Anyone have problems with Pontiac G6 2007 and newer?

Looking for overall reviews of the Pontiac G6. Also interested in hearing about the gas mileage for the V-6

Answer 1

great cars with plenty of power and 30mpg. dont listen to these toyota and honda dipshits. toyotas and hondas are okay but they have there own problems and are much more expensive than a poniac. i dont buy anything but GM because i have owned pretty much everything else and Gm is the only brand i have always had good luck with

Answer 2

Here is what should prompt concern about the Pontiac G6:

(1) The Pontiac G6 is on Consumer Reports' 2008 list of the Worst of the Worst.

(2) The Pontiac G6 is on AutoOnInfo.net's list of the Worst Automobiles of 2008 with a Composite Reliability Score of -.83 on a scale of -1.00 to 1.00.

(3) The Pontiac Grand Am, the Pontiac G6 predecessor, has a 5-year Reliability Percentrank average of .14, on a scale of 0.00 to 1.00. This puts close to the bottom, likely among the 10 or 15 worst. For reference, the Pontiac overall average is .24, General Motors' overall average is .31, Honda's overall average is .84, and Toyota's overall average is .89.

(4) The Pontiac Grand Am is on AutoOnInfo.net's list of the contenders for the worst model ever made, based on its multi-year reliability since 1987.

(5) The Pontiac Grand Am is on AutoOnInfo.net's list of Automobiles with a Worst Engine (with a score of -.88 on a scale of -1.00 to +1.00).

(6) The Pontiac Grand Am has multiple model year entries on Consumer Reports' 2007 and 2008 lists of Used Cars to Avoid.

(7) AutoOnInfo.net's detailed reliability and durability studies suggest that a typical 3-year-old Pontiac is as troublesome to own as a typical 27-year-old Honda and a typical 20-year-old Toyota.

Answer 3

I have an 07 with close to 40k miles on it and havent had anything go wrong. The drivers window squeaks sometimes when I roll it down but not often at all. I got a safety recall in the mail for the passenger airbag sensor (it only tells when someone is sitting it the seat or not) but havent messed with that since its been working fine.

I cant really say for the mpg, I got the 4cyl because I'm young and insurance on the v6 was more expensive but I average about 28. The other engine shouldn't be that much different
