Used 2009 Pontiac G8 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Great Car
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.
Amazing Pontiac
This is one amazing car and one of the best bargains in cars anywhere. This car will outperform a lot of cars costing a lot more money. Everyone who sees it and rides in it loves it and thinks it cost a lot more than it did.
Get it while you can
With Pontiac going the way of Oldsmobile, I can't imagine too many people are willing to buy one of these anymore-to which all I can say is that is just too bad and pathetic mismanagement on GM's part. This car is the best deal out there in my opinion and after 9 months and 7,000 miles I can say I really love this car. This is a roomy, fast car that can quickly and comfortably eat up hundreds of miles at a stretch. The seats are extremely comfortable and the ergonomics just fine. It's not quite a luxury sedan but it's got all the essentials done well; nothing comes close to the roominess and performance for the real-world cost of this car. Biggest glitch: came with defective rotors.
