Used 2006 Pontiac G6 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Buyer Beware!
I've had my 2006 Pontiac G6 for almost 5 years. Very disappointing and lots of maintenance issues beginning at 12,000 mi. Engine, electronic steering, wheel, and paint issues. Very cheap interior plastic parts that continue to break or pop off, condensation in headlight, and now CD player has quit working altogether. I take care of the cars I buy but this one has been non-stop repair bills.
a Pontiac convert
Never before interested in Pontiacs, until this model series. There is something interesting and refreshingly unPontiac about every aspect of the GTP GT (sedan). Peformance, comfort, ergonomics and seductive appearance make this care a gem. This car has the best of Italian and Japanese aesthetics. If I had been told that this was an 80's Maserati compact GT replica, I'd have fallen for it. This is the best looking 4 pass sports sedan made by either Ford or GM.

I LOVED my GTP but now she's gone
I bought this car used in Feb. '07 and lost it in an accident July '08. It was quick and accelerated smoothly, performed well both on the city streets and on long trips. Very nice stereo system-great bass. Minor drawback is some of the paint chipped off the radio's on/off button and the knobs/buttons in general seemed a bit cheap. Mileage averaged approx. 19 in city and 23 highway. In these times of high gas prices, one might struggle between choosing this higher performing car versus a more efficient auto. I had my fun but have now concluded I must choose a more economical vehicle; however, I will never forget my Pontiac G6 GTP.
Pontiac GTP
We love our new G6 GTP. The car has lots of power and the exterior looks great, very sporty. My neighbors can't believe it's a Pontiac. From the outside the car looks smaller than it really is. In fact it is as big as the Camry and Accord, but you would never guess it due to the sleek low profile. The best attribute of the GTP is the power and sporty ride. Also love the panoramic sunroof which makes this 4 door sedan almost a convertable This is no boring Camry, but it is also not as refined or quiet as the Toyota or Honda. The interior has also been greatly upgraded, but again not to the standard of the Japanese. If you want a sporty family sedan, the G6 GTP is a great choice.
Poor Reliability Ruins A Great Car
The G6 is the right size and fun to drive. Gas mileage is above average. Reliability is a major problem: Brakes,rough idle, spark knock, Frequent engine light and airbag light issues, Front suspension parts wearing out early etc. Add that the dealer only provides a temporary fix, so you have to take it back again and again for the same problem. I have lost count of how many times it has been in for warranty work. I know it is over 14 times in less than 2 years. If it was reliable, it would be a great car. Maybe the base cars are better. This GTP has not. I have owned many new Pontiacs and this G6 has been the worst for repairs. Choose the Grand Prix instead. It appears to be more reliable.
