  • I restored this Pontiac and tried to sell it on @Cars & Bids but it was rejected! It's ok, they were nice about it.
    In this video today, I try to make the case for why this G6 GT Convertible was worthy of being considered by going through some history of Pontiac, a walk-around of the interior and exterior, and going on a drive with the top up and down.
    Pontiac was on it's way out when this was produced in 2009. Even though it has a 227-ish HP V6 and is the "GT" trim, it is not sporty whatsoever. The best part about this vehicle by far is the retractible hardtop and the interior spacing. It's surprising how slow this feels, and how much body roll there is, but the flip side of this is my entire family, including two car seats, sat comfortably inside on some slow cruises around town.
    Overall, if you're looking for an extremely comfortable car that you can periodically, put the top down for cruising around town, these are very inexpensive ($3000-$4000 for good examples) and decently common in most part of the US.

    I always like the idea of this car… affordable alternative and stylish. We have the Pontiac Solstice’s brother the Saturn Sky and we love it!

    I miss the G8 line the most, the solstice GXP was also really cool.

      The g8 might be the only non-forced induction vehicle that you like ;)

    @Bad ideas Garage, do you think you can tell me how to use a tps reset tool? I have the exact same SVC Tire monitor warning on my 2009 g6 convertible and I don't want to go to belle tire and get it fixed there haha.

      I bought the tool on Amazon - it’s less than $10 and works in 3 seconds lol it was annoying to have to buy a tool but I could never get the relearn sequence to work. amzn.to/4ckhr6C

    You say you replaced the tonneau cover. Where did you find one? I would love to find a new one.

    there is something terribly wrong with that car. My 2009 sedan witch is probably heavier than that has the 3.5 v6 and mine is not even close to as slow as yours. Mines pretty quick actually.

      Well, it’s in the junkyard now.

      the hardtop convertible adds 500 pounds. It's also .1 inches longer than the sedan.
