The primary point here is the G6's wheelbase,which is about 130 mm longer than those of its key competitors. This means it'seasy for everyone to exit-entry, and the tallest and widest persons will findit expansive and much more comfortable.
Personally, I hate cars that make me feelcramped, and that applies to many of the cars in this segment. For sure I'm anuber-big guy, but I can't believe that more normal size people wouldn'tappreciate the extra space.
More than comfort is in play here, sincesitting too close to the wheel or the door can be dangerous. Pontiac G6 thereforeprovides you with what you might call a personal buffer, and that's a very goodthing.
For reasons of comfort and style, then, thisis a very nice car to spend time it, and in less than a year you'll be able toorder it with
You may have noticed that, so far, I have notmentioned what is supposed to be Pontiac
From that perspective, all that stuff about''total performance'' and ''four-wheel sport-tuned independent suspension'' and''razor-sharp handling'' and other whoopy-zoomy features makes for a verycompetent and comfortable car in every real world situation you will encounter.
As the vehicle line executive of the G6 andtherefore the person most responsible for its development, Canadian GeneStefanyshyn has also made sure that it will do exceptionally well should youever make the wrong left turn coming home from the grocery store and end up inthat speedier plane of existence.
G6 is a lot more capable than it needs to befor the kind of quotidian life it will live because it shares the same Epsilonarchitecture as cars that will often be driven harder, such as theOpel/Vauxhall Vectra and the Saab 9.3.
Even if you don't get a chance to experiencethe G6's sporty character very often,Pontiac
That longer-than-average cabin also allowsthe insertion of that optional Panoramic roof, which is a four-panel,electronically-operated glass roof. Three of the four panels sliderearward (the fourth panel acts as an air deflector), creating a sunroof largeenough for even the rear-seat passengers to enjoy the experience.
Sunroofs are awaste of money, as far as I am concerned, but if you like them, thisone-of-a-kind (inNorth America , at any rate)is the technology's Wayne Gretzky.
Finally, a wordabout the G6's engine. Most importantly, it suits Canadian and American drivinghabits, since it delivers great and timely quantities of the torque (up to 220lb-ft of it) that delivers sold launch and passing skills to the front wheelsthrough a four-speed automatic transmission. It would have been better if GMhad a five- or six-speed automatic ready now for this car, for mileage reasonsif nothing else, but it doesn't. That will undoubtedly follow in due time.
