Overview & Reviews

The 2009 Pontiac G8 receives standard XM Satellite Radio across the board, and the high-performance G8 GXP makes its debut, featuring a detuned version of the Corvette's V8 along with a sportier suspension and an optional manual transmission. Also, the dorky Atari-style oil/battery gauges atop the center stack have been removed.

• Sharp handling, firm but compliant ride, muscle-car power with either V8, spacious rear seat, sets a new Pontiac standard for interior design and quality.

  Best of the Last - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Sport Red - May 28 - 12:10 pm

  GM has "mothballed" the Pontiac brand indefinitely, but too soon! The Pontiac G8 is the best car GM has produced in my lifetime, thats nearly 60 years, and from the looks of the near future offerings, it will be my whole lifetime! This car has great performance, outstanding styling, excellent build quality, and for a high HP V8, very acceptable fuel mileage. If you want one of your own, you best hurray! Even thou Pontiac will be around until the end of 10, the G8s will be gone long before that!

  Vacation Time - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Jean Baptiste - May 6 - 7:43 am

  I love my G8 GT for a lot of reasons. All have been stated many times over in other reviews. However, I have a special reason to like this car. In past years when my wife and I loaded up previously owned cars with maybe 500 lbs of tools and luggage for a few months at our vacation house, I had to shim the rear springs to help keep similar (and safe) driving dynamics. In my G8 GT this past fall, the heavy load had little or no impact on my mormal driving experience. I credit this to the great suspension of this car.

  Own it - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Ward - May 4 - 9:30 pm

  I bought this vehicle the end of July 08. Always thought I wanted a Charger. After test driving both I found I prefer the G8. It has more power than Ill ever need and very comfortable seating. My teens vibrate the whole car with their music, but otherwise the sound system in great. And I found it affordable.

  Ginger - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By amgendude - April 25 - 5:26 am

  Bought the car for $26K right after Xmas when GM was giving $6500 rebate and took advantage of dads discount. Car is an incredible value. Defy anyone to find comparable value. Total shame that Pontiac is gone. Now own two discontinued cars (2002 S2000). Not enamored by the interior, radio has some odd controls, no power seat back adjustment or garage door controls either. Minor complaints. Car accelerates great but agree that the tranny could be smoother. Driving on the turnpike, its not surprising to look down to see Im going 90 and not realizing it. Love the styling and love the attention it gets since you hardly see this car in south Florida. A real gem. Would buy again in a minute.

  Not Perfect but Fun - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By mike - February 5 - 5:03 am

  Fun car for relatively cheap money. about $28K for a $35k sticker car. Looks sporty yet classy. If you dont like compliments or random questions from strangers at gas stations about the car, dont buy one! To the person who complained about the OVERSPEED "ding ding" at 70mph, take 30 seconds to look in your owners manual and another 15 seconds to shut it off. Its not hard! I hated the "ding" just from the ride home from the dealership and shut off the overspeed when I got home. Winter tire and wheel package are a MUST if youre in the snowbelt. Drove the summer tires in a small storm while waiting for mail order snowtires. Yikes! All in all, quality is not BMW grade but the performance is.

  Great & Fast - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Curtis - January 22 - 8:43 am

  I bought mine used with 2750 miles on it from a Pontiac dealer. It was traded in on a new Z-28. Is in perfect shape. It is Black Metallic and has custom chrome wheels that sets it off. Best fuel mpg is 27 and has averaged 24-26 running at 72 mph on average.

  4 Door Muscle Car. - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Car Guy - January 21 - 9:53 pm

  I have the car 2 weeks and have around 900miles on it. I have always been a car guy and have owned many cars including 5 series BMW, E series Mercedes & an Audi Cabriolet for comparison purposes. This car is unbelievable; in terms of pure off the line speed, it blows the doors off anything I have owned(including a 69 firebird with a 400 engine). Handling compares adequately to my BMW and Audi, a lot better then the Benz. The nice thing about this car is there arent many out there so it is definitely unique, a head turner. The interior is plain but usable, the controls are adequate. In terms of styling, the car has great lines. I am 6ft and there is plenty of leg room front & back, big trunk

  Red lights slow us down - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Michael - January 18 - 5:00 pm

  I bought a Black 09 Pontiac G8 GT and could not be happier. I have been to the gas station a couple times and people come right up to me asking me all about the car. I too love when stopping at red lights and having the car rattle slightly from the V8 anxiously waiting to go. I smile every time I go on a drive and glad this was the first new car I have purchased.

  BMW 4 Less! - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Carqwik - December 25 - 4:36 pm

  The car Pontiac should have always had! Its a true American (despite Oz origins) sport sedan that can run with most of the imports costing up to twice as much. Yea, its not a lux mobile, but the V8 power, the acceleration, the handling (surprise - it has excellent road manners), and the perfect size makes it an excellent value!

  I love this car!!! - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Cameron - November 26 - 9:26 pm

  The title says it all. This car is awesome! I get compliments on it all the time, and Ive had it less than a month. Coming from a Nissan Maxima, I considered purchasing the Infiniti G35 as well as the BMW 3 series as well, and neither comes close in terms of bang for buck. What took you so long, Pontiac???
