    This car is a GTO/Olds 442 throw back. Great acceleration, exceptional handling. Good fuel economy. I get approx 25 mpg. Practical family car.

  • Great looking and fast American car - 2008 Pontiac G8

    Picked up the G8 this week... The best looking sports sedan Ive seen in awhile. The body design alone will make the Euro lovers rethink things. The V8 packs some serious punch. I thought the interior would be chintzy, but its not bad. Great leather seats and the leather steering wheel is nice. The dash could be better... but compared to past GM cars its a big step up and not that far behind euro competition. This car is one helluva value and turns heads everywhere I go.

    Have had car two weeks not really tested it yet. This is good, my wife likes car not sure she gets my desire for a V8. No complaints, however I cant find 11 speakers I can only find 9. Some problem huh. lol. I drive about 35,000 miles a year so I will know soon.

  • Why - 2008 Pontiac G8
    By -

    I dont know why I bought this car. The V6 was plenty good. Tested the Charger, Mustang V6 & GT, Accord, Civic, Sonata and been in many others during my search over the last year. The BMW sure is nice but I think my friend will be disappointed when he sees the G8 GT for half the price. If you keep under 65 you get remarkable 25-27 MPG. It eats gas just idling. 15 is no problem in the city. First impressions: besides the tough look and motor is the front interior,and excellent seats. Warmers work great and no need for extra lumbar support. Handles good and is very fast. Reminds me of the Catalina I had with the special 400 plus motor that was ordered from the factory.

    I recently bought my G8GT with sunroof, sports and comfort package for my wife as we our first child neccessitated 4 doors. My wife LOVES this car as do I. The power this thing has is incredibly smooth and I regularly find myself going faster than I should. The only weak areas of this car are the brakes, lack of navigation, no memory for the driver (my 98 vette has it, why cant a 09?), the manual knob for the seat back, and the lack of bluetooth in lieu of Onstar (boo). Other than those little things, which are forgotten once I put the gas pedal to the floor, this car is a rockstar. In fact, I will be looking for a nice used GXP once I pay this GT off.
