2007 Pontiac G6 User Reviews

It's Ok But It Could Be Better. — have too many problems witht the front end. I have taken this damn car like 6 times to the mechaninc for problems to the front end of the car. Good thing I still have warranty on it. I hate it I want my Mustang back.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Her Name Is Phyllis — Monsoon sound is incredible. 3 speakers in each door & 2 subs in the back. This car can pick up so much speed without you knowing! Love the way she handles and the seats fit my small frame perfectly. Wish she didn't dent & scratch so easily. Paid $17,500 fully loaded w/ leather, seat heaters, 6 disk CD changer, and a moon roof.

Quite The Looker...needs A Few Upgrades — 3.5L 224 hp,seats 4 ppl, 23-29 mpg Can I be bias in a saying that this is one of my favorites? I can't say my auto resume is impressive by any means, but I've seen and ridden in my share of nice vehicles. Being an avid reader of both Car & Driver and Road & Track magazines, I can safely say I have an above-average knowledge of cars. From a professional venue, this car has been proven to be faster than the new mustang gt (that really doesn't say much about Ford) while sporting a lower horsepower figure than the not-so-impressive pony. It's safety features are superb for a lower priced vehicle and its sexy swoop of a body has been heralded to turn heads. She's not a 36 24 36 like a corvette, but Pontiac didn't disappoint. Braking is excellent and road-hugging ability gets a check-plus...we can express the gratitude to the sticky Continental tires which the G6 sports handsomely. Now from the personal experience side of the car. I believe this venue has a bit more edge and less bias...and you'll understand why. First, safety. I had a 2006 metallic blue g6 gt (same model as my current 2007, but had less hp). Four months after the purchase date, I crashed it. Imagine this for me...going 55 mph on a rural four-lane highway (the posted speed limit, mind you), you lose control and start fish-tailing crossing over all lanes then slamming into a solid 20 foot high embankment, flipping backwards then rolling four times before finally coming to a rest upside down. It's not a good sign when your grill is in your dashboard. After waiting 45 minutes to finally be pulled from the driver seat, you are able to survey the wreckage. The whole front is missing it's pretty face, but in return you see the solid once-hidden bumper that kept your knees from being pounded into the dashboard. The still upside down vehicle is being supported by roll bars hidden within the top panel and is not buckling at all by the 7,000 some pounds pressing down upon it, and even the driver window is completely intact despite the roller coaster spin, and the passenger window was only busted by your friend who kicked it open to escape a possible inferno (i just filled up at the gas station). You realize that you're sunroof was open when the crash occurred and could have easily been the gauntlet to your head...but once again, thanks roll bars. All air bags were fully deployed on impact and were now resting deflated and dusty. After that, you and your two friends realize you walked away from that with not only a few bruises, but another day of life. Okay, so maybe that was a little dramatic. But it was a reality for myself. That car saved me. Second, performance. I've talked to people with their WRX's, mustangs, wrx's, dodge whatevers, civics, celicas, and whatever wanna-be race cars. All of told me that after hitting 110 mph, their vehicles start to shake like Hurricane Katrina is biting at their rubber. Well one beautiful, sunny day, I attempted to out-drive a V8 Dakota whose cocky driver was basically harrassing me. So to avoid his obnoxious antics, I took my car up to a justifiable 131 mph. My car only goes up to 140. Did she shake? No. Did she squeal under the pressure? No. Did she flutter left or right under the pressure of undercarraige airflow? No. She drove like she does at 45. Smooth and sure. Now, all you daredevils out there, I'm not telling you this so you can take your experimental joyrides in your G6 because YOU WILL get one of four things: 1. arrested for endangering fellow commuters 2. 6 points or more for wreckless 3. upside down in a ditch after flipping 37 times 4. death. So do me a favor, and don't pull a stunt like me. So take a professional driving experience class if you have that need for speed.

Affordable, Performing, Practical And Sexy — It looks good, 4 doors for family practicability (two older teens that actually fit in the back seat), actually ready to merge or pass when on the freeway (V-6), Metallic Gray, black interior... Yeah, I'd rather a BMW or an Infinity G37 or some other big dollar car, but two kids about to go into collage, and mortgage to boot - I'll be practical and affordable and STILL drive a sexy looking car. And why is it, with all the cars I've ever owned, this is my fourth Pontiac. WOW! Must be something good!

Powerful Car — I never driven a sports car and this car was a THRILL. I didn't expect all the fun I had driving it. I loved to drive it.
