This car is good for someone buying their first new vehicle. Other than that stay away from this car. The inside is plastic, and feels like its going to fall apart. The handling is crappy and that is putting it nicely. It is supposed to have about 148 HP but it feels like 100. The suspension is terrible. The road noise is outrageous and the radio signal is bad. You get static all the time.

i bought the G5 GT because i wanted a new car. i cant be happyer with the car i picked. this car is very powerfull for a 4cyl i have taken to the 1/4 mile and ran a 15.03 all stock with the 2.4 5 speed. i have 30k on it already and my dealer has not seen it ones. i get 40mpg on the highway and 33 in the city. the ride is very nice. the car stoped on a dime and the inside is nice and laid out right with not to many bottons. the seats are for good for long driveing. i just drove it on a 31 hour one was trip and it was great. would def but another one.

Lovin my G-5

I bought my car about a month ago in June. I am always finding a way to drive my car, or I am always telling my friends and family I will drive! I love getting up in morning to go to work so I can just drive my car! I am also loving the gas mileage!

Becoming irritated with my G-5

I bought my G-5 last July as sort of an impulse buy, part of the "new me" I wish I would have done more research on this vehicle. I also wish I would have known that Pontiac was going under and that right now i can buy my car for as cheap as $10,000! Anyways, I drive my car 90 miles round trip to school and it's never left me on the side of road. In the year i've had it though, its been to the shop twice for annoying squeeks. One is in the rear brakes (they said nothing was wrong), and the sunroof squeeks. Also, when i make a turn the car twist and pops the sunroof out of the roof. The crome on the door handles peeled off. The warranty for Pontiac is nice, but not bringing it in for repairs.

Sports car in disguise

I have had my G5 preferred package in competition yellow for 4 months now and I love it. I like that there are not many on the road so people tend to do a double take when I drive by. Lots of people wanna race (maybe because it's yellow) which I think is ridiculous with fuel prices being so high. I commute 74 miles one way to work on highways, freeways and city streets with lots of hills and I am averaging 29.5 mpg. Just as good as a scion tc but way cheaper.
