Pontiac G5 Overview
Ostensibly replacing the Sunfire in the compact car segment, Pontiac released the 2-door coupe G5 in the U.S. for 2007. Billed as their lowest-priced offering, and almost identical to the Chevy Cobalt, it has been sold for the past two years in Canada as the Pursuit.
There is little to distinguish the 2007 G5 from its Cobalt kin, aside from a few minor cosmetic touches, like the Pontiac grille and a rear spoiler, and the presence of electronic steering in the place of hydraulic steering. However, it is a sporty-looking coupe, and the GT trim adds on more performance-oriented suspension, tires, and standard features, such as XM radio and cruise control, to enhance the driving experience.
Though not priced any lower than the Cobalt, and certainly unable to compete with compact offerings from Honda, Mazda, or Toyota, the 2007 G5 does offer a lot more standard features than these cars and gets comparable gas mileage. Pontiac hopes it will entice new drivers to the brand name with its sporty looks, economy car specs, and relatively affordable price.
It's too early to tell how well it will do with drivers, though early reports suggest most people find it fun to drive, the GT engine plenty powerful, and the handling easy and solid. Critics suggest that Pontiac might want to give the G5 some more unique styling and features and improve the quality of the interior, creating more of a distinct personality for their new compact.

What people say
Sporty little compact Pontiac coupe. Very aggressive handling, steering, and acceleration. The GT trim is fully loaded with black leather seats, leather steering wheel, steering wheel controls, and power sunroof. 17 inch rims with Pirelli PZero tires for ultimate grip under hard acceleration and braking. Very good value for the money. Great performance, fuel economy and luxury in a compact coupe. - Hats off to Pontiac for keeping the sports cars soul in all of their vehicles.
Very reliable, handles well in the snow, ice and rain. Has the Sun and Sound package which is awesome! Low maintenance. Comfortable ride. Back seats fold down for more room and storage. Clean body lines give it a nice sporty look.
This Pontiac has been consistently reliable for my family. She has driven us long distances, and has never quit on us. The only problem is the lack of leg room for tall men, which our family often hosts. It'll be a shame when we trade her in for a bigger car.
The G5 has amazing quality. It has many great interior freatures. The preformance is up to par with the competetion. The G5 has very low ownership costs. This is an exceptionally fun car to drive. I would reccomend this car to anyone.
Great car gas economy wise, but a little tight in the head room. The engine has great pick up for a 4 banger, and the trim is very cool. The stock stereo is not bad for a stock system without a sub.
