2006 Pontiac G6 GT review from North America
"Would not buy a G6 again!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned a 2006 G6 for 19 months now. I don't drive a lot. There are only 11,400 miles on it so far.
I purchased the panoramic sunroof... DON'T DO IT!!! It seemed fine for the first few months, but now all it does it rattle. It does this when it is closed, and the shade is opened. I have had it in 3 times. GM has a service bulletin on it for a fix. But, it only lasts for a while. DON'T GET THE PANORAMIC ROOF IF RATTLES BOTHER YOU.
Also, the battery went dead and had to be replaced (at 11,400 miles). Fortunately the dealer did this as warranty work, so no charge to me.
General comments?
Back seat has very low head room.
Bumps in the road seem more noticeable when sitting in the passenger seat. In general, the passenger seat is more uncomfortable when compared to sitting in the driver's seat.
