While targeting those who like to drive, the new G6 coupe will also be nicely appointed. The expected power windows and locks will be standard, as will remote keyless entry. When climbing inside pay heed to the indexing door window glass, which pops 6 mm (0.25 inches) downward when opening and then slides back up into place when the door is fully shut, sealing out exterior noise, odors and climate. A premium audio system will also be part of the package, with a dash-mounted 6CD changer and available XM satellite radio. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and "highly-bolstered" sports seats are also included.

As I mentioned earlier, the G6 coupe is said to offer easy rear-seat entry, thanks mostly to the previously stated extra long wheelbase as well as doors that are 152.4 mm (6 inches) longer than the G6 sedan's front doors, and on average about 50 to 75 mm (2 to 3 inches) longer than doors on most rivals' coupes. The doors also integrate counterweights which reportedly make them feel light and easy to manage. Of course, longer doors may mean getting out when parked in tight spaces beside other cars is more of a challenge than on the G6 sedan, for instance, but this problem is par for the course with two-door models.
