Overview & Reviews

The 2007 Pontiac G5 is a clone of the Chevy Cobalt coupe, which means that it shares just about everything with its platform mate, save the grille and its Pontiac markings.

• Respectable acceleration from either powertrain, smooth and quiet ride, good crash test scores.

• Cheap interior plastics, cramped backseat, lack of interior storage, dull handling.

  Sorry - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Tom - November 9 - 5:10 pm

  My G5 has been in the shop 6 times since i bought it in December 07 with the same problem. Radio has staic rpm fluxuates, tires blown out, gas milage droped from 35 mpg to 27 mpg the first 2 months. I will never buy another GM product. Ill stick with my good dependable FORDS. Dealer still cant fix the car. They just keep reprograming it.

  Nice car but bad gas mileage - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By BJ - November 8 - 8:43 am

  Bought this car because of the price, not a bad car but the gas mileage is horrendous GM advertises 5.2ltr per 100kms I wish, Im lucky if I get 7.4ltr per 100kms. They also state you will get 952kms per tank. I get maybe 550kms. My 3.8ltr impala is better on fuel than the g5. I will never ever buy GM again. With todays technology theres no reason why a 4 cyl engine should get less than 1000kms to a tank of gas.

  Not so happy - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Todd - January 18 - 8:03 am

  I have had this car for almost 6 months now and it has been in the shop four times. The windshield makes noise, like wind is coming in somewhere. The front end has had the bearings replaced, the struts, and the rotors have already been turned, and need to be done again. I noticed if the car sits for more than a week, the rotors are totally shot. Is this something that anyone else is having problems with? Im also not happy with the noise in the car, all the plastic is coming loose already. I actually own a Honda Civic Si, and I havent had any problems with it, as well as my Scion TC. I wish I wouldnt have bought this car, but thankfully I purchased an extended warranty!!!!

  Needs More Power - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Brian - July 2 - 9:33 pm

  I wish I didnt buy this car. The Cobalt SS is about the same price and a much better performer. The G5 is a good look decent all around car, but just dont offer the kind of performance it should at the selling price.

  Great Little Car - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By pobaldwin - January 1 - 6:35 am

  Our 2007 G5 has the 2.2l and 4 speed automatic transmission. This car has about 165,000 miles on it and is still going strong. Being that we live in Michigan the suspension takes a beating, but components dont seam to wear out any faster than they will on any other car. The engine and transmission still feel strong and neither has ever had a leak. The gas mileage is fantastic, we can get about 36.5 MPG driving with the cruise set around 70 MPH with the A/C on in the summer time.

  Dont waste your money - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By ptg - October 17 - 3:13 pm

  I bought this car with high hopes getting out of a high price for repair VW. Well good thing this car came with a great warranty because I used it 4 times already. My clutch had a manufacturing defect which made it pop off the plate twice leaving me stranded. So they put in a new clutch plate. Then my rotors went at 9000 miles and had to be resurfaced, which they called normal. Ive had cars go 30k and not need that. This car just feels poorly made overall. Its peppy for a 4 banger but the handling is too loose and the transmission shifts awkwardly rough compared to my old cars. I really wouldnt waste your money. Ill definitely never buy another Pontiac again.

  What a lemon! - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Miss Unhappy! - July 12 - 9:13 pm

  What a disappointment this car has been! We purchased this G5, hoping that it would be similar in quality as the Pontiac Sunfire that we had previously driven. Not even close! We have always had a problems with the keys, to the point we cant even open our doors or trunk, and now the key wont even start the car! Its still under warranty but yet the dealership has chosen to spray my ignition with rustcheck instead of addressing the real problem, the keys! From months of juggling both of our keys to either get the doors opened and now to start the car, I guess the problems start now! Both keys are so worn out just from one year of driving. I also cant stand the noise whilst driving!
