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.

  Great Car - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By DC - September 7 - 4:40 am

  I just purchased my 2006 Pontiac Pursuit G5 (we had it in Canada before the U.S), and I absolutely love it. The 2.2 litre mated to the 4 speed automatic is just great. It shifts smoothly, and has plenty of power to spare. The interior quality is superior to any prior gm products, and the silver-colored accents on the dash board give the interior an upscale feel. Furthermore the stock radio/CD player is very good (considering the price of the car). In addition to that, the trunk is of a decent size, although the opening is a bit narrow. As far as road handling capabilities, the G5 soaks up any frost heaves and cracks in the road, transfering very little noise into the car.

  Super car for the money! - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By kyyankee7 - June 24 - 5:16 am

  Ive had this car for about a week, so long term details obviously arent here. But Ive absolutely loved it. I had already bought a G6 earlier this year and was looking to get another, but the style and color I wanted was sold just before I got to the dealer. Looking around the lot I saw the G5, a 5 speed, very basic model. I hadnt driven a stick in years, but I found it immediately easy and fun to drive. The bottom line is this: needing 2 cars to replace aged ones, we were able to get a G5 and G6 for about the price of a Hummers front end suspension! Cant recommend them too much.

  Brand new car troubles. - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Kristin - May 2 - 2:33 pm

  Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love my 2007 Pontiac G5. But now it is starting to have problems already and it hasnt even been five months since I bought it brand new off the lot. Im not sure if it is just my car experiencing these problems or if there are others, but there are not any recalls about leaks. Two months after I bought the car, the front windshield leaks. We just recently had a big rainstorm, I go look in my trunk and there is a good 3 inches of standing water in my trunk surrounding my battery. Other than these problems, which shouldnt be happening, this car is a great choice for my first car. Nice and smooth riding.

  Good car with minor problems - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Peter Harris - December 5 - 7:38 am

  The front wheel bearings went just two years after buying the car. There was a minor electrical problem with the radiator fan. And, just recently, after ten years, the three major electrical components failed: battery, alternator, and starter. Peter Harris

  Vehicle runs nice and some, takes bumps in the road just fine. Takes turns really well and have not had a problem yet. Front seats have plenty of room for people with long legs

  Pontiac Hits A Home-Run! - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Krista - April 20 - 4:20 am

  I have owned my G5 for almost 2 years now. I absolutely love this vehicle. The handling is great. Purchased $15k, the car feels like a luxury car. The seats are comfortable, and gas mileage is great! I average 25/city and at at 75mph I get 36/37 mpg freeway! The car quickly becomes like an extension of yourself on the road.

  Best Sub compact ever - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By KMMACK - February 2 - 8:03 pm

  The car handles great, even at high speeds its a smooth ride. I can pull a u-turn just about anywhere and park in the smallest places. When I baby it I can get over 35 mpg and so far I havent dropped below 32. When its cold out I can hear a rattle coming from the front passenger side, I dont know what it is but it hasnt been a problem. My car suprises everyone with its speed. Its no race car, but for its class its impressive. I can easily turn em over in second gear with 3 passengers.
