2006 Pontiac G6 GT review from North America
"Buy it for the looks, keep it for the MPGs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only put 5k miles on this car. The only thing I have noticed is that both of the seat belts get wet when it rains hard, or I go through the car wash. I have read on other reviews that this has something to do with the drain for the sunroof. I have yet to take it in.
General comments?
I bought this car to replace my 2002 Trailblazer. I wanted something that was faster and handled better in traffic. I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed the gas mileage that I was getting. 30.1 MPG at last check. My commute is 55 miles one way, and is all highway driving. Nice switch from the TB that got about 18 MPG.
The seats are pretty comfortable. I have only sat in the back once, and only for about one mile though. I am 6' 1" and they seemed to be OK. I have yet to put a car seat in the back, that might be a tight fit.
Remote start and heated leather seats are GREAT.
