2006 Pontiac G6 consumer reviews

I have had my car for 7 years i have 160k miles, bought it brand new with only 2 miles on it and the only thing i have had done to it is replce a tire rod and a control arm due to hitting many potholes. The V6 engine is defintely worth it, test drove the 4 cyclinder and it was a slug. I have no complaints, worst thing GM every did was get rid of Pontiac brand

Bought GT model in 2005. have more than 120,000 miles and still going strong. car's styling still looks great when compared to other vehicles. The V6 gets over 33 mpg on the road, has penty of room, and rides quietly (no rattles). It had a steering gear problem that was repaired at 25,000 miles and has given no trouble since. The 4 disc CD player was changed once about 5 years ago and has given no problems since. I would replace this car but it still runs like a top.

Nothing but problems I've had the car for q yr n a half n I've put more money in it than I've made monthly payments I actually just traded it in n its the best choice ever go with a foreign car !!! Don't let the perks decive u u will have expensive problems with it !!

The biggest complaint is the issues this car is having with it break lights coming on at random and the cruise controll shutting of when this occurs. Dialectric Silicone grease on the BCM plugs on the passender side floor board fixed the problem. No other issues and I have logged 85,000 miles. Snow tires are suggested if you live in an area where traction may be a concern. I average 29 MPG with mixed driving. Overall the car has met my expectations for the price I paid. Much cheaper than other cars in the segment. Any money spent on reparis still makes the car much cheaper than Honda or Toyota and it looks so much better.

Overall gas milage sitting at 31 mpg. The 3.6 V6 has plenty of power. Smooth ride, nice handling. Other than basic maintanance I haven't had to put any money into it what-so-ever. It's a great car.

I have my G6 5 yrs Oct/10. Don't know if you already know this but the Pontiac G6's 2006 do not have child proof safety locks on the doors, this is in all 2006 models. I have been doing everything to get a recall for this but it still hasn't happened. The steering shaft & power steering has been fixed several times, transmission lines were leaking last yr & had to be fixed, 2 wks ago my transmission went & had to be replaced & my car only has 83,000 km, my battery went Nov/2010. This car is costing me a lot of money right now & I would not recommend this car to anyone.

If i could give this car less than one star, I would. I have had nothing but problems with this car since the minute I drove it off the lot. I've only owned the car for just over a year and have had several front end suspension problems; the power steering is faulty and only intermittantly works; the hood latch is faulty and because of on-going suspension problems, the car is chewing up tires like crazy. Do yourself a favor and buy Honda or Toyota!

I bought this vehicle in Jan 2010 from Enterprise Car Sales as a trade in and have owned it 1 year so far. At first, I refused to even look at the car because it was a GM but the salesman insisted. I finally agreed and both my wife and myself were actually impressed. We liked it and bought it as a spare commuter car for the mileage. I love the car, the sporty styling, and it's actually quite peppy with the 3.5 V6. The only problem I've had is the clunky intermediate steering shaft which I lubricate myself and a rattling panoramic sunroof. I tolerate both because they're not safety issues. It gets great gas mileage, the engine is quiet and it handles pretty good and it has the remote start which is awesome. I've put 15K on it over the past year and it now has a total of 64k on it. Overall, I'm pleased and plan on keeping it for my daughter to drive. Oh, one thing, the keyfobs are junk but if you search online you'll find a website that has a cheap fix for them and it works great, fixed mine permanently.

MY other car broke and i got a 2006 G6 GTP and I love it. The stock items are great and I plan on owning the car a long time.

I bought my 2006 Pontiac G6 in August and have enjoyed it the last few months. It is very sporty and has zip which is makes it fun to drive. The panoramic sunroof is very cool and gets lots of oo's and ah's but at highway speeds it is quite loud. I have the GT model which came with a 3.5 liter V6 and a four speed automatic. I wish I could have found a 2007 in my price range because a four speed limits the car. It would be much better if it had a nicer transmiton. The plastics are fairly low rent and the driver information center is blah and does not feature a compass. The black leather interior is nice however and the heated seats are great. The styling is sporty and the suspension is as well which in turn means it does not absorb a lot of bumps or cracks and is loud on anything but smooth pavement. This is a great car if you want something with kick and spunk and aren't worried about the quality of door handles, soft touch materials and so on. It is a great cheaper alternative to Accords and Camrys. As far as reliability goes, in the few months i have owned it there are no major problems except that the auto start feature has stopped working. I was disappointed with that. The Monsoon stereo system is awesome. Buy it for looks, not for life.
