I owned a convertible Beetle before the G6 and I am so glad I made the trade! I bought a silver 2005 GT sedan with 16k miles. Although I miss the convertible, I love my G6. I consistently get 25 mpg city and 34+ highway; I got around 18 city in a 4 cyl Beetle. Very spacious and comfy. Handles great and it's very fun to drive. Doesn't feel like a sedan at all. The Beetle felt like a $25k go- kart compared to the G6.
Solid all around..has trans issues

I bought this car in October '21 with 180K miles. Solid driving car on both highway and city drives. I have had to replace some wheel bearings on the front driver wheel, replace the electric window motor on the driver side, and replace the water pump (Autozone is a godsend for parts, and I got lucky to find a solid and fair mechanic). Sadly as of 6/2022, the EVAP issues and the transmission issues got to be too much and the car stalled out multiple times, even after a purge valve, a shifter cable, and the starter were all replaced. Pros- Comfortable Ride Good maneuvering Has moon roof. Heated seats Can fit tall people inside. Cons- Hard to see behind the car when backing up due to the elevated rear. Bumpy ride sometimes (namely potholes and unpaved roads). TRANS ISSUES. EVAP issues that make the gas mileage horrible (15 mpg? Nah).

I purchased a new G6 in early 2005. It is very sporty looking and I get lots of comments on the appearance. Appearance aside, I have had nothing but problems out of the car. It was in the shop within the first two weeks having a new amp installed because the original quit working. The drivers side sunvisor broke, the cupholder in the backseat broke, the automatic lock on the passengers door did not work and had to be fixed, a clicking sound on the drivers door was fixed, a new starter was installed, and the sunroof had to be fixed because of a constant rattle. Purchasing this car has definitely made me decide to never purchase another Pontiac again.
Do not buy this car

I bought a used G6 GT last March and have had nothing but problems with car. First the paint started to chip off the car. Then the break lights started to work opposite (not consistently) which made it almost impossible to have fix. I ended up buying a new BCM (600.00 computer) at 34K. After this, my CD changer broke and I had that replaced. I also replaced the brake pads and both outer tierods and tires (which wore out because of the tierods). Now the power shifts when the car is driving. The lights on the dash will surge to the radio and the rest of the vehicle. The radio will also shift from one side to the other. All in 10 months.
Give me a brake....job!

BOOO!!! 1st month = broken wipers, passenger visor broke off into my wife's lap (it wasnt even in use at the time), fog light switch burned out & the brake car shakes when the brake pedal is depressed. After complimentary a brake job, the car still vibrated when I pressed the brakes, just a few miles after leaving the dealership. I cannot wait until my lease is over next year to get rid of this problem car. domestic mess! Oh yeah, power steering is ineffective for first few mins of driving after a cold start on winter morning. I don't let my kids in this car. We take the family SUV, due the G6 brake problems. And I thought motorcycles were dangerous!
