Extremely uncomfortable driver seat. This was the base model with cloth manual seats. They are too hard . see full Pontiac G6 review |

The back seat is not comfortable and has limited leg room. While the latter may be typical of some convertibles, leg room is less than on previous convertibles I have owned. see full Volkswagen Eos review |
