Pontiac g6 is a reliable car.
The 2010 Pontiac g6 is very reliable. I only had to bring it to the shop twice for a fuel pump. Starting to have some sound problems within the car the radio goes in and out and the signal light noise goes out with that, but that is after about 7 years. Other than that I know it will start everyday and get me where I need to go.

The design is amazing, and runs really good.
My vehicle runs really good, the only issue that I found was that it have vibration in the motor, but is not the big deal, is something you can fix really fast, you didn't notice when you're in a expressway, this car is amazing, I recommend it to everyone.

Very nice and reliable transportation.
This car is very good on gas both in town and traveling. I use it as a daily driver back and forth to work as well as to travel back home to visit family multiple times throughout the year! I love how smooth it rides even in the bad weather, it even tells me on the dash if I should expect some ice on the roads when I first get in and turn the car on. It has lots of trunk space and a huge back seat that my five year old loves and is very comfortable sitting in.

Most reliable car I have ever owned.
Pontiac g6 gt is a great car. It is a 2010 so the last year that they made them. Very few problems. Only needed a new battery once. The back window defroster stopped working but my husband bought a repair kit on amazon for $13 that fixed it. Has heated leather seats and a sunroof. USB plug in dash. Just recently the driver side heated seat stopped working. Considering the car is 10+ years old, it is understandable. She’s still going!

The beautiful red car and all of Its beauty. Can't go wrong.
Breaks go out too easily but can go long distances on one tank of gas. Handles smoothly and great speed control. Handles great up in the mountains and other off terrain. Reliable family car that will take you years to damage. Belts come loose and can make the car too hot or too cold. But other than that my family have really enjoyed this spectacular car with all its features.

Pontiac g6 is a really nice car!
My car drives really smooth, looks really nice inside and out. It is very reliable, not a lot of problems mechanically. This is the second one of this make and model car I have owned and one thing I have noticed is that the back driver's side door lock sometimes stays locked when I try to unlock it with the remote, both my cars did this. But I would definitely buy another one. It is a really good car.

Love my Pontiac g6! Couldn't ask for a better vehicle.
Of all the vehicles I have owned, the Pontiac g6 has been my favorite. There is a lot of room in the front and back of the car. Plenty of legroom. It gets really good gas mileage. It picks up speed quickly. I have never had any problems out of it for the ten years I have had it.

The look is wonderful, stylish and has a lot of get up and go.
I've had a number of minor problems from the beginning. Also the body began having structure issues after a couple years rotting out underneath. The wiper motor went within the first 11/2 years as well as air conditioning. I believe that I got a lemon everyone else that I know that owns the same car is very pleased.

Pontiac g6 “the classic” because they do not make them anymore.
The Pontiac g6 has been an overall quality car. I have put 150,000 miles on it, most of which have been highway miles. General repairs have been required at 100,000 miles. No major failures have occurred so far. After 100,000 it will start to show it is age. The suspension probably needs replaced if you want to enjoy a smoother ride.

The g6 is not a 6... Way lower.
I have to put power steering fluid in it all the time and the gas mileage is not what it should be. I have also replaced the starter. The car goes fast but is not great accelerating. Very cheaply made the grill on the front is easy to break and the headlights are awful. They are not bright enough or aligned properly.

Pros and cons of driving a Pontiac g6.
Electrical problems had to get the car rewired, trunk stop opening by button. I also noticed with all the lights that there are gaps. I had to purchase weather strips so when it rains the water does not get inside the light. It was an adhesive strip that I purchased from a local store, it worked a miracle for my car.

Pontiac g6 is a realizable car to get you where you need to go.
This has been a reliable car that I have had no major issues with since purchasing. It has a decent fuel economy and fun to drive with lots of trunk space. My only knock would be that it rides really low. I’d recommend to anyone looking for a simple day driver.

The up and downs of a Pontiac g6.
Well my car often has tire pressure problems and have had to get them replaced a few times this year. As well as the headlights are faulty and often go out on either side. However my car is very comfortable and spacious inside not to mention I have a huge trunk.

Nice silver 2010 Pontiac g6.
My Pontiac g6 is a good, reliable vehicle. It is good on gas, it is comfortable, and is good for my family of 4. It has a long trunk, lots of space. Has been great for our family vacations. Currently been having some electrical problems which have caused the car to shut off. Other than that no problems with the performance.

My 2010 Pontiac g6 review.
The g6 is good on gas. The car is quiet on the interstate and rides smooth. I feel like overall quality and reliability are not the best. I have owned the car for a year and already replaced the passenger headlight socket twice because it overheats due to poor design.
