Just a few general observations.
1: If most of your driving is heavy stop/go communter type, consider
how much gear rowing you'll do with the 6 speed/automatic. A few miles
a day is OK, but long hauls at 5 MPH takes skills to not wear out your
left foot.
2: CD changeer is the way to go just to keep the inside neat. An
interface port for an IPOD/MPG Player gives you an option as well.
3: Look into the cost of an after market system vs. OEM. Optional OEM
sound systems is a large mark-up item. Monsoon is a good way to go if
your considering a convertable.
4: If not going for a convertible, consider a sun roof.
Post back with an update when you get the G6 home.

OK, now have about 350 miles on my 6spd. GT. Mileage about 19.5
Shifter is a bit "notchy" but shorter throw than my previous (1998 GT 4
cyl. 5 speed. - and that car was a bit hard to find!) Car is
confortable to sit in, physically, I had more interior storage in the
'98, and trunk is smaller (especially the opening), arm rest was better
positioned, better interior lighting (foot wells, 2 reading lights due
to sun roof, steering seemed a bit lighter). Miss my radio/cd which
had a 5 band equalizer, but the monsoon cd changer not bad. Of course,
major difference w/6cyl over the 4. Oh well, progress...

There's a "sport package" which also adds the above as well as stability
control and rear spoiler.

Does that package also come with the convertible?...if so I may take another
look.

Yes it does. I have it in My vert G6. I did not order the stick shift though
because the wife would trash the clutch

The website says the convertible only comes with the 4 spd auto trans.

I would wait and get one with the 3.6 eng. Smaller yet more performance.
