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 best - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By jshaag - December 30 - 6:40 am

  I have owned 4 previous Pontiacs and this is by far the best ever. Incredible power for a "family sedan". Smooth acceleration and amazing pick up. My friend just bought a BMW a few months prior and he envies my Pontiac. Fuel economy is what you would expect with this much power.

  So much car, so few back roads - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By candaceo - December 2 - 8:43 am

  I looked at the 08s in May but so glad I waited to get a Pacific Slate 09. This car is the perfect balance between performance and price and brings back all the passion and enthusiasm for driving that the recent choices between fuel economy or expensive luxury have deprived us of. Driving is fun, fast and effortless and I honestly dont care about no nav since getting there in this car is all the fun.

  See ya! - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Nick - November 9 - 10:00 am

  My GXP is a garage queen. 3000 miles after 15 months. BUT it has been slightly modified. Kooks headers, Vararram cold intake, cat delete, SLP supercharger, engine tune and trans tune. It is simply the greatest sleeper ever. A 4 door sedan that can blow just about anything off the road! If you like 500 HP at the rear wheels, this is the way to go. Keep in mind Fly wheel HP doesnt tell the whole story! All these inflated HP numbers are at the Fly Wheel. They made me rate fuel economy. WHO CARES? At this performance level and low miles driven, it does not matter.

  Love it but lacks common features - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By costeld - October 24 - 10:22 am

  Fast, comfortable and smooth ride on poor roads. Very quite cabin. Responsive steering. Good brake performance. Very supportive seats. Distinctive styling. Solid clutch and transmission. Good consistent power. Nice exhaust note. Head turner (thats a Pontiac?).

  Perfect Performance Sedan 170,000 Miles - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By techman8 - August 26 - 11:16 pm

  Ive owned my G8 GT for 4 years now and its been everything a car guy could want, its very fast, reliable, and easy to maintain. Its Corvette derived high performance power-plant with the 6 speed transmission is a match made in heaven! 0-60 in 5.3 sec. Im more than satisfied with my 16/19 MPG average in the city and 20/24 in the highway while cruising at around 80-90 MPH it feels very stable and well planted. Its awesome around corners with its 50/50 weight distribution. The interior is quiet and comfortable but definitely sports car like. I have had no mechanical issues even though it currently marks a bit over 170k miles on the odometer. Its a shame GM discontinued this car!!!!

  Besides the Judge, Best Pontiac Ever - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Kolossus - August 1 - 6:36 am

  I bought a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT in White Hot on the 30th of December 2008. So far I have about 800 miles on the OD and the car keeps getting better. Here in the Burgh, the winter is sometimes a hindrance and yet I have had no problems with the rear wheel drive. One just needs to learn the right amount of pressure on the gas pedal and drive safe. Im still breaking her in and will write more come summer once shes got a few thousand miles.

  Incredible and now rare beauty! - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Leviathan - July 28 - 3:23 am

  Just over a week adn 200 miles on my new 2009 G8 GXP in MGM with a A6. From the great 6.2l V* to the remarkable auto 6 speed to the surpsingly good sound system, this car does not disappoint. I will be able to really enjoy the car once I get through the self control testing initial break in period. I must control my right foot!!!

  Beautiful car one concern - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Cassandra Brown - July 24 - 3:43 am

  I have had this car for a week now love it. This is my first American made car. Very fun and quick car. What attracted me to this car was it put you in the mind of a BMW and not only that its a pretty red car but the fact is it was not many on the road which could be a bad or good thing but my thought was it would a good thing because it stands out from all the other cars and it does just that. People are always take a second look and comment on how beautiful my G8 GT is.

  Ideal performance, value and fun blend. - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By SDG8GT - July 11 - 6:06 am

  My 2009 Panther Black Metallic G8 GT is my first brand new car. Picked it up with 12 miles on the odometer. It has the two-tone seats, premium, sport and sunroof. The 6.0 L V-8 makes getting freeway merging and passing effortless, even when the car is filled with passengers and cargo. My G8 GT is a head turner and driving in it, is much like driving a in a fish bowl. At 62, finding a comfortable driving position was easy. The back seat handles 3 real-sized adults easily. The trunk will swallow 2-3 golf bags no problem. On a recent road trip we got up to 22 MPG on 87 octane. A lot of that trip was surface street driving.
