Green Machine, not a gas guzzlin SUV - 2009 Pontiac G3
By Janko - August 14 - 12:23 amIm giving this car a 10 across the board. Im doing this with the mindset of my expectations of a compact economy car. It met my expectations 100%. Im 66" tall and cannot believe how comfortable the seats are. I love this car and its exactly as I expected. For the people who rate the performance anything less than a 10, go buy a Corvette. I had a Honda and am soooo happy I sold it to buy the G3. No complaints, very happy!!!

Cheap fun - 2009 Pontiac G3
By djehall - August 15 - 2:40 amBought this three weeks ago. I traded in a Nissan Frontier I wanted better gas mileage and no longer needed a pickup. My local Pontiac dealer had one left, with every toy I wanted (sunroof, cruise), and toys I didnt know I wanted until I had them (OnStar, XM, lumbar support). I liked the interior, especially the seats. Sad that Pontiac is going the way of the DeSoto, but decided to take up GMs offer on remaining Pontiacs. This is fun to drive, gets good gas mileage, and Im not worried about finding replacement parts, since its a rebadged Aveo. Wife likes it as well, and offered to give me her Jeep Patriot for it (I turned her down). All in all, a great and easy choice for me.

Love this car!!! - 2009 Pontiac G3
By Diana - April 1 - 11:30 pmFun car! Look forward to driving it! Roomy for a small car, comfortable, great gas mileage, & handles well. I see where someone said something about the road noise, I had an AVEO and that had a lot of road noise, the Pontiac G3 has way less road noise and a way better ride! Get the car, youll love it!

Low cost transportation - 2009 Pontiac G3
By doug casey - January 18 - 1:36 pmI bought this car with the cash for clunkers program, so the price was $7600 and my now crushed Cherokee. The only option I bought was the AC. The first tank of gas I got 32 combined MPG, mostly highway. I am a conservative driver. All I wanted was good cheap transportation, and I am VERY happy with this purchase. If you want a Cadillac, buy a Cadillac. This car rides and handle fine, good headroom, and is kind of cute. The engine RPM seems high on the highway, but it rides good and is not very noisy. If it is reliable for years, I would buy another.

have you driven a PONTIAC lately? - 2009 Pontiac G3
By Pontifan - April 17 - 3:36 pmTraded in a 95 Jeep Cherokee for this beauty! Anything better than 12mpg in town was worth it. But this car is amazing! Love the interior, only it needed a full center console for storage. Love the lumbar support. It really is FUN to drive. I look forward to going to work every morning just to get in it! I, too would like to have tinted windows. Im down south, and it makes a difference. Got it fully loaded for $10,200!! By the way, I was going to get a g5, but muuuch less head room! Thanks, Pontiac, for the great car.

Just LOOKING at it makes me smile! - 2009 Pontiac G3
By MichaelB - December 5 - 10:23 pmWhat a fun car! Even when youre not driving it you can just look at it and get a good chuckle! Surprisingly good seat comfort (thats vital to me). Great gas mileage. Performs just fine on the freeway, but theres a little road noise at freeway speeds.
