Awesome looking BMW 7 series clone
After tiring of driving my wife's CR-V to work, I needed something a little more sportier when the weather didn't cooperate with my motorcycling. We needed four doors and we didn't want to break the bank. I stumbled upon this Pontiac, and what luck! The only con I see to this G8 is the cup holders in the front. They sit too far back. There are no cup holders in rear of the cabin which is inconvenient. And a lack of a navigation system is disappointing. However, that all melts away when you smash down the accelerator. All in all, I'm very pleased with our purchase and hope that we spent $25K on a great product.

2009 Pontiac G8
Love my G8 when I first saw one I was like I have to get that car it looked good, I did just that own mine for 4years now. Did have problems when I first got where the engine kept coming on it was do to the gas cap it had to be replace which it was happening to a lot of the G8s. The other thing I have had problems with is the sit on the driver side the shift had come a loose had to have it fix 3 times in 4 years, other than that it's a excellent car it keeps the heads turning all the time.
Known Engine Problems
I bought this car new, and was not told of the potential problem with the engine. Before I get into the engine problems, the V6 gets terrible gas mileage for the horse power. Most 4 cylinder cars are faster than the V6 and the most you'll get is 24 mpg highway. After 28000 miles the check engine light comes on, I take it to the dealer and it sits in maintenance for a week because of camshaft problems. I did research and found that the problem is well known. Needless to say I traded it in. For a Optima Turbo that gets 274 HP and 34 MPG highway.
Thinking about buying G8
I'm looking at a 09 G8 V-6 it has 77000 miles on it and in great condition but it does have a salvage title on it. It don't bother me that it salvage is $8500 still a good buy on this car it drives and handles great. I got to act quickly on this before it's gone need some good input thanks.
