The Pontiac G6 GTP is Better Than Expected | Review

Review | This Pontiac G6 GTP turned out to be a lot more fun than we expected. With an upgraded engine and suspension, the GTP is no ordinary G6.
The Pontiac is powered by a GM 3.9L V6 pushing 240 horsepower. In today's episode we're gonna take it for a test drive through the curves and see just how good of a car it is. We'll discuss the specs, interior, and driving experience of this 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP.

G6’s are pretty slept on, funny seeing peoples faces when they go to cut me off and get stopped. don’t tail gate peeps, also the GT, GTP and GXP share the upgraded suspension parts 🤙🏻

I got an 09 white gxp and it does work

[@slicedlimes7948]

I got an 06 gtp, people don’t easily cut me off either lol, they never see it coming when I hit go

[@hu3965]

I got a 07 gt and let me tel you. Thai fucking think is fun

[@cooper25ism]

i love these they’re so comfortable inside, they are quick, suspension soft, and soft steering. it literally feels like driving an infiniti g35 (great car)

[@alexis.555]

soft steering is funny because my power steering went out because i have a leak from lord knows what and i drive it like that because it’s 1,000 to get fixed… and it really changes how great it was before the steering went out

[@chango.-.]

This thing kicks ass as a daily driver!! I've got a 3.6 GT that I occasionally run doordash in, the stock sound system is REALLY good. It has enough power to get wand go when needed, the Ebrake being so accessible is a plus and it's really reliable. Wound up in a ditch had to replace the suspension and the frame was bent. 10k miles later it drives like nothing happened. First time car or just need something to abuse? I recommend this car!

[@ivmurk21]

I had the GXP coupe version of this car and it was great for me. It went on 8 cross country road trips with no issues other than a heater core hose. I think I paid $12,000 for it almost new in 2010, and back then it was a head turner with the body kit & huge rear wing. Kind of funny I’ve owned cars upwards of $100,000 but I always find myself searching up g6 videos for the nostalgia 😝

[@Sssam295]

I’m picking mine up tomorrow I’m so excited!

[@nysavvy9241]

My 07 g6 gr8 coupe is a really good car. Still turns heads. Plenty of power in 3.5 liter V6. Doors are very solid and so is this car. I have mine since early 2009. Was a dealer demo...hanging on to it for now. Very reliable as well.

What happened to it?

[@bigsexy8723]

About 8 years ago my mom had his car and I was using it one night coming home these guys at 2:00 a.m. blocked the road with their late 90s mustang I knew they were out there to rob people luckily I got by them and floored it for a few miles and I was surprised how fast the car was Pontiac G6 was awesome.

[@kj_sh604]

Keep going guys! I like your content and I hope more subs come in as time goes on ✨

[@voidlight6006]

I have this car and I honestly love it, I upgraded the suspension got nice tires and a cold air intake and it feels way more powerful than it should.

[@ray5357]

I want to do some similar stuff to mine (a convertible GTP). Still is stock for the most part, just plasti-dipped the emblems and grill. Some nice black rims, CAI, and a wing would make it look and ride awesome

[@sep4405]

@@ray5357 How much gas does it cost? I’m planning on buying a used one for $3000 which is surprisingly cheap but I have no idea of cars or anything about cars cuz dis would be my first time buying and owning one😂😂😂. But ur help would be very much appreciated 🙏🏿

i have a 2006 g6 gtp coupe…. my first car and i love it but im having so many problems with the steering 💔 my power steering has had a leak for 7 months now and its so expensive to fix ughh

[@SirT80]

I had a navy blue 2008 G6 GT sedan and it was nice for the time! Responsive, good hydraulic steering, and fairly stable. The issue I had was with every turn on the street, the gas hand dropped. No joke! I seen it go from half a tank to 1/4 tank by making a turn. Then it would recover in about a minute but not quite back to half. The dealership/service couldn’t find a problem.

[@lemonine2712]

[@SirT80]

@@lemonine2712 so strange!

[@kastellolo5212]

That was probably the sending unit. I had the same problem in my 07 GT, I could never knew how much gas I really had. So I dropped the tank and replaced the fuel lever sensor. That was a few weeks ago. Problem solved.

I currently have a 06 gtp 6 speed and i love it. Way better than an automatic.

[@WillCtheMechDrummer]

[@Erplane1]

I had an '07 GTP Sedan, bought it as a dealer managers car with 4k miles. I used to keep it in a garage in Brooklyn, with a bunch of Audis, Mercs, etc in there. She looked perfectly appropriate in that garage. Her engine was throaty and robust, I loved her. I only sold her to buy a G8 GT, the greatest Pontiac I've ever owned. I'd like to buy a mint used GTP convertible, tho it has the more sluggish 3.9L 6.

[@ThePoisonlab]

Cool review, should review those old firebirds😁

[@enhancementtank5876]

He not ready

[@Kutrey]

I just bought one today that's identical to that in every way except I got a manual and can say already I will be loving this car for years. Took over a year to find one with low enough miles (76K on it) and rust free but it happened. So thank you for making this video that I watched when my hunt for one first started because I might not have been as eager to look for one had I not seen this. If you are ever in Michigan you are more than welcome to try it out.

[@kastellolo5212]

I know you will enjoy it. I bought mine with 107k miles in Phoenix at a used car lot in 2020. It is a 2007 GT standard transmission. If you haven't done already, find a 2009 or 2010 G6 with the upgraded instrument panel and swap it. You will get the drive information center there, instead of the factory radio. That way you can install any better unit without losing all that data. Also I came across a 2007 GXP and got the spoiler. My car looks better with it. Good look!!!!

[@filegumbo]

I test drove this car in 2006. Hurricane Katrina had killed everything I owned. I could not really get the dealer to bargain so I passed, eventually buying a 2006 Honda Civic EX, coupe. Come to think of it, those two cars have almost identical, body styles.

[@bignix23]

I got an 07 GT with the 6 speed F-40 trans. It is fun, but the manuals in these cars are clunky. Not really meant for speed shifting (especially first to second, due to big ratio difference)

[@Llggd]

I have a comp g gtp. I have owned modded older wrxs and an 8th gen modded civic si in the past and this thing is surprisingly faster and slightly less agile than any of those. The comp g is modded too but it's so unsuspecting. The torque is instant and it corners almost as good as my prior cars. I have recently embarrassed a golf r and a lancer evo X just on the highway. They probably could of beat me if they took me seriously 😆
