I like the G6. Got a good friend who has one. It has been a great car and it's really smooth on the highway.
Yes, it does ride very nicely. I think it is in part from the wide tires and the extra weight of the V6 along with the fact that all new cars weight more to begin with.


Sorry guys, no pics. She didn't get home until dark, but I did drive it to get groceries. My mom said the remote start wasn't working. Well apparently she just wasn't pushing the buttons in the right order because it worked for me.

What do you guys know / think about the G6?

My mom is looking at them for her next vehicle.

Any known big problems or areas of concern?

The V6 would be nice (and that's what she wants), but how hard is it to work on? Can you get to all 6 plugs without any extra work (I know the Grand Prix's had a problem getting to cyl #3 or 4)? The one thing I like about 4cyl's is the spark plugs are on the top instead of the sides.

The MPG difference isn't all that much.
I-4 (4spd auto)= 22 / 30 with a 25 mix
I-4 (S6 auto) = 22 / 33 with a 26 mix
V6 3.5L (4spd auto)= 18 / 29 with a 22 mix

What the heck is the difference between the 4spd auto and this S6 auto? (never heard of it having 2 transmissions for the 4cyl)

Any input is much appreciated!
i dunno but my g/f woke me up today singing a song about the g6 ;)

This time, taking peektures is out of my hands because I don't have the vehicle!!!

For now, dealer pics will have to do. (I don't know how much longer this will be up since she bought the car on Monday)

Sweet ride. I had one of those once as a loaner while my truck was getting fixed.
