Used 2009 Pontiac G8 Sedan Consumer Reviews
I switched from a BMW 545i
Just purchased a Panther Metalic Black Onix/Red G8 GT. Did a lot of research and test driving prior to buying on 3- 30-09. I am 52 Yrs old and owned/driven nothing but Porsche,BMW, and Mercedes most of my adult life. I am a total Car Fanatic and love to drive. For the overall driver the BMW is by far the best, but it comes at a price. My most recent BMW was a 545i which I purchased new in '05. I started getting tired of the cost of owning these cars and drove the G8 GT two months ago, and was hooked. It is far from a BMW or Mercedes in terms of luxury and overall ride, but for the $ the G8 GT was good enough to convert me. It is a total buyers market, now is a great time to buy.
best car on the market.
test drove G8 and test drove 2010 Camero enjoyed G8 more. great handling,very roomy, plenty of power for v6, got premium package, cant ask nothing more out of this car.

Amazing car at any price
I purchased my 2009 Maverick Silver G8 GT in lieu of a BMW 550. Not only was the G8 almost $50,000 less than the BMW, it actually performed better. I am 6'4" and weigh 330lbs. I fit perfectly in the car. On the road, I average 28mpg, and about 15mpg around town. The car is very quick, and handles well. It has been trouble free up to this point, and believe it or not, the car is quite exclusive. I can go a month without ever seeing one on the road, and I live in N. Dallas. Sadly, the G8 is no more, but the legend will live on. I am very happy with my purchase.
The G8 is great!
This car is simply an amazing value. It is extremely powerful, roomy, suave and tons of fun to drive. It's family friendly too! Go buy one, what are you waiting for!?
G8 Has It All
Have put 1000 miles on it. Car feels very solid but nimble. This is the only car I could find that has great handling plus a great ride at a low price--every other car make you pick any 2 of those. Averaging 18mpg in city/suburban driving, haven't done a long highway trip yet. V8 was fun but V6 has all the power I need.
