Used 2006 Pontiac G6 Sedan Consumer Reviews
"Love My G6!!!"
I have owned my G6 for almost 2 years. I still love it. It has great performance,acceleration, and handles curves extremely well. I get around 26 mpg on the highway. Hint: Use a product called STP gas treatment at every other fill up and you will increase your mpg. I can't imagine another car I would rather have. The only thing I would change is the cloth seats, I would rather have the leather ones, they are much more comfortable and durable, but these clean up pretty easy using Blue Coral.. Happy driving!
208,000 miles.
I am the 3rd owner of my GTP with 208,000 miles. There is a reason you always see G6's on the road... they are great cars. Transmission replaced at 140,000. Lots and lots of suspension replaced. But I'm in Minnesota and potholes and rust are our thing. Luckily I do a good chunk of the mechanic work myself, the car is so easy to work on. I have a small oil leak coming out of head gasket ($1400 fix). Disappointing, but she's been around. The interior of these cars (GTP Model, that is) is absolutely immaculate. The leather heated seats and BOSE sound system makes you feel like you're in a Lexus. This car is my absolute baby.

Wonderful Car
If I didn't know much about used cars I wouldn't like this one. I have had some issues, but nothing that wasn't expected out of a vehicle with over 100,000 miles that wasn't maintained properly. Everything still works on it, and nothing major has gone bad. The most I've had to do was replace back rotors and brake pads after I got it because they had been let go for way too long. It's a joy to drive, the perfect balance of feedback and comfort. It has a good pick up to it, and wouldn't have any issues at highway speeds if I didn't have a bent wheel (aftermarket wheels). Even for not being maintained this car is surprisingly sturdy and is still running strong.
NOT TO SHABBY
I bought the car online and after i paid i read all the bad reviews. my experience with the car has be mostly positive the only problem i had was with the brakes. i replaced the brakes myself(ceramics of course)and i replaced the rotors at the same time because of all the reviews about them. i feel if pontiac is more sport orientated they would use some decent rotors. a few other problems ive encountered is my throttle body keeps getting dirty and the car clunks and rattles. for a car with such a big engine it get between 33 and 29MPG (60-90 MPH).the sound system is great. i had to replace the radio(6 disc)and just got an aftermarket and got a device to replace the DIC.all in all a good car
Disappointed
I bought my G6 new and hadn't had any major problems so far, although now after 4 years, the paint is chipping on the radio, small problem, but the radio isn't getting good reception on AM and the CDs are getting stuck. The huge problem is this week - hottest week of the year - the compressor went out on the A/C - unbelievable at 4 years old. I'm wondering what is coming next. My brakes act weird at times also, like when I'm going 50 or so, it is grabbing when I brake. There's a lot of info in here about bad brakes on 2006 G6's.
