: Newbie: GTP Sedan 6-speed
Buick61 10-04-2005, 08:59 AM HI
Two weeks ago I bought a black '06 G6 GTP Sedan with the 6-speed manual. It has every option available (except the engine block heater...don't need that on Long Island).
I have about 515 miles on it. The panaromic roof looks sharp. But if you ask me, it lets in too much wind noise when closed and it creaks/rattles a touch more than I'd like.
Other than that, the car is great. I do miss the 300C I traded in for it though. It was faster, RWD, had a better sound system, did not have any rattles, and I just flat out liked the looks.
But the G6 is a nice compromise (I needed something more fuel efficient and more adept at city parking). The manual makes it very entertaining, and the XM and Onstar are fun gadgets.
Issues: Sometimes it keeps cranking even after the car has started (no, I'm not holding the key over to "start"). And the powersteering system shudders occasionally at low-speed.

Car will do that if you hold in start position too long. It is a controlled circuit. Try just bumping the key to start, releasing immediatly. The engine will continue to turn untill it starts.

cnagy65 10-04-2005, 02:27 PM Welcome and congratulations on the new GTP.
Im on Long Island too. I had a 350z before the GTP Coupe. The RWD was fun and the power was great, but being only a 2 seater I needed something bigger and something that can get me through the winter. I commute from West Hempstead to Hauppauge, so I wanted something more comfortable. And I actually dont miss the 350z. (well at least not yet).
I had the overstart problem just once when I first picked up the car. I was told just turn it and quickly release. Seems to work. Havent had it happen again, even though its only been a week (knock on wood).

eeeeeeee, yah. I don't think so :p
But the G6 isn't ugly, and that's good news.
