Replying to: marona (Jun 14, 2008 5:55 pm) I'm sure I'll have no luck with my awful dealer. They just called back and said they could find nothing wrong with the suspension. HA. I said "Nothing wrong? I demonstrated how the front end creaks like an old board FOR you guys. Look at it again." WORST dealership EVER. |

Replying to: bvdj84 (Jun 19, 2008 6:21 pm) On the plus side, my awful local dealer (are we allowed to mention dealers by name or no?) changed their tune. First, as I said a few days ago, they told us "There's nothing wrong with the car" which meant I had to drive over there and re-demonstrate that there was DEFINITELY something wrong with the suspension. Gee, 12 hours later they're replacing the control arms. It's all fine now. It was all covered by the extended warranty (we're just past 36,000 miles) so.....I guess it could be worse.

It would look amazing!! But only if they can offer some kind of warranty and its a well done job. No chipping or flaking. Anyone know?? I plan on buying the chrome grills for the top and bottom fronts, but only if I can find a decent price for them. |

I really wish that the G6 had a 5spd automatic, instead of a 4spd. It is 2008, there should be no excuse for not having one. I also think that transmission is a little rough, and as I put more miles on it, it does get smoother though. I only have about 3k on it, and I can only feel the transmission when revving up to speed. Also, I wished that they offered a manual shift option on the automatic, if anything should have this option, it should be the 4cyl before the 6cyl. The engine is great, and I am really impressed, but coming from an 06 Accord 4cyl, to the G6 4cyl, the G6 lacks a bit of refinement and crispness that the honda offers. But, the G6 still only has 3k on it, so its barely even broken in. The G6 really does pick up and go, and it likes to rev up, and when you do it, its quite smooth. But, I do find the transmission a little insufficient and needs the 5spds, it seems to want to look for a gear quite often. But, I am still getting used to it though. Also, I have the Hankook tires on it, and I have found to keep them about 5lbs over the recomended amount, it feels better and looks like they are fuller, 30lbs is simply not enough for them, and 35lbs is still under the max. Anything less, seems like the car is floaty and less grippy.
