Pros

It's convertible and catches people's attention

Cons

That I have to drive it in the winter and get rock chips on it.  Wish the button to drop the top was one touch instead of having to hold it the entire time.

One Sweet Ride — It has awesome leg room in the back seat unlike most convertibles. Stereo system is pretty good, but could be better.

Gorgeous Car That Growls With Power. — For those who want that perfect balance between power and style, the G6 delivers. This car is solid-as-a-rock reliable and is one that you'll be proud to roll up in at any occasion.

Pros

The panoramic roof, remote start, and 3.5L engine.

Cons

The traction control and blind spots.

Its Fun For A Person On A Budget. — Its not a sports car, and its not a top of the line car either, but for the money, its one of the best cars out there in its class. The back seat has lots of room, there are many options, it has great engine power for the size, many desirable features, large trunk space, and an overall solid appearance. Downsides are the large blind spots in it, and the traction control I have found to be rather lacking in Northern Michigan weather.

2006 Pontiac G6 GT Coupe Review

Pros

Looks, front and rear legroom, trunk space, MPG, acceleration

Cons

Turning Radius, Handling, Size (little large)

55

Beauty Is Skin Deep — A Gorgeous car, the looks are definitely a reason to but this car but it has some disadvantages. While it has agile acceleration and good MPG it lacks firm handling especially at low speeds. The interior is comfortable and spaceous excepting rear headroom. The turning circle is a little large and the length of this vehicle makes it sometimes tricky to handle. In short if your not sold on the looks don't go out of your way but otherwise it is a solid car.

Great American Car — very nice car and great looking. very torquey. could use a taller 4th gear to get a little better mgp but its ok. it handles really nice and is very fun to drive. the ride is firm but not uncomfortable and the stearing is sharp and direct

I love this car! It rides smooth and looks amazing!

Cons

If you don't pay attention you can get a ticket in this car. I got 3 warnings my first 3 months and honestly just wasn't paying attention.

Chick Magnet, Even With Kids In The Back, Just Ask My Husband! Lol — This car is the best car I have ever owned so far. It is even spacious enough for 3 kids, 2 adults, and camping equipment, including a cooler. It was tight but honestly I was impressed. Our family trips and outings have sadly out grown this car. We are moving on to a SUV, but honestly if I could afford 2 car payments I would never let this car go.

All In All A Great Car — it handles pretty good for a four door. the build quality is good too, low maintenace costs. on average it gets about 25mpgs in the city, and close to 40 mpgs on the highway. The overall apperence of the car is pretty sleek, has a giant ass sunroof lol

Great Little Car For All Seasons — Fun to drive and great on long road trips. Ave. 32+ mpg on hwy trips. Trunk will only hold 4 med. suitcases with top up. After all it is a hardtop convertible and it makes up for those days when the weather won't cooperate for a dry commute on the motorcycle.
