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 but... - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By PM - December 30 - 4:53 am

  I love it - bought it brand new in 07, but its only 2 yrs old with 23K miles & already running like my old 10 yr Chevy Cavalier! So I took it back to dealer for service; whoa, it needed 2 arm controls, a stabilizer and 3 wheel bearing - all still under warranty thank God! I asked them how much life expectancy for this vehicle, and he said that they do keep certain parts in stock for this model. I am very concerned and already considering trading it in.

  By Jen - October 28 - 11:50 pm

  Got the sport edtion 10/07. Before the end of the year had door panel fixed (it was cracked) door handle inside was peeling, button on shifter knob and on shifter shaft both peeled,very slow acceleration,blower motor had to be fixed,speaker doesnt work in drivers door anymore,leak stain on my head liner by windshield, had to fix lower control arm bushings (after only a year), rims started peeling, center caps fell out, i am the only one ever in my car and the passenger door is cracked now, love the spoiler since i drive on the highway a lot ( it blocks the bright headlights from shining in my face)paid $18,000 and now only worth $5,000 and it is in great shape besides miles on it.

  Finally a good deal - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By StalePhish - October 4 - 10:53 pm

  After countless used cars, I finally decided to get a new car, and what a fabulous decision I made to buy a brand new Pontiac G5. Keeping price in mind, I went with the base model, which still has great performance and equally impressive looks. My personal record average was 38.7 MPG in medium/light traffic on the interstate for an hour. Unlike most other cars I have driven, the headrests are actually effective and the seats are amazingly comfortable. For being over 6 feet tall, I have more than enough leg room and my head doesnt ever bump the ceiling. The interior controls are clustered intuitively and to my taste.

  Excellent - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By megang - August 5 - 5:46 am

  I wanted a vehicle that would be reliable as well as stylish. When I started the buying process I didnt know exactly what I wanted. I knew however that i wanted something sporty that got as much flatter from other people as it did gas mileage. I got that and more. Its so comfortable it makes your driving experience wonderful.

  Excellent Car and Built in the USA, A+++ - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By JIm - August 4 - 3:36 pm

  I had the car for almost a year now, no problems and love it. The car rides and handles great, even at high speeds its a smooth ride. The turning radius is excellent, I can pull a u-turn just about anywhere and park in the smallest places. (I tried the Chevy Cobolt GT and it does not do this and they are suppose to be the same?) Great MPG 36 mpg, with automatic. Very Quite inside, not air noises, road noise. Great dash, XM radio, mp3 connection. Nice styling, inside and out. Beat all the imports. We have the base module with the confort package, and sport package that may be the difference between ours and other ratings. Great looking 18 in mag wheels, controls on the leather wraped wheel

  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!

  By Sloley - January 29 - 11:36 pm

  I have had this car for almost a week and I really enjoy driving it. Its really great on gas. I still have not been to the gas station since I bought the car. I commute from Maryland to DC everyday, so far with 4 trips Im just below half tank.

  Wanna Race? - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By D - Nasty - January 29 - 9:26 pm

  Ive had my G5 for about 8 months now and I really like it. The power is there when you want it, and when you need it. Its real fun to take a sharp turn with, or fit in tight squeezes while switching lanes. The gas is very good, especially when going highway. I drive it every single day and every time I fill up my gas tank someone always comments on how nice my car is. White G5 GT with Custom 18" Black Racing Rims, with 40 meat kumho tires and 20% window tint all the way around.
