Used 2009 Pontiac G8 Consumer Reviews
Let's go somewhere
Had an'03 BMW 325i that I drove to 100K miles, then an '08 Accord V6 that I hated from day 2...their cylinder deactivation was very noticeable, and now have 2K miles on '09 G8 GT. Have the same feeling for the G8 that I had for the BMW...let's go somewhere! Don't think I will ever get tired of that sweet engine rumble. Lived in Australia for a few years as a teen and admired the Holden's back then so great to have one stateside now. I'm in sales and live in my car. Very impressed with interior ergonomics, sound system, seat comfort, and low interior noise level on the highway. Way to go gm. Wasn't sure I would ever buy another one. Now if this car just got the hwy mileage of a vette.
For folks tired of European car prices!
This car is the perfect replacement for people, like me, who are tired of the ever increasing price of Audis, BMWs, Volvos etc.. No price gouging on the options packages either. There are only three options, and they are all very reasonably priced. Just try to get a Sports Package on a European car for under $600! The car is an incredible value. Fast, great handling, great build quality, great looking. Also very quiet and comfortable. I've had M3s, 3 Series, 5 Series, SAABs and my last car was a Volvo S60R. This car shames them all, and at this price it's a knock out in the first round!
What a Pontiac
All i can say is this is the best car i ever owned. I can't understand why Pontiac didn't bring this car over sooner. I love the power of the v8 and the mpg are great for the engine size. This car to me handles better than the BMW 5 series. Pontiac needs to do a lot more advertising with this car. Its a 4 door vette. You cant go wrong with this one. It was sold before i even test drove it
Great Car, Great Deal
I had been waiting for this to happen for some time. And it was worth it. I looked long and hard at the competition - Malibu, Accord, Altima, Camry, Sonata, Lucerne, etc. but this was the winner. I didn't buy it for the rear wheel drive, but for the size and style. It is very sporty looking, agressive even. The interior is clean, uncluttered, and straightforward. The switch gear location, designed to make the switch from right hand drive in Australia, to left hand drive in the US takes some getting used to, but it isn't too big a deal. I am extremely happy so far, and so glad to be ride of my 2002 Camry. This is a much more exciting car.
Beautiful car one concern
I have had this car for a week now love it. This is my first American made car. Very fun and quick car. What attracted me to this car was it put you in the mind of a BMW and not only that its a pretty red car but the fact is it was not many on the road which could be a bad or good thing but my thought was it would a good thing because it stands out from all the other cars and it does just that. People are always take a second look and comment on how beautiful my G8 GT is.
