Used 2005 Pontiac G6 Sedan Consumer Reviews
This is a fun car!
I was attracted by the design and the fact that it is GM. I guess I want GM to succeed. I looked at all the similar Japanese models & domestics, even looked at a LaCrosse. This is a replacement for my '00 Intrigue that I loved, so the LaCrosse seemed about just right. After 3 wks I have over 2200 mi. on the G6 and I have no major complaints about it so far. With GM employee discount, $1K for being an Olds owner, & points on my GM card, I paid about $20K for this G6 GT that had a sticker price of about $28K. I hope after 30K mi., I'm not disappointed. Time will tell. The dealer experience was great; they went out of their way to find me the exact car I wanted, brought it from 200 mi. away.
New Pontiac Owner, formerly Chrysler
I never thought of owning anything but top of the line Chrysler, my previous vehicle being a 1996 LHS, leather interior, etc. However, I had sore knees from them being against the dash all the time because I am so short. I love how the pedals and the steering wheel come to me on the Pontiac G6 and I can now drive in complete comfort with my legs and arms outstretched. I love the way it handles and its sporty look. After 20 years with the Chrysler dealership out of town, I am now converted to a dealer in my own town who showed me this great little GT and let me drive it - well, one like it. Loved it so much, had the dealer trade for one in a neighboring town (they had none left).
Love this car
Car will take off,Just love the inside,lots of room in the truck.Need to make lots more like this.
Steering Wheel Problems
My husband and I purchased the g6 gt less than one month ago. It was love at first sight until it was time to parallel park on the streets of New York/New Jersey (which is a must living in the City). After a few left and right turns the wheel suddenly got extremely stiff that it was nearly impossible for my 6'3" 200 lbs husband to turn the steering wheel any further to park properly. Took the car back to the dealer to have it tested and he found the same problem. He contacted GM about problem waiting for a response since it seem to be a manfacture problem. The dealer also test another car but the wheels were not as stiff.
Rating Pontiac G6GT
We have only had this car for two months but have thoroughly enjoyed it. A very comfortable car that rides and handles well on both highway and city streets. The 3.5 V6 is more than adequate considering the size of this car. Mileage has been averaging 22 mpg with approximately 33% of all driving on a freeway. The GT model purchased came with almost everything we wanted as standard. Back seats very comfortable with plenty of floor space. Trunk space is large and can be expanded with fold down rear seating. The car is designed with very attractive lines. At this point we are very pleased with our decision to buy it.
New Car
We bought this car brand new with 12 miles on it, then we had to take it to the dealership twice with a problem of power steering going out, when we told them the doors leaked, they told us they could not help that, it was a problem that would take time due to not having parts. Within the next couple of weeks she got a letter in the mail that said an ignition starter had to be replaced. The car is still a pain in the butt, when it's raining the top lights leak the doors leak into the floor board, and currently I'm in the market for a new car because, i went to the dealership for the same power steering problem, and now the ABS box is fried. Do not purchase one. Worst decision we made!
New G6
I am thrilled with the combination of comfort inside and sporty styling outside. The car is loaded and under $30K. The interior feels roomy and very comfortable front and back. The head room in the back is not as generous, but a small price to pay to get the cool panoramic roof. You could get picky with it could have this or that, but I think you would have to jump-up to $40k to get it. They got it right.
pontiac G6
I love this car! There is plenty of storage room in the trunk. I opted for the regular sun roof and there is plenty of room for my 6'2 husband to sit in the back. The exterior has a sporty look, unlike most other sedans. And it handled great it the snow.
Best Pontiac I Ever Owned
This is my wife's car but I drive it every chance I get. This is our 8th Pontiac, and I would rate it the best. No body side molding, 17 inch wheels make for excellent cornering and panoramic roof is a lot of fun. I'm 6'2 and it has more than adequate leg room. It looks fairly small from the outside but the cabin is quite large. Adjustable pedals and telescoping steering wheel would make it hard for anyone not to find a comfortable driving position.
This car is GREAT!
I really like my new G6. I also own a 02' Grand Am GT. I still like the Grand Am but the G6 rides smoother, handles better, has more power, is more comfortable, and just seems to have a higher level of build quality. Im a manufacturing engineer and I look for all the little mistakes people make when they bolt, weld or snap parts together - so far I can't pick out any issues on my G6. My drive to and from work just got a lot better.
