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.

  dont buy this car!!! - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By david snepts - May 25 - 5:43 pm

  Stay away from this car! Ive had nothing but problems with it. Steering column replaced, steering shaft replaced, right control arm bushing, a link in right stabilizer, weather stripping due to wind noise, and part of the left fender had to be glued on to the car because it wasnt fit properly...all before 18000 miles. Oh, also brakes done (rotors and pads), and was told by guy at dealership I needed new tires. I dont drive hard, and I respect the vehicle. Enough said!!!

  All around good car - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By tray - March 30 - 11:53 pm

  I have had my G5 Coupe SE for two years now, and have had no problems but one small wire chaffing for my a/c. It has been an all around good car. I do wish the seats were more comfortable, on long trips especially. The trunk opening could be a bit bigger. Overall its been a good car.

  Awesome - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Kate - March 19 - 11:20 am

  When looking to get a new car I knew that I needed something that was decent in the snow, smaller in size, appealing to the eye, and better gas mileage. I chose the Pontiac G5 because it looks great and gets me to where I need to go using very little gas.

  I love my G5, but... - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Brooke - February 14 - 11:46 pm

  Dont get me wrong, I love my G5. Love the exterior looks. Black leather, heated seats (Thats what sold me.) But the windshield wipers are horrible, I can see better without turning them on. Rear spoiler blocks view, but you get used to it. I dont how anyone gets 36 mpg with it. I get 21 in the city(moderate traffic) and the best i have ever gotten is 26 on hwy. (Im delicate with my car). And biggest concern, only after 30k mi. Both of my front tires blew out, on the same day. It was like something cut them in a perfect circle on the inside of the tire. I was stuck in BFE Arkansas at a gas station. Dangerous! also having problems with my remote keyless entry

  If you drive it too much, it gets less fun - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Rhonda - January 20 - 2:00 pm

  I loved this car at first. I still love the way it looks. However, I spilled fruit juice in the car and the gear shifter had TO BE REPLACED. The front of the car rattles. My steering shaft went out. My rotors are cheap and will soon need to replace them with made in the USA steel Ive been told by guys at work because they are constantly wearing down even though I dont drive it irresponsibly. I drive 120 miles a day, and I wish I bought a foreign made car, because the rattling in the front of the car is really starting to scare me. This car will be worthless when I finally pay it off. It looks great, buy maybe good looks arent everything. The feel of the drive really deteriorated.

  By Landen G - January 15 - 6:31 am

  I got my 2007 g5 gt with 162,000 miles on it and i love it!!! The only problem i had was with the sunroof drains being clogged but that was it. Love the Pioneer Audio, sunroof, styling, wheels and comfort. Only thing i dont like is the rear visibility but thats it!! GREAT CAR!!!

  Great Car! - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Nik - December 24 - 10:56 pm

  I traded in a 1995 Pontiac Grand Am for this car. What a deal! The car rides great and met my expectations. I read previous reviews of this car and agree with what people said, good and bad.

  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.

  Terrible Pontiac experience - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Bad Experience - October 6 - 10:13 pm

  The Pontiac G5 coupe that I purchased and drove for two weeks has problems. The wind noise in the car is terrible. You can hear the wind noise above the radio when driving at speeds above 50 mph. I had warped rotors on the car that cause the steering wheel to shake upon braking. The trunk opening space is very small and makes things difficult to put in.

  Simply Amazing - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By computernut21 - September 15 - 11:20 am

  I couldnt have been more pleased with this car. For the price you simply cant do any better. The G5 has great power, awesome features and looks very sporty. I would recommend this car to anyone I know.
