The G6 offers some interesting features. It can be started remotely from the comfort of your home by pressing a button on the key fob, a luxury on bitter cold winter mornings or sweltering summer afternoons. A Panoramic roof is available on sedans, with panels that slide rearward creating a sunroof large enough for the back seat riders to enjoy an open-air experience.
New for 2007, the GTP sedan features a 3.6-liter V6 with variable valve timing and a six-speed automatic transmission. Hydraulic power steering is standard on all GT models, and head curtain side-impact airbags are standard on G6 sedan and coupe. G6 also gets 17-inch five-spoke, high-vent wheels for 2007, and a standard interior rearview electrochromic mirror with compass display. New exterior color options for 2007 include Blue-Gold Crystal Metallic and Dark Gray Steel Metallic.
The mission of the Pontiac G6 is to beat the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Mazda6 on value, a proposition bolstered by lower prices. While the G6 doesn't offer the refinement or attention to detail of its Japanese rivals, it's an alternative worth considering for shoppers in the mid-size car market. Buyers have plenty of body styles and options to choose from under the Pontiac G6 nameplate.
