Article comments for Full Test: 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP Convertible - At first glance, the G6 GTP convertible is a large coupe with a long and sleek profile, Pontiac grille and (thankfully) restrained character lines. At 70 mph, the interior sound level is slightly quieter than similar cars with retractable hardtops. (more)

Replying to: stevensoriano (Nov 26, 2006 10:01 pm) thanks for your info. I want a convertible and am torn between the G6 and the mustang. I am open to any around 30,000 that have a back seat, power, and safety record
#8 of 10 I LOVE My G6 Convertible by kaxel Oct 17, 2007 (11:54 am)
I took delivery of my G6 in June 2007 and I absolutely love it. It is my 4th Pontiac convertible in 20 years and by far my favorite. I don’t get all the negative things that are being said in this forum. It is a $30,000 car – if you want lots of high performance then quit your belly aching and go buy a BMW or Lexus. I think it has plenty of sweet bells and whistles, from the XM radio to the technical command/information center. Yes, the back seat is small and the trunk is unusable when the top is down, but if the car was made bigger, to give it a bigger back seat, it would loose its sporty feel. And frankly I am happy to give up my trunk space in exchange for not struggling – and destroying nails – putting on the top boot! I have purchased 17 brand new GM vehicles in my 30 years of adulthood, and they have varied from Pontiac Sunbirds to GMC 3500 crew cab diesel trucks and although there is a big difference in the kind of vehicles I have purchased, I still could easily rank them as to my satisfaction. The bottom line is that it needs to make me feel good when I get behind the wheel. To me – as a huge GM fan – I think they hit the mark with the G6 convertible. Every time I look out my window and see my car, or walk up to it in a parking lot, my heart does a flip flop. I love the way it looks, I love the way it handles, I love the way it performs. I love the way people oh and ah when they see the top go up or down, and I love the way that it feels when I have the radio cranked up and am cruising along.

This car is just fun! I own two Corvettes so I kind of have a feel for what a fun car is. My wife and I just love this car! We traded a 2005 F150 super crew for it and have not been sorry. We bought it in July, have about 3000 miles on it now. The top goes up and down at least twice a day! Power is adequate, handling is very good ... top up or down. It is amazing how quiet it is at 80 MPH with the top down and window s up. You can easily carry on a normal conversation. The monsoon radio is very good! We are getting about 27 to 28 MPG highway and over 20 in town. Do not hesitate to go look at one of these! It truly is the best of both worlds!
#10 of 10 I knew GM couldn't have made this! by darex Apr 08, 2008 (8:55 pm)
Ha ha. I knew there was no way GM engineered the roof, and sure enough, it's bought wholesale from a German company. So, I guess it actually works, but I knew that GM could have designed it itself, which is a sad testament to GM of today. The previous poster who is congratulating Pontiac on its engineering prowess in this car made me laugh. Which parts of this car don't originate in Europe?
