I just got my 07 GT HTC back from the dealer after complaining of the same hissing sound they tell me that they have to order a whole new exaust system to fix it . so Im waiting for the call to bring it back into them
If that happens!!

Hi:
 
Seems like a common problem with the HTC. I had my exhaust replaced last June. no problems since...
 
Hope you get everything worked out...

Rattles, squeaks, noises, problems etc etc etc. It's unfortunate that the majority of these cars are such sleds. I certainly would not choose this again. Now that GM announced the end of Pontiac, watch the resale value now!! These cars should be next to worthless soon !! I am glad my lease is up next March on my 07 HTC. One more summer and back it goes. GMAC is going to get CRUSHED on the residual value when this car goes back. I did let my friend borrow it when his car was totaled, he hated it after one day! My wife doesn't care for it much either. Mine is not a TERRIBLE car, just low quality....but for $320 a month it could be a lot worse. Poor people that paid up to get one of these.....what a mistake. I might go for a used G8 GT when this lease is up. The value of those cars should be low enough once GM pulls the plug on Pontiac.

I'm not sure I would go as far to call this car "worthless." I have had my car for three years and Yes there have been problems. But all of them have been corrected and I really enjoy this vehicle.
 
I do not regret my decision at all. I love each and every day I am able to put my top down and turn up the radio. I am sure I will have more problems with my car and I am confident i will get them fixed with my extended warranty.
 
Maybe I am one of the few who did not expect a $50,000 vehicle for $30,000.

Kevin,
I agree with you. I love our car and sure it has had few little issues. The worst being that they put in way to low a gear ratio and the fuel economy sucks but it isn't the cars fault that was the smart engineers. We love putting the top down and just cruizin with the radio. I have works for all of the different dealer brands and every shop is full of cars every day to get repaired I do not see this model in any more than any else. And the best thing is is AMERICAN MADE not some japan or euro crap where all the money goes over seas.

I have been waiting till I get close to the 36K mark to buy my GMPP. I won't buy a aftermarket because I don't trust that it will cover all the little things that could happen to the top workings. With Pontiac closing should I go ahead and get one? I am scared the prices will sky rocket on them since they are no longer produced or they will take them away all together.

Hello everyone,
     I bought a used 2007 G6 convertible back in October of 2008. It had under 7,200 miles on it. It has the premium and sport packages, power pedals, and side airbags.
 
   Likes: Very quiet car while driving with roof down, good looking car
 
   Dislikes: 3.9 engine is a real gas-hog, handles poorly on a rough road, transmission seems to lurch at times, back seat entry is poorly designed.
 
    Problems: Both doors started to rattle. I put thick lubriplate on the door pins and the noise is gone. No other complaints at all.
 
    Shortcomings: The vehicle should have had illuminated vanity mirrors, self-dimming rearview mirror, a compass, lockable glove compartment, etc.
 
    Question: I have the automatic climate control, every time I start the car the A/C is on. Is that normal?
 
    Overall rating: I'd have to say that I enjoy the car. I paid $19,900 for the 8 month old car, which certainly makes it more reasonable than paying top dollar for a new one.
 
     Modifications: I installed the lower chrome grilles and a side pinstripe. It really looks a lot better with those items.
 
         Happy motoring to all !!!!
                                                                                                Steve

Yes Steve, the AC is always on even in winter
 
We love our HTC. We also bought a 2007 although new. No complaints.
 
Have fun!
 
BTW, spray silicone lube (found at RV parts places) on the rubber seals of the top (center, and WS). Works like a charm! I also spray a little around the window seals periodically!

I just talked to my dealer (a good personal friend of mine) and he said to go ahead and buy it. It is backed by the bailout and the government is supposed to be providing the service if GM goes belly up!
 
Just my .02
 
We will add the extended warranty for the car. We absolutely love this car and there isn't another out there that competes!
