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.

GREAT CAR (EVEN IN V6 FORM) - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Jerome - September 10 - 8:16 pmFor the last 6 months I would see a slate gray G8 GT parked in the same spot on my way from work everyday. Each time my head would turn 90 degrees to look at it every time I passed by it. I went to a dealer who said that they did not have anymore G8s left. I went expecting to buy a 2010 Buick LaCrosse. When I got there they had (1) G8 Sedan left displayed on the showroom in Liquid Red. My wife and I took it for a test drive and immediately fell in love with the performance & handling of this car. Ive had it for a month now and have been driving with it in sportshift mode and learning how to drive using the the Tapshift. Fun factor increases 10 fold in these modes even in V6 form.

09 G8 GT Awesome !! - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Jeff Zabo - July 29 - 1:53 pmI read all the reviews and I have to say that the G8 GT is all that I could have hoped for. Mileage is unbelievably good. Through the old miles driven divided by gallons used, my lowest tank has been 18.4 while the highest was 24.9(all highway, 70- 80mph). I look at the computers mileage, and its close, but usually higher than actual. The power is addictive. The car is quiet quiet quiet ! Fit and finish are really good, doors close with german exactness. This is a drivers car, it doesnt come with tons of gadgets that you dont need, about the only thing Ive missed is my auto dimming mirrors. The car is a hot rod in family disguise...love it...

Love these cars so much I own 2. - 2009 Pontiac G8
By jzpiano - April 15 - 9:07 amI bought my first G8 GT in April of 09 and have 23k miles on the car. I have modified it to be a track car and it has still been extremely reliable. After a few years of ownership I wanted to garage the car over the winter and knew I would miss driving it so I bought a second one that I DD everyday.

One of a kind... High performance luxury 4-door - 2009 Pontiac G8
By hotrodder2011 - April 12 - 6:13 amThe 2009 Pontiac G8 GT is a great daily driver with the added fun of American muscle & European handeling. The car is very fast, as expected with GMs legendary 6.0l V8, packing 361 hp & 385 ft lbs of torque, maited to a 6 speed automatic. The comfort inside is great. Fully adjustable heated leather seats, dual zone climate control, plenty of legroom in all 4 seats, lots and lots of buttons everywhere, how can you go wrong? With a good set of snow tires, this car has zero trouble getting through winter. You can drive this car year round with no trouble. I am very pleased with it and it puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel.

A fine GT sedan - 2009 Pontiac G8
By phantom - April 11 - 11:03 pmThi is one of the finest cars that Ive ever owned: It is fast, well styled, handles well, and is quite comfortable. It is a shame that it wil soon no longer be available, since it is one of the very best four-door sedans ever offered by GM. I also owned a 2004 Pontiac GTO, and the G8 is superior to it in every way - faster, roomier, and better looking. The rear seating area is especially well done, with comfortable seats and plenty of head and legroom. GM should not let this car get away. If you are considering the purchase of a high-performance GT, get one of these while you still can.

Why Wouldnt You - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Daniel - February 21 - 2:50 amFiance ended up pregnant and owned a 96 Chevy Pickup, so had to get something more family friendly. The second i saw this car i knew i had to have it, then saw the price and knew i could have it. Every time i drive it i hope someone will test it, suprisingly no takers after 4 months. First day i bought the car it was raining and took my neighbor for a ride, stomped on it every chance i got in sport mode and regular mode, not one slip from the tires with traction control on.

My 2009 Pontiac G8 GT - 2009 Pontiac G8
By John - February 15 - 5:20 amHave had the G8 for over 2 months and have about 4000 miles on it. The power is awesome and was great driving in the mountains of Georgia. It is a fantastic car for the cost. I would tell anyone to test drive it and I know they will love it.
