Used 2006 Pontiac G6 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Stay away from 2006 Pontiac G6 - JUNK!
I found a 2006 Pontiac G6 for my daughter that seemed to be a good car for the price. A year later I am faced with a $1100 repair to change the power steering assist motor and steering column because of a known GM problem with these type of steering systems. The Cobalt, G5, and numerous others are already on recall. Do your homework, better than that buy a Ford. What a piece of junk!
No compaints
This is my first car, and it still drives fine. I've had one odd repair needed, where a brake caliper had to be rebuilt, but that's because i ride the brakes, and i did it to myself. Car handles well, and can give you pick up when you need it. Very logical car, and would suggest to anyone looking for a well-priced quality car. People seem to be complaining a lot, but I'm a teenager and mine works fine for me. It isn't a Lexus, don't expect one when you buy it, but its a more than capable alternative. Make sure you rotate tires on time with this one though, seeing as how its FWD, and your front wheels do the majority of the braking. It's a good car, don't let others tell you different.

All in all, pretty content
Bought this vehicle wrecked and replaced front end. Four months later the brakes locked up and I wrecked, having to replace the front end again. If you keep it out of sticky situations, it's a good car. Intake is really low on it as well, so its best to not take it through a deep puddle. Wheel bearings are out at 70,000 miles too. I like the vehicle and reliability, but it's best to invest some money in new brakes and such when you buy one. All wrecked G6s are wrecked in the front, making me think other people have had the same problems with their brakes. But, I think any vehicle is going to give you some problems.
Wouldn't suggest
I've had more problems with this car in two years than any other vehicle I've owned. It has left me stranded on the highway twice. Do not like the 17" low profile tires that cost more to replace than my truck tires do. With only 24,000 miles I've spent over $2500 keeping this car on the road. It's comfortable and roomy but that is all that this car has going for it. It's not the economy making GM go under. It's GM's inferior products. I'm looking at trading it in before it leaves me stranded once again.
Good fo rmoney, but
I have it used - 35,000. Right after 5000 miles i got engine light ON. It was error from gas tank sensor. Then i begin to see my stop light is ON all the time. When i got 73,000 miles my transmission messed up - hard shifting. All of this problems GM dealer cannot to fix! They are don't know how!
