TO THE POINT What’s New? The Pontiac G6 Coupe is all new for 2006.
Selling Points: Comfortable front seats, decent array of options, rebates
Deal Breakers: A sports coupe without the sport, high as-tested price
Our Advice: Even with GM’s recent price reductions, we’d skip the mediocre G6 Coupe and focus on the Honda Accord Coupe, Toyota Solara, or the value-ridden Ford Mustang.

Click to enlarge. 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP Coupe FAQs The 2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe comes with an unimpressive three-years/36,000-miles of powertrain coverage, but performed well in government frontal crash tests. Are either of these enough to warrant its purchase over a Honda Accord or Toyota Solara? Probably not.

What kind of warranty coverage is offered with the 2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe? The 2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe comes with three years or 36,000 miles of basic and powertrain coverage and rust protection for six years or 100,000 miles. In comparison, Ford offers the same coverage for the 2006 Mustang, except rust protection spans five years and unlimited mileage. Honda and Toyota offer five years or 60,000 miles of powertrain coverage.

Is there a reason to buy the 2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe rather than a Honda Accord Coupe or Toyota Solara? There’s always the domestic approach, with the mentality being that buying a Pontiac is more American than, say, a Honda or Toyota. Of course, that only counts if you ignore the fact that the Accord Coupe and Solara are both built in the U.S. Then there’s the issue of styling, where some buyers may prefer the subtle differences offered on the G6. And last, but certainly not least, is the Pontiac’s newly lowered price. Are these reasons enough to justify buying the G6? Not if it’s our money being spent.

How does the 2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe perform in crash tests? In front crash impact tests performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe received five out of five stars for the driver and four stars for the passenger. Five stars were also awarded for the vehicle’s rollover rating.
