Used 2009 Pontiac G8 Sedan Consumer Reviews
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!
A lot of car and fun for the money
I had been researching my new car purchase for well over a year before I decided on the G8 GT. The overall feel of the car is great. It has plenty of power and just as important it has plenty of back seat leg room, 6'+ adults are quite comfortable. I've owned the car for 2 months now and accumulated over 3500 miles. Average mileage has been 18 mpg but I have not had much highway time yet. Taking a 1000 trip in two weeks so that will tell me what the real mileage is like.

GT Oh G8
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).
What a shame
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.
Screaming Bargain
After looking for a used G8 GT and considering other mid sized vehicles, the dealer offered me a new G8 for about what a used one would cost. I love being able to blow off ANY Acura's, Infinity's, Lexus's, and most BMW's at a fraction of their cost. Gas mileage on the first three tanks is 21 with a mix of city/hwy/and quite a few WOT demos for friends and family.Should improve as it gets broken in.Handling is great and the ride is a good compromise, interior space is better than anything else in this price range. Anyone considering a midsize/large vehicle should drive the GT, as it is, by far, the best value in the market today.In the future the government will outlaw cars this fun!
