Have driven the G6 con, for three months with no objections. Both of us
enjoy the thing and have been able to compare it with most every conv.
save the Volvo (too expensive). Can't say it's totally silent what with
the Karmann mechanism rattling about in the trunk, but it's superior to
the ragtops and a little larger than the Eos.

Dickered for quite a long time for a black/black with premium package
with 3.5 engine. No real need for a race car but always wanted a
convertable...always. The cocoon of enclosure has even allowed us to
buzz around Maine with the top down even this last week. What fun. On a
more serious side, I did go for the extended warrantee to protect
myself from that relay in the starboard rear fender locker....arghhhh
if that ever goes with the top down!!!

So far we have a eleven hundred miles with no runs no drips no errors
....even no dings wince we park out at the edges of the Malls. Need to
walk anyways.

We have the G6 conv in red/black. Was able to drive it Saturday with the
top down. I think it's a very impressive bit of machinery.

We bought a white one with the 3.9L motor about 6 weeks ago. Neat.

We took it on a road trip towards El Paso where there is no traffic and
got it up to 100mph with no noticeable vibrations or noise increase. It
had some oomph left but I was chicken and not ready to pay a hefty fine.
I'm still curious if it would hit 140.

Had one little thing happen that I still don't understand. I parked and
locked the car with the top up and when I came back and unlocked the car
I could hear it unlocking but it would not let me in the car. I
fiddled with the key fob switch and it finally let me in. Then when I
got home it did not want to let me out. But this only happened once and
it was weeks ago so hopefully I did something the computer was not ready
for but we are back to normal.

We also bought an extended warranty, mostly for the top mechanism since
it will be getting a workout.

I definitely like my Blue/Gold with a 3.9 in it. I got it at end of July and
have 1700 miles on it. The top gets a work out in Arizona this time of year.
The only gripe I have is the windscreen option, which I thought would reduce
wind on the back seat passengers, but it seems it is a totally useless
option since you can't actually sit in the back seat with it installed.
Definitely a waste of money.
