Used 2009 Pontiac G8 Consumer Reviews
Awesome Ride
I bought this car to replace my aging Trans Am. I am completely overjoyed with this sporty sedan...perfect blend of speed and comfort. Everything about this car is outstanding, from appearance, to acceleration, to creature comforts, to gas mileage, and so on. The size of the car is just right for handling, while the space provided for the driver and adult passengers in more than sufficient. The trunk is huge! The best part (of course) is when my friends review the car and then stand in total amazement when I tell them the cost -- very reasonable for everything you get. I can't believe I don't see more of this caron the road...people don't know what they're missing!
Loving My Liquid Red G8 GT!
I bought this car after test driving a handful of cars. This one put all of them to shame, including a Camaro SS that I test drove! The interior is slick and once you get used to the climate and audio controls, it's easy to get to the stuff you want. On the outside, the car looks absolutely fantastic. I love my 19" machined-face rims. I have gotten so many looks and so much attention from people! From stares on the street, to people staring at me from their cars, and even one guy pulling up next to me and honking at me to roll my window down so he could ask me about it! This baby hauls too! You will pay for all the fun with your gas, though. I don't know, I think it's totally worth it!

Vicious and Delicious
I love being able to roll up next to someone driving an Acura or Infiniti or BMW 3/5 series and then smoke them off the line. They had no idea. I've not had one problem with the car. The best experience is driving this car around town and everyone looking at it because you don't see these cars everyday.. And the ride is very comfortable.
I'll never own a BMW again!
Considered the G8 among others including MB C350, BMW 550i. MB too small, 550i too pricey and rode way too rough. The G8 is my 'Goldilocks' car, just right, and 1/2 the price of the Beemer! Can't get over the value for the dollar. Have owned MB, BMW, Lexus before, every time I mash the go pedal the status issue disappears! Mileage on the road was actually 24.5, in town about 16-17 mixed driving. Can't tell when cylinder deactivation happens, but big v8 vibrates at idle like my old Camaro, shouldn't happen today. Lots of room in back for 6+ footers, huge trunk, a great 'family car' that will still open your sinuses from adrenaline when pushed. compliant but firm ride. Buy 1, You won't be sorry!
Excitement back at Pontiac
This car is fast, really fast. There isn't another car in this price range that even comes close to the fun, the speed, the features and the comfort. You just can't buy a big, 5 adult fitting car that can do the quarter mile under 14 seconds and reach 60 mph in under 6 seconds for anything close to $30,000. Not only is it great in a straight line, but it corners great as well. It has a huge trunk, and the stereo is as loud and as clear as any factory stereo I've ever heard. Yeah, the fuel mileage isn't great, but it exactly what I expected and gets the fuel mileage that is advertised.
