Before I bought my Pontiac G6, I looked at a lot of cars. I went online and researched the options I wanted and needed. I needed a car that had enough room for my dogs, when I travel, without being cramped. I wanted a car that had a big enough engine to climb hills easily, and it does.

I like that you have to go into the trunk to release the back seats when you want them put down, it gives added security to the trunk area.

At first, after the economy tanked, I almost regreted buying my car, but it is a great car and the gas mileage is as good or better that a lot of the economy cars coming out. On the open road, depending on the road condition, I get from 35 to 40 MPG. Around town, usually 27 MPG.

The tires are a bit expensive tho, but I shopped around when I replaced them. At Les Scwab I bought all four for a little over 600.00, a lot, but less expensive than other places.

The seats could be better, but overall, I love the car.

At one time, a few months ago, they were going to continue the Pontiac G6 (or a variation of the series, can't quite remember), but, these days, nothing is written in stone. Guess I will just locate a good mechanic when I can no longer get service from a Pontiac dealer.
When thinks started tanking, I was pretty sure the repair service would become a growing job market, lots of people keeping, rather than replacing.

Nope. But I do have another old car no longer made...an Oldsmobile.

That is sad all the way around. All the people out of work, I hope you are not one of them.

Bye-bye Pontiac. :( :( GM plans on shutting the entire Pontiac line down. Sad.
