Toyota Camry Hybrid vs. Pontiac G6 Review

Utility
The Pontiac G6 and the Toyota Camry Hybrid can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the G6 packs quite a wallop and will knock the Toyota Camry Hybrid down a few rungs. However, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The Pontiac G6's tank is approximately the same size as the Toyota Camry Hybrid's, though the Toyota Camry Hybrid's is somewhat larger. The Pontiac G6 and the Toyota compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You'll definitely have to take the Pontiac G6 for a fill-up more often than the Toyota because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Pontiac G6 to the dealership as the Toyota Camry Hybrid. The Pontiac G6 will tax your gas budget tremendously more than the Toyota Camry Hybrid will. The Toyota Camry Hybrid will save you money at the pump compared to the Pontiac G6. The Toyota isn't much more expensive than the Pontiac G6 regarding MSRP. The Pontiac G6 will cost you a bundle in gasoline every year compared to the Camry Hybrid.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Pontiac G6 and the Toyota Camry Hybrid most definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Toyota's engine is somewhat smaller than the Pontiac G6's, but not terribly so. The Toyota Camry Hybrid could learn a lesson or two from the Pontiac G6 when it comes to torque.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Pontiac G6 offers a bit more head room than the Toyota Camry Hybrid, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Toyota Camry Hybrid make it significantly more spacious for your passengers than the Pontiac G6.

Warranty
The Toyota and the G6 have the same basic warranty.
