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

Replying to: ownerof4chevys (May 04, 2009 10:44 pm)  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! |

Hi just wanted to let you know that we just got our G6HTC with 23K miles with the premium and sports package for 15,800 from a dealer so you might want to book out your car I think with all going on with Pontiac the prices are moving around alot.

Hello Billdaman, I assure you that I'm not taking sides in your confrontation, but I can easily see why people wish to take out their frustration on engineers. I am a retired aircraft mechanic that has often wanted to meet the engineer who made certain parts so unaccessible. As far as Pontiac's recent track record goes, I would have to say that someone is dropping the ball. Whoever approved the production of the Aztek should be tested for eyesight deficiency .....it's downright ugly! And the Solstice.......that sure seems rushed off the drawing board. The top is a wrinkled mess and why bother even having a trunk lid, there's no space there at all. Stopping the Pontiac brand certainly makes me lose confidence in GM. I own ONLY General Motors cars and I can't believe that Buick is still going strong. Did you ever notice who drives a Buick Century? Strictly senior citizens!!! Maybe they have the money to buy whereas Pontiac people can only dream. The G6 HTC does have it's drawbacks. As others have pointed out, it apparently can be a nightmare. Mine is my first convertible (age= a very youthful 63) and I really love it. Since I have nothing to compare it to, I can merely read these posts and just be thankful that mine isn't terrible. I would be willing to bet that other brands of HTC's have their fair share of problems too. After all, GM didn't build or design the roof mechanisms. Having worked on planes and helicopters for 45 years, I can tell you that multi-million dollar aircraft are often a POS too!!! To those of you who have a "lemon", you have my sympathy. To those who have a good one, .....enjoy!!! Respectfully, Steve |
