2009 Pontiac G8 GT Review
ProsMuscle-car looks, practical, fast, handles well, great interior, good value ConsGas mileage could be a little better, still a few tiny things in the interior that need work, overall nothing really negative.

The 2009 Pontiac G8 Gt — This car is exactly what Pontiac has needed. It has superb quality and fit and finish is amazing! The performance is super. The truly wonderful thing about the G8 is the fact that it is practical, yet definitely a performance vehicle. The gas mileage is ok, but I guess good for a car with a 6.0L V8. The G8 is quiet, fun to drive, and good lookin. GM has definitely done an exceptional job on this car. Bravo! Now if only the rest of the Pontiac lineup was this good...

The Dingo Makes It To America — Rare breed on this side of the world. Thankfully some of them made it in before Pontiac went bye bye. Simply a rebadged Holden HSV8, this thing HAULS!! It looks sporty and aggressive and with a few tweaks became very fun to drive. Handling isnt its best dance but then again, its a full sized car. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsPower, style, handling, rarity, the "This car only costs how much" comments. ConsGM is incompetent (which is why they needed to be "bailed out") and killed Pontiac whereas they could have kept it as a niche brand to keep G8 and Solstice

Bmw Killer — This was (and is) one of GM's best efforts in a performance sedan. It has the options to be cool and the performance to be extremely fun. The fit anf finish is very good. I am 6'5" and the seats fit and feel good. This car is very rewarding to drive. The Passport radar detector should come standard on this and the CTS-V. When was the last time you loved, I mean loved....any car? This car is truly one you can love with a capitol L. It is a sport sedan, so not for snow driving...but that's why SUV's exist. If you want a collector that is super fun, and will get more valuable over time (if you can find one) get this car. It has been a trouble free blast to own. | ||

Fun To Drive But A Gas Guzzler And No True Value For Money Either — amazing engine performance, minimal braking distance required from 140-0, sharp looks and typical GM low grade plastic interior, many manufacturing defects to begin with therefore many trips to the dealer required ,stock wheels have a chronic vibrating at 90-110 disorder Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

G8 With The V8 — Everything about this car is great! The performance, the ride, the braking and most importantly the engine. The car gets good milage but I didn't buy a V8 to get good gas mileage. This is my first "GM" car and I love it!! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Best Value Car On The Planet. — This is the best car in Pontiac's history. It handles like a BMW although it is smoother over bumps. It's 6 litre engine has 361 hp, and it will probably be the last big engined passenger car from an American company. It's fast, comfortable, has a great stereo, and has cavernous amount of room for a big guy like me and my big kids. And I can blow away every Mustang GT and Charger/Challenger that stops next to me. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Hot Rod With Room For A Family Of 5 — The best Pontiac ever built. I've owned 3 Pontiacs in the past 15 years and my new G8 GT is a HUGE upgrade. It's really gorgeous looking and turns heads. Then you get on the 6.0 liter V8 and it turns more heads. Handles like a car half the size/weight. I can't recommend this car enough. A true performance bargain for a 4 door sedan with room for the whole family but lots of fun to drive at the same time. Do your self a favor and get the Onyx/Red interior. It really looks MUCH better than just Onyx. Also adds some red on the gauges otherwise it's black as far as the eye can see. | ||

I Wish I Could Have A Whole Stable Of G8's Across The Color & Performance Spectrum! — I love my G8. I am overly pleased with this car. It handles great (even in snow as a RWD!), has a unique & well laid out interior, and has all the features you'd expect for $30k. The G8 has a serious fun factor! |
