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.

  Bumblebee w/4 cyl sounds like V6! - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Turbo Durby - October 2 - 5:10 pm

  This is my 4th Pontiac purchase and the smallest one yet - but not the slowest! The GT trim definitely outguns and is better handling than my 01 Grand Am SE, which was a 4-cyl. as well. Though the Monsoon system is a little complicated to work at 1st, the steering controls make it much simpler! And the acceleration in such a slight car is awesome!

  noises inside - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By lco - August 23 - 9:50 pm

  I love my car, but not long after buying it things started rattling inside. My husbands Pontiac does that, too. Does anyone else think the interior of Pontiacs just doesnt hold together very tightly?

  Great car but... - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Grotonems5 - July 3 - 10:53 am

  Great overall car, I dont like cars but this is a nice mid-priced car, sporty, handles nice, but I have had MAJOR problems every time I take it to the shop and have anything to do with the brakes or hubs. New front rotors at 15000 miles, the g5 rotors didnt fit.. had to get g6 rotors, then a wheel bearing went in the back, have to get a whole new hub assembly, again g5 part didnt fit, had to get g6 part and now my abs and traction control dont work... also had to have some bushings in the front replaced 3 times!!! and my rear defroster never works. and they fixed it twice.

  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.

  Pontiac G5 - Not bad for GM - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Roger Fitch - December 25 - 10:06 pm

  Car has enough pep. Interior is simple and clear to understand. Exterior is cool. I have only driven 250 miles. So cant talk about reliablity etc.

  Crash Input - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Tony Milo - October 20 - 3:50 pm

  I owned my G5 for a little over a year, no problems & is used for a commuter back & forth to work. The best mileage I got was a little over 32 with the automatic. The second week of Dec/08 I was driven to work when a 05/G6 made a left hand turn in front of me. I was doing about 40mph & never had the chance to hit the brakes. I was wearing my seat belt & the air bag deployed, I was knocked out, fortunately when I came to I was basically OK. I did sustain some injuries,but nothing major! The G5 did sustain almost $6k in left front damage tho. So I was a crash test dummy & lived to write about it! My G5 should be repaied the second week of Jan/09. Thanks GM for a safe car!

  My new G5 - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Karen P. - September 11 - 2:10 pm

  I have had my G5 for two weeks now and this is an excellent vehicle in so many ways! I had the Vibe before this and the G5 has a lot of zip and is GREAT on gas! The black interior is very sharp and the bright yellow paint provokes all kinds of comments from people when I drive around. I have the 1st one sold in my small city and I couldnt be more pleased!! I choose to buy American made vehicles, have driven in similar sized imports that belong to friends and this GM car is FAR superior!! The 12 months of XM, music downloads and cool interior accents are just an awesome bonus!!

  Amazing! - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Kyle D Kelly - July 9 - 12:56 am

  I purchased this car because it was the right price. I bought it stock, empty, and it came with cruise and all power and everything. I love the car it handles real well. The rims are great stock, not cheap. I drove a Miata and miss the convertible but I am getting an installed moonroof. It is a great car to drive and I can fill up for $35 and get 300 miles. It is a looker and I love attention. If you dont like attention, dont get yellow. I test drove many, and the stick GT is the way to go, great buy.
