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 GM car ever - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Bryan - August 21 - 8:40 amive owned a lot of cars from GM, this has to be the best one yet, i owned a 05 pontiac bonneville GXP that was alright, at best, this cars handleing is great, the steering is perfect, suspension is perfect in cornering and just relaxing on the highway, brakes are great, great design inside and out, feels well built, the power from the V8 is endless, would like a little more of a louder exhaust note, and the window switches should be on the doors, but those small things dont really wreck a absolutly great car

LOVE IT! - 2009 Pontiac G8
By whitehotter09 - August 5 - 11:21 amLove everything but the RED dash lights, if the color was selectable Id buy a spare G8 GT. I debadged mine & have A GTO license plate. LOVE IT! Glad I was able to purchase NEW at the end of the model run........ I worked at Pontiac in the 60s but never owned one, now I own the best they never made because its really a HOLDEN with a Corvette\Chevy engine.

Great Graduation Present - 2009 Pontiac G8
By babygirl - June 26 - 8:23 pmMy parents got this car for me as a graduation present and Im loving it. I went to the dealership to test drive the G6 when the G8 caught my eye. I walked right passed the G6 and asked for the keys to the G8. By the look of the car I knew I wanted it. My parents were sold on the fact that it had Onstar. Great car for anyone who likes to go fast. Before I never liked to drive places, now I volunteer to go anywhere. Great kick and speed for a 6cyl.

Buy one if you can - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Family Man - May 22 - 9:13 pmHave had for a few months and love the car. Fun to drive. Picked up one with 11,000 for 22K. Better value than overpriced European imports. Solid, handles well, and very good acceleration. Gas mileage not great, but gets about 2 mpg less than a high output V6. I was hoping GM would bring this body style back with the V6 / V8 Camaro engine. They would sell a ton of these.

THE GR8 WHITE HOT - 2009 Pontiac G8
By GR8WHITEHOT - April 23 - 6:10 pmThe Pontiac G8 GT is a phenomenal creation of performance, value, and yes a family sedan. My wife and I traded our 2008 Lexus IS 250 for this modern day muscle car. She rides quiet and smooth until provoked by your right foot, then shell growl at you. A Corvette with 4 doors for well under 30k unheard of, until now.

Great Car - 2009 Pontiac G8
By RonNV - April 22 - 2:10 pmI have driver this car for about seven months. Some computer chip issues which were resolved by the dealer. I got big 19 inch snow tires for this baby since it is not really driveable in snowy weather. That reduced the mileage factor slightly. I used to have a problem accessing the highway ramp in my old Buick Park Avenues. With this car you have zero problem..regular or snow tires the cars acceleration is nothing less than fantastic. It is hard to explain but there is a confidence factor that you have with this car. You know that you can pass virtually any car out there. The brakes are excellent and versatility in emergency situations is really good.

Great First Impression - 2009 Pontiac G8
By StevenE - March 24 - 1:33 amI was lucky enough to pick up a brand new (45 miles) red G8 in Minneapolis for a week long drive around No. MN, WI and MI Upper Peninsula. I put 1100 miles on the odometer and developed a great first impression of this car. It is tight, corners superbly, handles great and drives like a car much smaller than its size. GM really got this one right! Acceleration wasnt outstanding with the V6, but balanced against gas mileage, it offered plenty for everyday, long term driving. I averaged almost 24 mpg for the 1100 miles in combination of driving including pushing it pretty hard on some back roads and freeways. Nice car...Ill have this one on my shopping list.

Fun to Drive - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Tyson - February 10 - 5:00 pmThis car is fun to drive, handles well, and gets relatively good gas mileage. So far I have about 1600 miles on it. I wish it is not being discontinued with Pontiac. I wouldnt mind replacing my Grand Prix with another G8.
