was advised that I had nothing to worry about when in fact I'm still almost certain I'll have water inside my car.

I bought this car last night, and I am nothing but impressed. I saw a commercial for it, and I had to have one. I traded a truck and was afraid of losing space, but I did not lose a thing! This car handles great and is so much fun to drive!

I've driven my G6 for 9 months now, and it's good and bad. It has some power, but the mileage isn't as good as the competition. The interior is poorly made, most of the buttons do not display their purposes anymore. Electrical issues for practically the whole time I've owned it.

I bought my Pontiac G6 almost 2 years ago & absolutely loved it. My husband is 6'9" & could fit in it nicely, loved the sporty feel of it but you can't drive fast with the windows down because of the loud humming noise. About 6 months after, we began our many trips to the dealership for new struts, squeaky driver seat and now lower control arm and ball joint on both sides & swaybar. I'm very thankful I bought an extended warranty. I have always owned GM vehicles but with the problems I've had with this car and the trouble I've had with more than one GM dealership, I will NEVER buy GM again and my grandfather and mother-in-law both retired from GM. This car was my worst purchase in my life!
