Used Pontiac G6 GT for Sale

The Pontiac G6 GT Convertible on paper looks to be a budget hardtop convertible for the size and class. I purchased the one with the 3.9L V6 engine and the "heavy-duty" transmission (4T65-E). For starters, the fit and finish of the car came a long way from the "classic" GM "Rubbermaid" style interiors. The material choices were of a much higher grade, plastics are softer, vinyl is softer and feels more "leather-like" than the actual leather in the car. Floor mats and carpets are thicker and give a little luxury feel to the car. The fitment between dashboard trim pieces is very precise, so there are little to no visible gaps at all. For the price of the vehicle, some features that are taken as "standard" were not available -- for example, auxiliary audio inputs and GPS navigation were not even available as an option. In terms of driving, the car was average in performance, even with the uprated engine and transmission, since the car is exceptionally heavy when compared to the coupe version, due to the under-floor bracing for the convertible top. As a result, the fuel economy averaged about 16.5 MPG in city/highway driving. When the top is taken down, the car cruises well, cowl shake is minimized due to the sub-frame bracing. It's not a car for the speed demons, but it certainly does turn heads, especially when taking the roof down. As for the drawbacks, this car was produced right at the end of Pontiac's lifetime, so when you service the car, you will find a lot of mismatched parts -- basically the parts that were leftover in the factory at the time that were slapped together. The electrical harness colors do not match, and a lot of the parts failed early on. I started having major mechanical issues with the car around 80,000 miles -- so definitely be expecting bills if you choose to buy this car second-hand.

The 2009 Pontiac G6 GT is a working mans luxury car. At a very affordable price, you get all the smoothness and perks you would in a higher-end luxury car. Standard basics on this car are upgrades in almost all other cars in its price range. It comes equipped with OnStar, XM satellite radio, genuine certified leather seats, custom paint, custom tires and rims, extra seat padding, super absorbent shocks, anti-lock breaking system, auto head lights, fog lots, surprisingly powerful horsepower capable of zooming up tall mountains, it has superb control for weaving in and out of traffic, has a tight turning capability that puts it on par with turning a little car, and it is quiet. I bought mine brand new, I've had it for 60k miles and it still runs like a champ. Have not had any major issues with the car but then again I keep it in good tune and do regular maintenance on it religiously.
