Replying to: caffeinated (Jul 30, 2006 9:16 am) Thanks for the lengthy write-up. Can you tell us which dealer you're talking about?? Are you implying they have brand new 2006 GTOs for $25k or less?? That would be a steal of a deal. Thanks again. Brian

I walked into the dealer on Saturday, July 22nd and leased the only 2006 GTP convertible they had (black w/ black) including the premium package and remote start. I even got it at supplier pricing ($30,590) which is $1,500 under MSRP. I took it in this morning for 3 issues: a known radio issue where the xm1 and xm2 presets keep overwriting each other. They ordered a new radio. Some of the rubber molding has come loose and they fixed that. Also, I was hearing lots of cracking type noises from the seating area which they claim to have taken care of. I pick it up after I leave work. I haven't had any trouble with the top yet, other than some minor hesitation ocassionally. I have lowered it and raised it several times already without issue. |

I have had my new 2007 G6 convertible for two weeks now. I like the remote start but I am not sure why they put a 2 start limit in between actually using the key to start the car. I found this out because I was showing the remote start feature to a friend and after two times it refused to start. I thought it was going to go back to the dealer but I read the manual and found the limitation. This is my first XM Satelite radio. very nice. I can't believe thouhg that in this high end stereo the CD player does not have MP3 capability. My friend bought a $17,000 Ford fusion and his 6 CD changer had MP3 capability. The roof is especially nice although a bit slow. It seems to take about 45 seconds and you have to keep the button pressed the whole time and it is above the windhield. I would suggest putting the button lower or making it truly one touch where you press it once and the roof opens completely. One odd problem that I had was I went to get into the car and it was completely dead. I opened the hood and was trying to get the plastic cover off of the battery compartment and I got frustrated and smacked the top of the cover and the car came to life with the alarm system blaring. Took it to the dealer and he said that the neg pole on the battery was stripped and he replaced it. |

Purchased the 2007 G6 GT Convertible.. took possession at 11pm on a Thursday due to a late negotiations (dealer took forever to get paperwork going and then didn't disclose the financing arrangements until we were signing - BAD BAD, after we discussed what I was willing to work with). We had to re-work the numbers and the extended warranty was removed from the car sale to make the numbers work. Due to the service center being closed that night, they told me to come back the following day after work and have the car detailed. I drove back and the service center was closed - all gone for the day. ooook. Was told to come back the following day (saturday). I brought the car in Saturday, they had it for 1.5 hours to detail it. I had already taken all the stickers and protective strips off - it was unsightly to drive like that. I put the top up for them to clean the vehicle top to bottom. I picked up the car finally cleaned and 3 hours later when to put the top down and it wouldn't go down. It would only open the trunk. I drove it to the dealer on Monday and they indicated that there was a part (a clip?) on order for the vehicle. The order was placed 14 DAYS before I purchased the car. NO mention of that when I bought the car. Worse yet, the part is on backorder. No use of my top down features now until the part makes its way here. I've since noticed this past weekend (now 10 days into owning the vehicle) that the driver side door is not sitting flush with the body panel above the handle. Took the car to the dealer yet again and they agreed that it needed to be fixed, in the body shop. They asked to repair it when the car is in for repair on the top. My car has almost 1200 miles on it.. I drive 100 RT a day for work. I've had it for 12 days. My warranty will be up in less than 18 months. What else is going to go wrong with this vehicle? Pontiac is involved and the dealer has offered a mere pittance as compensation for this issue. The part for the top should be in sometime in Mid August. Happy for my XM radio(had it before in my Murano). Car hesitates when I'd expect it to get up and go. Leather, heated seats, nice. Remote start, nice. Problems with the car from the start? Not so Nice.

Replying to: padriver1 (Aug 02, 2006 2:26 pm) I have a new XM receiver on order to be replaced, some of the rubber molding came loose at the base of the rear window and on one of the wings that comes out during opening and closing and some odd cracking noises coming from inside the car. After fixing the interior noises, they detected a noise coming from the trunk area but it was too hot for them to ride around in the trunk to listen lol. So when I take it back in for the XM receiver, they will look at the trunk noise. So far no major issues with top going up or down. |
