Moved from 1996 Impala SS to Pontiac G8 GT. Love the handling, acceleration, highway mileage, trunk space. Find the "A" pillar a bit distracting since it contains airbags. Car is a great highway driver but the instrument cluster reflects glare. This deficiency disappears at night and it is easy to see all information. Two irritations (1) seat back tilt is by a hard-to-reach wheel on the outside of the back. (2) The entire interior is black so it is difficult to find a dropped object; day or night!

I have driven the 2009 G8 GT for a week now. It is a great handling car with unbelievable power.The gas mileage seems reasonable considering the horsepower. I have not had a car that I have enjoyed driving this much since I owned a late sixties GTO. Pontiac really got this one right.

G8 GT - The Car I Didn't Know I Wanted

I thought my next new vehicle would be a compact electric or diesel SUV, until an unplanned test drive of the '09 Pontiac G8 GT placed it in my driveway. It is more than the silky power that keeps a smile on my face, and makes me find more excuses to drive more often. Over 3600 of the 6000 km in the first month of ownership was on a single round trip over mountain highways. Fully loaded with family treasures, we averaged 9.1 L/100 km. Great seat design and driving position allowed two daily legs of 1100 km with complete comfort. The handling inspires confidence and low stress on the twisties and road irregularities. All features demonstrate thoughtful, quality design and manufacturing care.

G8-Late in 08

Great exterior styling, nice cool interior, except for the center battery and oil display (ugh!). Also, someone forgot to install the trunk sound dampening material lining; the dealer put in 09 sound material. Our 1996 Bonneville SSEi has a heads- up display and I wonder why Pontiac never pushed this and/or continued this cool feature in other models. Anyway, we like our White Hot G8 a lot; and, there aren't that many G8's on the road it seems and that's cool. It drives well, is tight on curves and moves out when you want to. It feels sturdy and solid-well put together.
