Great ride

Bought in Jan and love the ride and quick steering response. I have one issue with the car. It sounds and feels like the engine "flutters" when I am cruising down the road, whether I'm going 20 or 65MPH. As soon as I give it a little bit of gas it goes away and evens out. Dealer told me it was the norm for this car. Does anyone else have this issue? Getting about 19.8 MPG avg and performance and responsiveness is great..just have the flutter.

Lot's of LOOKs for this Very Very Red GT G8. Great ride, quiet, loads of fun, quick, agile, giant back seat - leg room and then some. Wonderful gas mileage - 18 mpg plus. Nice Blaupunkt stereo SiriusXM Radio is great. I really like the OnStar for handsfree calling and directions when needed (you get to talk to a REAL person).

Just bought my first American car in 25 years and I come to find that GM is killing it. No wonder they are bankrupt. GM listen to your customers not the bean counters. I have just bought mine three days ago and an in love with it. The performace for the dollar is second to none, and I don't mind driving in rush hour traffic.

Best Car I've Ever Driven/Owned

2009 Pontiac G8 GXP 4dr Sedan (6.2L 8cyl 6A)

After quite a bit of research, I purchased a slate blue, G8 GXP with a manual transmission. It's truly a Corvette for a family of five. It has more space, the same or better performance and is more fun to drive then an M5. I'm not interested in tons of electronics that will only fail and cause problems. This car is such fun to drive, I will never sell it. The fuel economy is great for the power/performance level. I get 20-22 mpg in mixed driving with the manual trans!

Stryker Blue Streak

I just bought a 2009 G8 GT, Stryker blue. The color was chosen by my wife, I wanted Panther black but I am getting used to it! The car rides very well in comparison to my 2004 GTO. The ride is firm but not as harsh as the GTO. I have not really pushed the G8 yet but I expect great performance. Fit and finish are very good. My wife has received many compliments on the car's appearance. It has sleek and muscular lines. Difficult to combine but the G8 has them. I looked at the new CTS but the G8 offered a V8, Cadillac didn't, plus, at a lower price point ($10K). I looked at several imports, but I have bought American for over 25 years. Congratulations to GM for importing this fine car.
