Used 2007 Pontiac G6 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Good but not good.
This is all around great car. Pros responsive throttle, great steering and cornering, powerful brakes( though not very responsive pedal feel), comfortable seating, panoramic sunroof, Great visibility while driving/ backing, sounds good accelerating, good mpg~27 highway (15-16 city) ABS. That’s the end of the pros. Cons: panoramic sunroof leaks on front passenger seat whenever it rains, water pumps and coolant crossover pipe gaskets are consumables, rear brake calipers are a non standard worm gear( went to a shop without the tool who used c-clamps and now my repair bill is $500), parking/ebrake is self tightening by the worm gear so you lose ebrake/parking brake too when above happens( live in hilly area, be a shame if the car gets bumped out of park and sent down the hill), the radio has no Bluetooth or aux connection, remember how I said the throttle was responsive it is also very touchy wanting to downshift at the slightest touch, tires this thing is a tire burner $700 bucks of Falken pro g4 a/s every 2’1/2 years, strut tower creaks like mad, no way of lowering the rear seats without opening the trunk. That’s all I have for cons. Good for the teen driver? NO, insurance is as a sports car, yes even the sedan is, plus teen rates is a pricey bill. Midlife crisis on a budget, sure. It’s fairly reliable and parts are sortof available. All around a good car. This is also the SE/base trim car( has the 3.5L/4-speed driveline but NOT the GT package). I hope this helps used car searchers.

a sporty and quick ride for great price
I have the base G6 Value Leader and bought it for $6,000 with 150,000 miles on it. I’ve had to replace a camshaft position sensor, VVT solenoids and a door lock switch for very cheap, all so could do on my own. I needed a new serpentine belt tensioner, but otherwise it’s very reliable, and doesn’t burn a drop of oil for over 150,000 miles. It drives very well and no visible rust for spending all its time in the midwest. I’ve driven many newer cars and this G6 is still my favorite. It handles and corners very well, and has excellent get up and go. I got 0-60 mph in 7.0 seconds for a 4 cylinder, which is very quick for a 16 year old car and 2.4 liters. I love this car and it’s fun to drive and very quick from a stop. It feels special to have a fun, practical, reliable, and affordable car from an iconic American brand.

I spent as much in repairs as I did on the car
So I had this car for almost 2 years... and from the week after I bought it... there were nothing but problems. For years I struggled with keeping the check engine light off, they kept saying it was the thermostat and it needed to be replaced.... this was like once every month... then I started having issues with the ac... and I live in texas... black car with black interior on a 103° day in the summer is not acceptable... and the worst part was that they didnt know why it was happening... as far as I could tell it was some how connected with the check engine light because if it was off I had cool air... therefore in the summer I really had to change the thermostat gage once a month... Next in the winter months the heater would just stop working for no identifiable reason. After that also in the middle of winter, I couldn't get the car to switch on... I had to wiggle the steering wheel, jiggle the shifter, and turn the key simultaneously... one day I was stuck at work for 3 hours after closing to get the damn thing to start running.... the colder it was the more of a [non-permissible content removed] it was to get it to start. Next the catalytic converter had to be replaced a 2,000 dollar job..... I poured another 1,500 on the car trying to figure out why the breaks would stick and I would get stuck on the side of the road... not to mention the several times I almost died because there were no ABS breakes and no traction control... and a big down side for me was the speaker system was GARBAGE. Pros to this car are Good gas mileage It is a sporty looking car Comfortable to ride in for long periods And although it was a four banger it was pretty quick (Dont recommend going over 90 mph... the entire car shakes) The car only lasted me to 2017-2018... The entire break system got stuck, so I couldnt drive it and it would have cost 5,000 to fix it...so I let it go. As of 2021 I still have resentments... And I recommend staying as far away as you can from this car, it's a [non-permissible content removed].

Overall Good Car
Have a 2007 4-cylinder with 100,000 miles, mpg good (24 overall), good styling, interior design good although somewhat plasticky, seats uncomfortable, driver's seat motor broke, had $400 emissions issue, steering wheel clunks (dealer says sterring wheel teeth worn, $400, Buicks have same problem), but other than that no major issues, relatively reliable, paint scratches easily, trunk doesn't pop up. Resale value is scary, my trade-in value is $5,000 and I bought car for $21,000 and it's only 4 years old (but miles are high, though). I owe $10,000, so..... s-t-u-c-k with it. :0( It would be a good car to buy used even though Pontiacs aren't made anymore.
2 2007 g6 1 4 door 1 2 door convertible
First car we bought brand new. It now has 41,000 on it and knock on wood not one problem. It has the pano roof which now needs minor adjustment for wind noise no water leaks. We like this car so much we went out and got the same year convertible we like this car as much. I will suggest getting ice and snow tires for the winter.
