2006 Pontiac G6 Review
Coupe and convertible body styles join the sedan version of Pontiac's best-selling car for 2006. G6 shares architecture with the Chevrolet Malibu and the 9-3 from GM-owned Saab. G6 sedans seat five. Coupes and convertibles seat four. The convertible has a power-retractable metal hardtop with a heated glass rear window. Sedans offer 1SV and base models with a 167-hp 4-cyl engine. Base V6 sedans and GT versions of all body styles have a 201-hp 3.5-liter V6. GTP versions of all have a 240-hp 3.9 V6. G6s come with a 4-speed automatic transmission; it has a manual shift gate in GT and GTP models. A 6-speed manual transmission is available for GTP coupe and sedan.
ABS and traction control are unavailable on 1SV, optional on base models, and standard on other G6s. An antiskid system is a GTP exclusive. GT and GTP have a sport suspension. Front side airbags are optional on convertibles. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags packaged as a single option are available on all coupes and sedans except the 1SV. Optional for sedans is a "panoramic" sunroof with a tilt-up front section and three rear-sliding panels. Available features include power-adjustable pedals, leather upholstery, OnStar assistance, and remote engine start.

News
We've learned that G6 GTP models will soon offer General Motors' "high feature" 3.6-liter V6 with around 270 hp. Look for it in the 2007 lineup. Also look for a sportier GXP model or models with that same engine, plus performance-tuned suspension, tires, and other unique features.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
No opportunity yet to test 4-cyl G6. Models with 201-hp V6 have good acceleration from any speed, helped by smooth automatic transmission that downshifts readily for impressive passing response. GT convertible 400 lb heavier than coupe, feels slower at all speeds. Manual-transmission GTP doesn't leap off the line, but steadily builds power, answers throttle eagerly at higher rpm. Manual-transmission shifter has positive engagement, but also a scraping metal feel during gear changes.

Fuel Economy
Test GT V6 averaged 19.5 mpg. Test manual-transmission GTP coupe averaged 19.1 with slight majority of highway driving. Test GT convertible averaged 19.5 mpg. All G6s use regular-grade fuel.

Ride Quality
Not as composed as Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, but compliant base suspension readily absorbs most bumps with minimal bobbing, moderate tire slap. GT, GTP only a bit stiffer, slightly better controlled, but not as unruffled as sporty imports over high-speed dips, swells. Convertible shows modest body flex, shudder over bumps.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Base model's steering very light at low speeds for easy parking, firms up at higher speeds, but feels numb. Moderate body lean, good grip in fast turns. GT's steering and handling a bit sharper, with GTP the sportiest of all. All have slightly dull brake-pedal feel.

Quietness
Suppression of road, wind noise not up to Accord/Camry standards, but acceptable. Bumps caused slight knocking in front end of test sedans. Opened panoramic roof generates less noise but more buffeting than regular sunroof. Convertible nearly sedan-quiet with top up, wind noise impressively low with top down. The 3.5 V6 noisier at idle than most V6s, emits guttural whine under moderate-to-full acceleration. The 3.9 V6 is quieter, more refined than the 3.5.

Controls
Gauges clear, lit in red. Audio, climate controls easy to reach, use. Cabin has abundance of padded surfaces, available two-tone panels, bright or woodgrain trim, creating a satisfying ambience at this price level.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Good head, leg room. Standard tilt/telescope steering, available adjustable pedals enhance driving position. Seats--cloth and leather--softer than in many rivals, and short on long-distance support. Testers divided on how well seat side bolsters hold occupants in place during fast cornering. And some drivers find bolster interferes with arm movement when shifting manual transmission. Vision blocked astern by tall front headrests, to sides and front corners by thick roof pillars, especially in convertible. Kudos for sun visor extenders. Long coupe, convertible doors a hassle in tight spots.

Room/Comfort (rear)
All models have ample leg room, even with front seats well back. But sloping roofline, especially in coupe and top-up convertibles, limits head room for those over 5-ft-10. Available panoramic roof steals head room, too, forcing taller passengers to scrunch uncomfortably. Entry/exit easy in sedan, stoop-and-twist in coupe.

Cargo Room
Narrow trunk has small opening, tall liftover, but hinges don't intrude on cargo space. Rear seatbacks unlatch from trunk, fold almost flat, have hard plastic backs. Adequate interior storage. Note that convertible trunk volume shrinks to 1.8 cu ft with top down, from just 5.8 cu ft top up.

Value within Class
G6 lacks the well-toned feel of a Honda Accord, the isolating comfort of a Toyota Camry, or the raw coltishness of a Nissan Altima. But it undercuts them all on price, especially with a V6 engine. The convertible benefits from its retractable hardtop and impresses for its solidity and smart pricing. Frequent discounts and a wide selection of safety and convenience features add to its appeal. The G6 coupe is too large for the interior space it provides, making a sedan the wisest choice here.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.

2 years/24,000 miles, plus 8 years/80,000 miles on the catalytic converter and any
on-board diagnostic device. The Passenger Restraint Warranty covers seat belts
and airbags for 5 years/50,000 miles.

Problems During Test: None From The Back Seat Rick Cotta Lack of a usable rear seat positions the largish G6 coupe against smaller sporty coupes like the Acura RSX and notably, the new Mitsubishi Eclipse. Oddly, it's a good value in that company. However, this is no economy car, and a BETTER overall value might be the GTP sedan with its REAL rear seat. |
