2006 Pontiac G6 GT from North America - Comments

I have had no problem, what so ever. I do not think I will either.

The best car I have ever owned, and this makes my 23rd car.

The Pontiac G6 is amazing, bottom line. There is no comparison. I traded in my Toyota Camry in August 2005 for this car. I was very skeptical. However, I have learned that this is the better car. I don't keep cars that often, but I will keep this one. I drive like a MADMAN! The Camry couldn't handle me, but this car does well. The engine power is great and the brakes are even better. Even driving like this, I get the great fuel economy listed on the sticker. Not to mention, the fuel gauge is accurate, when it is full, it is on F, not two inches past F. I love the panoramic sunroof. I was skeptical because of what the journalists were saying, but now I know they just don't like US cars.

Favorites: EVERYTHING! The engine, the brakes, the awesome sound system, XM, on-star, 18 inch rims, panoramic sunroof, comfortable interior, ample space, built like a tank.

And I wouldn't change a thing on this car!

I am an owner of a G6 as well and would agree that the journalists hate American cars. My daughter, who was a Honda prelude owner, loved my car and said it shifted better than hers (I agreed). I have not driven a better car in its price range, yet. All my passengers love the car too! All around, you can't beat it!

The G-6 is definitely as good as (probably better) than the vastly over-rated Japanese competition. I've driven several Pontiacs over the years and currently drive a beautiful bright red Grand Am. I test drove the G-6 and was impressed with the car except that the new styling is just so plain looking and no sporty colors are offered. Hopefully Pontiac will do something to remedy these deficiencies in an otherwise great new car.

I own a 2006 G6 with a panoramic sunroof. I love the car with the exception of the wind noise from the sunroof. It is so bad that it whistles. It has been in the shop 5 times since march. I have only 7000 miles on it. I'm in the process of asking GM to buy it back from me. Has anyone been thru the buyback process? I do believe that this problem is a fluke and I will buy another with a panoramic sunroof, just maybe it will be the GTP this time. If anyone has info that can help me, please send it to joanelmore@yahoo.com.

The panoramic sunroof is a NIGHTMARE of poor design. It CAN'T be made air-tight and will most likely let water in also. Whoever came up with that design should be fired. Expect MUCH more negative reviews about these things. I test drove a GT with the sunroof and it also whistled and roared. I don't see any way they could be made to work. We bought a Ford.

I bought my pontiac G6 GTP convertible 1 month ago. This car is wonderful. When you have the top down you can talk to each other in a normal voice and hear each other very clearly. The acceleration is wonderful. The instrument layout is great. I would recommend this model to anyone who wants to have a fun car and smart looking to boot!

Totally agreed. You could not go wrong with this wonderful car, same goes for its sister, the Saturn Aura. The panoramic sunroof is a great idea, but rather expensive. I opted for the regular sunroof. It's big enough for me and goes fine. My wife has an Aura XR with a panoramic and has none of those problems. Perhaps they corrected it.

And I'm sure the buyback process will go fine. General Motors is very good at taking car of America and the consumers!

I bought a 2005 G6 in July. Yes my panoramic sunroof whistles also! Yesterday was the first good steady rain since I bought the car. It started leaking out of the click light on the ceiling and when I got in it this morning half of the driver's floor mat was soaked (and my windows weren't down). We are taking it to the shop tomorrow, but I am very apprehensive at this point.

I have a 2006 Pontiac GTP, and it's almost 1 yr old. It has been in the shop in Feb. about the sunroof. Yes it clicks, rattles, and sounds like it will come off when you open it. The dealer tries to fix the problem, but every time they do it, something else is wrong, like usual. They have also ordered parts, etc, that did not work. Let's just say it's been in the shop for almost 6 to 8 times. The noise is getting on my freaking nerves. So I just file a lemon law on my car, and as of today it is still in process. I filed at the end of Oct, GM received the letter back Nov. 06, no response after I called and made the appointment for the final repair. As of today still haven't heard anything. So it's been almost 45 days when is the time of filing a claim. I'll be glad when a resolution come about. I will like a replacement, but w/out the panoramic sunroof. Hopefully I will know something by christmas.

I own a 2005 Pontiac G6, GT. It's a fun car. The only problem I have had is that the battery went dead at 37,000 miles. Otherwise, for the price, 30 MPG (even with a lead foot), great stereo system...it's a great car for the money. Sporty, safe, great brakes and handling!

Definitley consider this car over a foreign model. We MUST support our US makers! They are making great cars!!

2005 G6. Been in the shop for: brakes, Traction control, headlights went out, had body control module replaced, leaking thru dome lights, corroded electrical connections (imagine that!), roaring/whistling panoramic run roof, driver door gasket fell off, etc. Been in shop NUMEROUS times, and has only 15,000 miles on it.

Having had experience (very BAD experience) with Toyota, I've learned to ignore the deluded robots who fall for all the ad hype. As for the G-6, it's a great car, far better value than the Solara (or ANY import), and is very well built and reliable, but the first time I drove a GT with that IDIOTIC sunroof my first reaction was "MY GOD!! HAVE THEY HIRED A JAPANESE SUNROOF DESIGNER!!" It is absolutely the STUPIDEST, SILLIEST design imaginable. It looks like something Nissan would do!! NO WAY will I buy one that has that insane "water hole" in the roof. Otherwise, a perfect choice at a great price.

To comment 07:21: ALL new car batteries (foreign and domestic) are DESIGNED to fail at around 36,000 miles. I routinely replace my batteries at 36,000 miles on all my new cars. My wife bought a new 2003 Envoy and at 36,000 miles I told her "I better replace your battery". She was too busy to leave the car still long enough for me to install a new battery, and sure enough, 2 weeks later she went out to go to work and her battery was dead!!

I just bought a 2006 G6 with the panoramic sunroof and so far it is great. All around I love the car. The power, brakes, style. Hopefully when it rains I won't get wet!!!

To comment 23:15: You have one of the sharpest and best value cars available. Congrats on having the good sense and good taste to buy a top-notch domestic. As for the Sun roof... lots of luck. It is a really bad design. One thing I'd suggest that might (or might NOT) help is to use Rain-X on the glass roof panels to help shed water that falls on them. I use it on all my windshields and it really does a great job in making the water blow off rather than sticking to the glass and running down it. It might keep water from seeping into the cracks between the panels. I test drove a G6 GT with the Sun roof and NO WAY do I want one (the Sun roof, not the car). Hopefully they won't be the nightmare that they look like they are going to be.

I just went with my wife to drop her GMC off at the Pontiac/GMC dealership for and oil change and tire rotation. While I was waiting on her to check her car in, I was looking at the new G-6's. The coupes and retractable-top convertibles are AWESOME... until you look at the PRICES!!

It absolutely blew me away to see a G-6 listing for MORE than a Mustang GT!! Pontiac needs to reign in their prices a bit if they really want to be competitive. The G-6 is a GREAT car, but $31,000 worth...NOT.
