The 2007 Pontiac G6 GT sedan (with automatic) is a great enjoyment to drive. It is also a great enjoyment to look at it sitting in the garage or driveway. Its clean, simple and elegant lines grace the entire length of the car. From the jewel-like headlamps with chrome-trimmed grille set between them to the wide-set crystal clear taillamps and chrome-trimmed exhaust tip(s). High-intensity integrated fog lamps are set low and wide in front and illuminates the road quite well. The fog lamps can be turned on their own or with the headlamps. Chrome is definitely making a comeback, even on sporty cars. Just a touch here and there makes the car shine like a jewel in the afternoon sun, along with the standard 17″ chrome 5-spoke wheels with silver brake calipers sitting behind them. When polished and clean, they are blinding. The outside pull door handles are easy to open and doors shut very securely without pulling hard. The cabin is very rakish in design, but yet provides ample interior room for five passengers for comfortable trips. The perforated leather is soft and smooth. Beautiful chrome touches here and there, such as door handles, shifter, which also has leather, rings around the air vents and the instrument cluster. The automatic transmission also includes a clutchless shifter for those who want to control the transmission manually, as well as the ability to turn traction control off for burn-outs. Thoughful touches of luxury include auto window for driver, heated seats for driver and passenger, speed-sensitive wipers, a 200-watt, 8-speaker Monsoon system with a 6-CD in-dash changer with auto volume, driver information center, one-touch sunroof control, and radio & cruise controls on a thick, sporty, 3-spoke, leather wrapped steering wheel. The radio can also store 20 of your favorite songs and goes by category of music, such as jazz, country, R&B, etc. The rear seat has pockets behind the front seats for magazine storage and the seat back splits 40/60 for hauling large, flat items such as plywood or skis in trunk. Two cupholders are provided both in front and back and can hold 20 oz. bottles. Large storage in console can hold about 15 CD’s or a bunch of junk.The 3.5L V-6 provides ample power for moving quickly. It provides 224 hp and 220 lb-ft torque and moves the car to 60 mph in about 7 seconds. The exhaust is throaty and sounds pleasant to the ears. The tires have excellent grip, especially when eating corners quickly. The chassis provides almost no body roll and keeps the ride smooth on almost all road surfaces. Steering is tight and feels like handling a small car, rather than a 3500 lb. car. The instrument cluster includes rpm, mph, water temp, and a fuel gauge. The driver information center includes trip A, trip B, distance to empty, average economy, oil life. It also warns you of low fuel and oil change. I recommend this car to the younger, college generation who are looking for a moderately priced car with ample room and power to move friends around town or city to places of fun. The G6 spoken of here was listed at $25,495. More expensive models with options can run up to $30,000 and include 18″ wheels, panaromic roof, XM satellite, OnStar, 3.6L V-6 with 252 hp, and can come as a coupe and hard-top convertible.

Insurance did not increase for me and cost of operation is low. I highly recommend this car for anyone who loves to drive and have fun at the same time! Hurrah for Pontiac, they did a great job!
