Awesome GXP Street Edition Sedan

GXP Street Edition, 12/22/2007
2008 Pontiac G6 GXP 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

This car replaced a 2005 Altima 3.5SL - The Pontiac has a taut smooth ride that doesn't feel too harsh. The transmission is very smooth shifting and the engine turns low rpms at highway speeds in 6th! Interior is very nicely appointed and feels contemporary with a European influence. The longer wheelbase on this car compared to many of its' direct competitors gives the Pontiac a more refined ride and drive. Great build quality and a quiet interior makes for a stress free ride! Plenty of power on tap for any situation will put a smile on your face. All this at a very competitive price. Pontiac hit a home run with this GXP package! You can't go wrong with this vehicle in your garage

I purchased this car as a used rental, and after a quick trip to the dealership to get the warranty items fixed, the G6 purrs. I love this car. There were 2 necessities, when I made the purchase. Performance and leg room for a big guy at 6'2". This Sedan was the perfect choice. I had no intention on walking in and buying this car, but after the test drive I knew I had to have it. I'm tired of Hondas (Buy American), and I used a Camry for a rental, wishing the whole time I had my G6. Best part, I can now add my own features.. Sun roof, turbo and low pro tires to keep the look of this car stylish. I don't plan on trading this one in - very dependable..

I've owned my 3.5L G6 V6 for two years now and bought it with 41,000 mi on the od, it now has 72,000 mi. The only problem I've had drivetrain wise were a 2 month old set of Bosch Platinum 4-post spark plugs failing me one after another (wouldn't recommend them). I average about 21.5 mpg due to mostly stop and go but at low traffic times I get about 18 city and bested 31 hwy on a trip from Tx to WI with family. At about 65,000 mi the steering started clunking due to the intermediate steering shaft which I had replaced and the rear passenger side door lock stopped working, other than that I've had no problems with the car. Its quick when you need to blast onto the highway 0-60mph in 6.2sec

I love this car. Have had no problems and great gas mileage 24/30+..:) Great design and great to drive. The extra air bags make me feel so safe with my year old daughter! I would love get another one in the future but Pontiac is no longer with us, and i have a feeling this car will last me a long time and the last model (10') will be to old!

At 60k we have replaced various parts related to the transmission, brakes, power steering, CD changer etc. Key fob batteries stopped working within 6 months. Every now and again it simply refuses to start altogether and dealer can't duplicate the problem. We will replace the car as a "fix." We also have strut noises and rattles. Bottom line is that you will the pay the same in the long run as if you bought a Honda Accord by the time you factor in repairs and depreciation. You may get it for much less now, but in the long run you will pay the same and be miserable along the way.
