2006 Pontiac SV6 Review:
I am surprised with the GM built vehicle. Design is better than any Japanese brand. Standard features such as ABS braking,DVD,regular unleaded fuel,immobilizer,alarm,power package, On Star, cruise etc. Very fuel efficient engine with lots of power on the road.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac SV6?
Adjustable drivers seat, great for long trips, the DVD player, The longer SUVish nose is great, I can actually see where my bumper is when I parallel park! Trip computer is good for trips as well.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac SV6?
Passenger access to the third seat is difficult. Design second row seats to move sideways to allow easier access.
2006 Pontiac SV6 Review:
The fit, trim and overall attention to detail is excellent. The visibility is good. Driver positiion is excellent. The DVD player is awesome. Why didn't they have this when our kids were younger?

2006 Pontiac SV6 Review:
I am so glad that I went with this minivan compared to others. It looks more like an SUV and I get so many complements on the inside and outside. I would recommend this van to anyone who wants an SUV with out the high insurance and the high price of an SUV.

2006 Pontiac SV6 Review:
Best Value comes in great quality. This SUV look alike van does not have the "soccer mom" image. Roomy interior and lots of cargo space. Enough power for highway and uphill driving. Fuel economy is better than Mazda 'MPV'. Montana SV6 runs on economical unleaded gas vs Nissan 'Quest' uses only EXPESNIVE premium unleaded gas.

2006 Pontiac SV6 Review:
We really didn't want to purchase a minivan, but it was really our only option based on our space requirements. I will only buy GM products, so the SV6 was a natural choice. I was not too keen on it at first (I would have rather had an SUV), but it has grown on me since. I really enjoy driving it (not as much as my Sierra though) and I am impressed with the overall package. If it turns out to be as great as my truck, I will be very happy.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Pontiac SV6?
Powered doors, DVD player, "i" center info display, interior and exterior design, remote start, flip-up console between seats.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac SV6?
Better and thicker carpet- it seems "thin" power outlet 1/2" off the floor- too low needs power rear door- not just the sides higher quality plastics(or better molding techniques?)-feels brittle. minor nit- deeper wells for the flip-up console/cup holders.
2006 Pontiac SV6 Review:
We bought our 2005 sv6 using the employee discount and paid $25k for a $31k model. Bronze ext., tan int. In the month or so that we've owned the car, we've loved the design- both interior and exterior, enjoy the DVD (I was originally lukewarm about this feature) and my wife loves the powered doors. Performance is adequate, but no more than that. Fuel economy is fine for this type of vehicle. The jury is still out on the usefulness of the storage box behind the rear seat. Sometimes we use it, sometimes not (usually not). At least it's removeable. Overall, we've truly enjoyed our purchase and with 2 kids (and a 3rd due in April) we need this vehicle's versatility more than ever!
