Got an awesome deal with weekend.
2006 Pontiac G6 GT
Options:
3.5 V6 with Auto (with Manual override)
Sunroof
Power everything
18 inch Rims
Monsoon Sounds package
Only had 17,500 miles on it
It is GM Certified so I get the full factory warranty with it.
I stole the pictures from the dealer's site. I will get better pictures this week.
I am really excited, I think it was a nice upgrade from my cav. Sad thing is, I have owned it for two day and I have already started looking for upgrades. lol
they are nice cars and all but they are too bland for me, looks wise
i do prefer the sedan over the coupe tho
fantastic vehicles, enjoy it !
My Cav
I give up...
i'm buying a VW those people love trees, so they should love eachother too... "Andy"
I just had a G6 rental for a few days. I love the car. Very rigid, and quiet, except the 4cyl revs alot and is noisy under acceleration. Also I found the seats got uncomfortable quickly. Also even with the 4cyl, doing the 90km/h speed limit for 3 hours, the best I got was 7.8L /100 km, which seemed a little low to me. I prefer the coupe, but I do agree that the car looks way too bland. It is a fantastic car though, and if I came with a manual trans I would buy one.
I think it is better than a Cavalier.
Rock on.
Nice buy!!! I will be doing the same in two weeks...except in black.
I would rather keep a J car. I used to have to work on the G6's. No thanks.
bland is fine with me. I am not really into the tuner scene but I am looking at upgrades. I did find few intake systems and a nice exhaust but I am not sure if I want a "noisy" car again. I am looking to swap in my old radio from my cavalier to run the monsoon speakers.

As far as the seats....a hell of a lot more better then the J's IMO.
So far I like the car, I wanted a four door because who knows maybe I might start a family or something (or it's just easier to drive my drunk friends around )
Kinda sucks, I feel like I am back when the J's started out, there really aren't that many parts for the G6 (as compared to other cars). I really haven't decided what to do with it yet.

I had two J's I wanted to get a mid size car. What was wrong with them, as you worked on them. any insight?
thanks guys!
Brakes suck, lots of squeeks and rattles, unless they went back to hydraulic PS the PS system is a joke, still has GM 60* V6 oil leaks, and the suspension leaves a lot to be desired.
Maybe you have a good one, there were a few.
Good move. We've rented several G6's (when we go vacations, etc.) since they were released and every year they seem to get better.
We would have sprung for one ourselves, but the Malibu Maxx was a better deal on several levels.
It looks like the later ones have gotten hydraulic power steering back. The electric power steering is a little dead feeling.
Many people think these things are bland, that's OK with me, the bland cars don't attract attention from the Highway Patrol.
FWIW, we've got 19K miles on our Maxx, no problems and the 3.5 is a good running engine, good power and gas mileage for a car that size. Lot's o' grunt.
The REAL part of this deal that sucks: car payments.
If the 'Fire finally blows up, or I just give it to one of the kids, I might be looking for a nice G6 myself. A 4 door, in red, of course.
Good luck and enjoy the new ride.

i who have nothing but the comfort of my sins...
Is it me or does the rear of that G6 look to be jacked up way too high?
I definitely prefer the looks of the coupe over the sedan, but this is a fine pick up. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
