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.

Just gets better with time - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Larry - October 15 - 9:30 amAveraging about 20 mpg with mixed everyday driving.GM has provided one year of free oil changes & tire rotations for having closed the Pontiac division.Gm also offered cash incentives for Pontiac owners.I have not seen anything I would trade for. At 4k needed a wheel alignment, to correct odd tire wear.Tire wear has been very good ever since,in fact the car has been trouble free so far.Very acceptable interior room, I find the comfort level terrific, & I am very sensitive to leg room & seat comfort. Still love the performance when needed, which honestly is not very often. Just a pleasure to get in & drive,would love to be getting 30 mpg, but dont put on enough miles to economically matter.

Fun BMW killer... - 2009 Pontiac G8
By DevdogHP - August 19 - 11:00 amOn my test drive I had the pleasure of leaving both a BMW 550 and a WRX on the same stretch of I-95. Wonderful selling point...people say it is the best car for the money, I say it is the perfect car.

You best be "Holden" on for this ride - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Gary - July 25 - 5:56 pmOk, all humor aside, this is a great car. Its fast, nimble, quiet, does what it does better than anyone else, for half the price, and I cant believe how many people ask me about it. This is quite an experience, sort of like dancing with the hottest person at the dance, and knowing youre definitely being envied. Its a very great car, which goes a long way to show that GM does it right, too bad most people dont realize just how well they do it. I love this car, its easy to drive, simple in execution and delivery. What an AMAZING machine!

My G8 Toy - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Ken - June 27 - 2:06 pmPurchased this vehicle in February.I am thoroughly pleased with decision to buy it. This is the 1st Pontiac I have ever owned. Im looked at the BMW 3 series, Infinity and the Mercedes C300. The performance of this vehicle is stunning...it grips curves like like glue. The ride is even better than I expected for a sports sedan. The body style is an eye catcher and turn quite a few heads when I ride by. Thus far gas mileage is a combo of city-highway of 22 mpg Cons: would like to have had a home- link transmitter and better access to adjust the drivers seat.

Awsome ! - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Pammiesue1 - June 25 - 12:23 amI just picked up my new 09 . I love it ! Very fast, fun, and looks hot ! I had a Lexus RX 330 fot trade which I was very happy with, but this is the car . I like it better than my old Lexus IS 300 . Lots of room. Bluetooth would be the only thing I would like to have. It seems well built and sturdy . I am happy with my first American car ! 100% I would buy again

Former GTO Owner - 2009 Pontiac G8
By Rob - June 15 - 4:16 amI traded my GTO for the G8. Much smoother and quieter and feels quicker around town. No problems so far, have owned for just over 2 months. Lots of room. Stereo speakers could be of better quality and wished the interior was available in other colors besides black. Interior looks good though and seats are very comfy. Really like the car and glad I bought it. Very fun to drive. No regrets.

first 1000 miles down - 2009 Pontiac G8
By admonite - May 20 - 1:36 pmI love the car. It has excellent looks. Has the best quality feel of any car Ive owned American or Import. The power is excellent. I opted for the 6 cylinder and it is actually more powerful than I need. I took a drive this morning with 5 full grown adults in the car and it still pushes everyone back into their seats accelerating with normal driving.

Great after 7 months - 2009 Pontiac G8
By kselbig - May 7 - 4:56 pmPosted earlier, loved it then, love it now. Very disappointed that Pontiac will be going away. Buy one of these cars if a car for you is not just a means of transportation. It is a blast to drive, even in V-6 form. I got the upgraded interior and 6 disc CD player. I have received as many compliments about this car as my 2000 Corvette, maybe more.

GT Oh G8 - 2009 Pontiac G8
By GT Oh G8 - March 22 - 7:40 amLots of LOOKs for this Very Very Red GT G8. Great ride, quiet, loads of fun, quick, agile, giant back seat - leg room and then some. Wonderful gas mileage - 18 mpg plus. Nice Blaupunkt stereo SiriusXM Radio is great. I really like the OnStar for handsfree calling and directions when needed (you get to talk to a REAL person).
