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.

  Mine is actually a Manual - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Clay Garland - September 1 - 9:23 pm

  Stunning car. I was in the market for a new car, and I was shopping at the Nissan dealership because I loved my G35. Next door, there was a Pontiac dealership, and I remember being enamored with the the styling of the G8, but when I had first seen them they werent available in a manual which is a deal breaker. Well, the GXP was out, and it was available in a six speed, and it was incredible. I walked out of the dealership with the new car that day. It was White, and traditionally, Id never have purchased a white car, but I didnt care. This was the beauty with the beats under the bonnet.

  G8 Has It All - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By whoosierdaddy - July 21 - 12:50 am

  Have put 1000 miles on it. Car feels very solid but nimble. This is the only car I could find that has great handling plus a great ride at a low price--every other car make you pick any 2 of those. Averaging 18mpg in city/suburban driving, havent done a long highway trip yet. V8 was fun but V6 has all the power I need.

  Love my G8 GT - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By jshane111 - May 14 - 2:26 pm

  After owning foriegn for a while, I was leery about buying American again after being burnt by quality issue in the past. However, after test driving Acuras we tried the G8 GT and fell in love. The design, quality, and of course the performance are GREAT! I know I should have look for better gas milage, but when you can have this much fun, this much perfoemance, and still get 25 MPG what the heck. Its a great car at a great price, way to go GM!!!

  Yes, this was the car I expected. - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Zambini - March 19 - 1:20 am

  Exactly what I expected it to be after reading the literature and tons of reviews. It is a great ride, and very willing to perform. A few minor oddities, like the cup holder placement and lack of courtesy lights for rear passengers, but nothing that affects the overall drive-ability. It is a shame it was cut. It was destined to be a top performer in the GM line.

  A lot of car and fun for the money - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Rex - February 4 - 5:46 pm

  I had been researching my new car purchase for well over a year before I decided on the G8 GT. The overall feel of the car is great. It has plenty of power and just as important it has plenty of back seat leg room, 6+ adults are quite comfortable. Ive owned the car for 2 months now and accumulated over 3500 miles. Average mileage has been 18 mpg but I have not had much highway time yet. Taking a 1000 trip in two weeks so that will tell me what the real mileage is like.

  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 its a excellent car it keeps the heads turning all the time.

  Why must Pontiac die? - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By PeaRat450 - December 4 - 11:26 pm

  I just purchased a 2009 Pontiac G8 with the 3.6L V-6 a couple of days ago, and Im saddened that GM is killing Pontiac. This car is absolutely the best car I have ever owned. I honestly feel that this is also the closest GM has ever come to the BMW 3 series. If Pontiac has to die, then why cant Chevrolet pick up the G8 as a Chevelle or something. At the price this car is an unbeatable bargain, and if I had the money I would by another one tomorrow (a GT). The only change I would like to see is for the 300hp direct injected V-6 to be installed. Then it would be absolutely perfect.

  Awesome 4 door performance car - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Doug - November 28 - 11:23 pm

  The GT performance package provides the best of both worlds I was looking for ... a quiet and refined 26mpg freeway ride to work and 0-60 in 5.3s performance car with exceptional handling on the 19" wheel package. Corners at 30-40 are a blast, not to mention highway ramps. I love how the vehicles manual mode really lets the car perform. Its balancing is exceptional. Its ashame GM didnt come out earlier with this vehicle and even more so that it will not be rebadged over to Chevy. Having driven BMW 5 series, Ill take this car straight up. At 25K less, its not even close...

  Awesome Car - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By Teresa - November 25 - 1:13 am

  Looking at buying a BMW & saw this car (only on one commercial). Thought I would give it a look, after a test drive I was sold. It is an awesome car. Totally fun to drive. I have had many people ask "what car is that". Many heads have turned. I purchased the white G8 and had the windows tinted. I love this car even my husband wants to drive it all the time. Great car for the money, lot of room inside & in the trunk. I would recommend this car to anyone.

  Rear Wheel Drive "Dominator" - 2009 Pontiac G8
  By JPK - November 18 - 2:50 pm

  I have almost a year of experience with my 09 G8/GT. I am 63 years old and have owned many vehicles. My G8/GT has more bang for the buck than any of them. I get many positive comments on this vehicle for its looks and the way it goes down the road. Many of these comments are from people (including women) who have very little interest in cars. People ask me all the time, what is it. I have had NO problems with this vehicle. This car is quiet and smooth as a big Cadillac under normal acceleration. Get on the"Loud Pedal" and it will definitely put a smile on your face. The head and leg room (front and back seats) is very good and the seats are very comfy.
