2009 Pontiac G6 GXP 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
23 of 23 people found this review helpful
I've owned my GXP since it was a year old, originally a rental. It's not given me any major issues or problems. I take care if it, including changing the full synthetic oil every 3-4k miles and using premium gas most of the time. It never hesitates to take off like a rocket when needed. It handles well and rides quietly with a decent set of tires. Only thing that has happened recently (about 130k miles) was a small leak in the cooling system that I haven't had a chance to check out yet. Besides that, the 3.6L is bullet proof and has been a great car for 8 years now.

I recently purchased a used 2009 pontiac G6 with 33,000 miles. I really wasn't looking for a G6 but when I saw this one and test drove it I couldn't pass it up. All the other cars I test drove in this price range,(between 10,000 and 15,000),didn't even compare. The ther cars lacked in accesories or were much smaller and under powered. The G6 with everything I was looking for in a car plus nice styling and handling. The horse power from the 2.4L ecotec engine won't win any drags but it's no slouch oh the hiway. My family and i took the G6 on a short 200 mile trip just to see how it would do. We only used a Quarter tank of gas the whole trip. Over all a great little car.

I wasn't planning on getting a G6 but when we test drove one at the dealership I fell in love with it. It rides so amazingly, it has every feature I would want and more. The inside is so roomy and it is very sleek looking. It looks great on the outside too. It only gets about 21 mpg but to be honest I could car less because I just love it so much. Seriously best car I have ever owned, too bad Pontiac was discontinued.
Good value for domestic car

We bought the car in June 09 with 5000 miles on it (as a demo) we have put 20,000 more very few issues. Ours has the 2.4 L 4 cyl and 6 speed auto trans, it gets in the low 30's on long distance trips, mid 20's around town 50/50 mix of fwy and city driving. No major issues so far, most recent problem has been some brake issues, but seems to be solved with new pads. The turn signal stalk came loose, replaced under warranty. Only other issue, a speck of rust has started on the trunk lid, will be repaired under warranty also. The car has a muffled rattle in the headliner, our Malibu had one too. This car was loaded up with all of the stuff you could get on a 4 cyl model. It's a keeper.
Good Buy

I bought it new in 2009. It now has 98,000 miles on it, and the only trouble has been intake/exhaust solenoids (due to letting the fuel level sink below the red area and sucking up deposits from the bottom of the gas tank, and the left front wheel bearing/hub going bad. Fuel economy is around 25 mpg. Everything still works, with no issues. We got our money's worth, and gave it to our kid. Still not using any oil between changes (every 3,000 miles since we bought it). We have the 2.4L four cylinder engine.

I ordered a new G6 from my local dealer in October of 2009. I got it about a month later and it came with (black/tan heated leather, power moonroof, spoiler, 17' polished 5 spoke rims, 3.5L V6, AM/FM/XM/CD/AUX radio, Monsoon speaker system, power seat) When I got it I was very surprised. The exterior is beautiful! The interior is very nice too. I took it home and was in shock to find out how well this car handled! The suspension is taught yet soft at the same time! The steering feels like a German sports sedan! It currently has 23K miles on it and has given me no problems at all! I get it professionally detailed every 3 months I detail it myself in between. I love it so much!
A decent "cheap" car

This is a decent car. Not a fan of all the plastic everywhere, and the very thin hollow sound of the doors when you close them, but other than that not a bad car. Key fobs = terrible! They're expensive, and do not last long. The 3.5L has more than enough power, and never ceases to amaze me. Car is VERY quiet; you can barely hear the engine rev. Excellent fuel economy: hwy averages around 28, with as much as 36 on a long road trip. The controls are easy to read, and arranged well. The seats start to get uncomfortable after 5 hours in on a road trip. In short, if you are looking for basic transportation that is dependible and capable of passing slower cars, this is a good choice.

I have had my G6 for about 5 months now and it has 25,000 miles on it. It seems that around the front end where the motor is there is a clunking noise, sounds like the front end is going to drop out. It has nothing to do with the engine it is something else and we can't figure out what it is?..I am a little upset about this problem..

I guess I'm a little heart broken at the lack of quality materials in the interior of the G6. The leather is so thin, I'm almost afraid to touch it. The fact that the sports package included only half electric seats and a horrible handle to move the seats back and forth just floors me. I drove a 99 Olds Intigue GLS with all the bells and whistles, this just doesn't compare. Why did I buy it, Classic exterior look, great engine,good deal for the money,and the fact that GM is GM, and I wanted to stay American with some style.

i received a recall letter for the transmition in Dec 2012. I took my car to the dealership to have the recalled part repaired in March of 2012. Two days after the repair I start experiencing problems with my steering and my power steering went out a week later. After searching the internet i found out that this is a huge problem for this model. I then called Pontiac and they opened a case for this issue. i was advised to take my car to my local dealer and if they advise that it was not due to wear and tear or lack of matianence then they would assist with reimbursement. I took my car to the dealer and was advised that the torque sensor was bad.
One problem after another!!

I have had this car for a year and I can't wait to get rid of it! Bought it used with 40k in June 2010 and after a week noticed that the carpet in the back was wet. Thought it was a seal in the door but a few weeks later I had over an inch of water in the back. STILL having problems a year later! Driver headlight doesn't work, I've had the bulb replaced and wiring tightened, still comes on and off at random. Brake lights stay on all the time, except when I'm USING my brakes! Had the brakelight switch replaced and still not working properly. The silver/chrome interior is peeling and looks horrible. Had a 1999 grand prix that I loved and this car has definitely been a disappointment!!!

Being a totally worshiper of Ford, I was surprised, pleasantly, to discover a new vehicle of non-Ford make to love. Since the test drive I have fallen head over heels for this car. The performance is great, it handles very well and smoothly in all situations. Also it has been very reliable and dependable for me. I was also happily surprised to discover its fuel economy is nothing to frown at either. Overall this car has many perks and great aspects to it.

I bought an 09 G6 GT currently 28400 miles and today it went dead and wouldn't start. I had to call ONSTAR to the rescue, but the tow truck company wouldn't give me a ride so I had to call a friend to get home. A anti theft symbol a (car and lock) showed up on my dash as I was driving along and then my speedometer went crazy and I pulled off the highway thinking I was going to go down and as I expected it wouldn't start again when I shut down.
Not a bad car, I like it.

This car is fun to drive. The engine is powerful. It kinda lack stability when you take of fast. The exterior looks really good, but the interior lacks a lot of options. GM need to step their game up a notch with the pontiac interior. if you want a luxury car, don't buy this. If you want a car with options, don't buy it either. buy the pontiac if you like a smooth sport ride.
Great Car

I purchased the 09 G6 as a replacement for my 07 G6 as the 07 was stolen and totaled. If for a minute I didn't loke the 07 model, I never would have purchased the 09. It is a good looking car and fun tho drive. It has enough power with the 3.5 V6 and handles good. I am so mad that GM stopped making Pontiac. I have owned Pontiac for the last 20+ years, and will miss them. I am still a GM guy, I just have to decide where to go next in the GM family. I remember on a 500 mile trip, I got 30.2 MPG and did not go under 55 MPH, spending much of the time at 70MPH and more. I was impressed with that. OnStar and navigation are useful also. I recommend this car to all!

We needed a winter car as our Mercedes is rear wheel drive. Normally we drive luxury or sporty cars or suvs. We picked this G6 because we like front drive cars on ice or slick roads. We have 2 suvs for deeper snow. For the money this is a nice car. Comfortable, reasonable performance, great economy, decent grownup looks. The seat are nice and I like the Onstar, ipod hookup, traction control and the ride. Quieter and nicer riding than I expected.
Typical GM.

My 2009 G6 base with 2.4 engine. I like Pontiac. I had this car last 4 years. I am at 186K miles. No problem with engine and transmission. But little things like window regulator and suspension was horrible. replaced all the front suspension parts. However I had 5 Pontiacs so far. Reliable powertrain and transmission and looking good. If somebody wants as first car for their kids, this isn't bad. If you want top quality lasting 300,000 without trouble, this is not it. However I just like Pontiac styling.,

Only owned the car for six weeks but it has been great so far. The relatively long wheelbase, for a car in this class, provides excellent ride. Owing to the fat 225/50-17 tires, taunt but compliant suspension and good steering response I, admittedly not a street racer, haven't found the limits of this car, yet. From what I've experienced, however, I expect the G6 to perform well in an emergency evasive maneuver. I'm 6'2" and found the back seat headroom to be adequate and the legroom quite impressive. Originally attracted by the clean, smooth styling and rake of the roofline. Really like the taupe leather interior, heated seats and security of OnStar. 31 mpg so far on a couple trips.

This is my complaint. the shifter does not highlight when in any position,, there is no indicator in the dash to inform you what gear you are in.. Does anyone else have this missing on their G6's

I am currently renting this car. Overall its a very dissapointing car. I normally drive an 2007 Audi a4 and given my A4 only cost me about 5k more then a new G6 GT it feels about 100% better in terms of interior quality, handling and overall build quality. The only thing I am impressed with is the 3.5 V6 which feels a lot stronger then the 219 HP its putting out.

We bought this car used only had a few thousand km on it. Since then we have found that the rims and tires are hard to get. The car is to low in winter this causes damage. Now cylinder 5 has a missfire and the plug broke off in the engine just completly siezed in the engine. Also the front brakes are wearing out prematurly would get rid of it but owe to much on it to trade it in but in a year i will be going ford this car is a total dissapointment. Way to much plastic and the interior feels and looks cheap but the outside looks okay.

I have an Accord. I got this car as a rental while my Accord was in the shop for a few weeks. Wow. Did Pontiac ever try out other cars? The seats were uncomfortable. There was no place to put my sunglasses. Only 2 cup holders. None in the back seats. It has a horrible turning radius. The engine was very nice. Overall, you can do much better than this.

So far we like the G6 we bought it 3 months ago with 25,000 miles and we have put another 1,000 miles on it, one thing I don't like is the hood bumpers keep loosening and the hood rattles, I found out after buying that t has been wrecked on the left front but it's hard to tell. All I know at this point is that it's a base model 2.4 motor it runs alittle rough in the morning but smoths out when it gets worm. I changed the tire size to 235/55-17 and it looks great with the wider tires, my wife wants me to paint it red she hates the white. Is there anything I can do to give it more HP?? I would like to find a rear wing for it (used) if anyone has one email me. Thanks for reading.

I have built and restored cars for 30 tears and have a huge portfolio in hands for anyone to see! It was my best hobby and living it. I bought a G6 2009 4dr sedan fir 5000 from salvage from a friend that do auctions for living. 29000km and still wondering of why it was salvaged as the only thing I had to repair was the passenger back wheel bearing?? . O loved this car so much that I decided to customize it and God I have done it good. My budget was 25000 to do it. I have replaced the seats with leather seats. I have done the top panel in white letter with the trims in carbon fibers( not fake but the one you use for vinyl on car) I have done the top half of the trims on the full inside body in white leather and finished the central light in carbon fiber so the roof and front inside lights control . I have added an Infinity sound system that worked the money paid for 😇 I have power coated the mags I have bought brand new in Transparent copper finish(chrome first and then Transparent copper. I have added 2 air intake but this one is for heat escape. As I have also a very hight knowledge of the high performance mechanic I have rebuilt the motor to have uhm ! A bit more power😉 which have required to also change my cooling fan!🙂 I have fully striped the car fir a new paint meaning changing color from black to a Lexys dark metallic smoke grey and God a thought to add a pearl after all! Did I mentioned to have added a turbo on it?...lol so at the end wirh expensive details like changing all the lights for LED from outside to inside and done forget the Anzo lights from CARID brief if I will be honest, I wouldn't trade that car for no one. I have modify the body so much ! With the aid of Monroe and Michelin I have put spacer 2 1/2 with on the four wheel naturally. This gas went 2 notch higher than the already tight driver this car already has. Too bad I can't put pics on here. Because you will see the back spoiler has turn light now in it instead to be in the back light which we took apart to rebuild it with LED LIGHTS And at the same time created a new crazy pattern with night shade and car drtailling masking tape. Brief I have every heads turning when this gut is on the road or park in front of the house. I have rebuilt cars but never and I meant never I had so much passion to rebuilt a car and I did it with 1948 Ford pick up and many many more but nothing compared to my pleasure to do the G6. Now my kids want it for themselves!!!! Really sons???

recvd car as a rental. It it a very fun to drive car, seats are ok. Driving for long distance is uncomfortable due to too much hard plastic around doors. this car is proof of why American car companies have difficulty competing. After Buying Toyota for my past 2 vehicles. I am not conviced by this to buy anything else. The build Quality is just not there. Car Feels to "cheap".

The Pontiac G6 V6 is far superior to similar models that Japan, Korea or Europe sells in the USA. Great looks, excellent handling, great fuel economy (30+ open road mpg for our 3.5 V6), and overall quality. Another plus, it does not decide to run away by itself, like Toyotas.

I replaced my old truck with the G6. Dealer gave great incentives plus CARS program $3500. Leather interior is comfortable, sunroof works great. Like the 4-cylinder for smoothness and enough power. Getting 32 MPG on the highway at 65 MPH. Plenty of room for me (6'3', 250 lbs.) in back seat. The radio is okay - Works well with my iPod. Happy with it so far.

I have had this car for 4 months now and am very happy. The car rides exceptionally well, is fun to drive, and smooth on the freeway. The 4-cyl engine is adequate for my needs and gets fairly good gas mileage. I love the sunroof and the car looks great with the rear spoiler. This is my first car with Onstar and the navigation turn by turn directions are very convenient, especially when looking for a particular restaurant around town. Overall, this car has great value and I'm pleased with my purchase.

Bought this after looking at the Ford, Nissan, Chevy, and Hyundai models that compete. With the $3,200 GM rebate and the $4,500 "clunker cash" rebate, we drove out way below the other models. Only 600 miles on it so far. Suspension seems tight, handling is sporty, interior is gorgeous, exterior is very appealing. Getting 25 mpg in town. Have not been on the interstate yet. Love the XM satellite radio and the built-in phone. Also have the OnStar. Just touch a button to activate the phone and speak out the number! Wonderful machine. Our 3rd Pontiac and loving it!

Just purchased this G6 GT used with 31,000 miles. Still has factory warranty (which is good because it's used) So far so good! Have yet to hear any squeaks or rattles. The ride is smooth and the steering is responsive. Comfortable seats, with good side support. I LOVE the engine. Its a 3.5 liter V6 and it provides a lot of pep! The exterior styling is classy, yet sporty. The monsoon stereo sounds great. My only gripe is the interior build quality. There is too much hard plastic, and the doors sound very cheap when you open and close them. Some switches and controls are loose or seem very fragile. Also, the shifter feels cheap going in and out of gear. Lack of cargo space for storage too.
