  9500 miles and getting better - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Rod - April 3 - 3:30 am

  I have had my GT for 9 months and it is getting better. Fuel mileage is up, it gets within 2 mpg of the 96 Monte Carlo LS I traded in, and the GT has 200hp more. If I keep my foot out of it average 17 mpg in town. The problem is keeping my foot out of the throttle. When you step down on it it is exhilarating.

  Rental car like - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Lloyd Carder - March 25 - 3:26 am

  We purchased the G8 and was excited the the rear wheel drive would give the ride and feel of a classic American car. Instead the car rides like a go Kart is jumpy off the line and has a gas pedal like a tractor. The speedometer and Tach are covered by you hands at 10 and 2 leaving the digital speedometer to be stared at before you can focus to see what the faint red number says. The shifter slips into Neutral if you rest your hand on the shifter. The rear view mirror requires you to flip a lever, not a problem but the mirror has so many buttons for OnStar and other gadgets that you are always hitting them. We are selling the car after only 250 miles at a 6K loss to just get rid of it.

  Car is Back for Pontiac - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By brian - January 31 - 11:16 pm

  This is the best Pontiac car ever. I think it blows away the gto by comparison and has a huge trunk and back seat. Head room is miles long and for a 63" 240 pound guy i am sooo comfortable while driving i strongly recommend.

  1 Year and still love it - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Rod - January 22 - 10:36 am

  I have had my G8 GT, it will be 1 year on the May 23rd. The mileage has gone from 15 to 18 mpg in daily commute and and I do not spare the horses. I am just glad that with Pontiac going away I am luck enough to have the last and probably the most awesome car Pontiac ever built. I have heard rumors that GM may bring a Police version of the G8 to the US as a Chevy. The Holden Commador is the #1 police car in Australia.

  Amazing! Simply amazing! - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Jason DeSmit - November 28 - 3:56 am

  I finally decided to trade in my 2002 Grand Prix GTP for the new G8 GT (one of the first 888) and Im anything but disappointed! I cant truly express in words as to how much fun this car is to drive! I fall in love with it every time that I get inside! Whenever Im not driving it, all that I want to do is drive somewhere...anywhere! Road trip anyone?

  Great Performance Buy - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Buckeye 350 - November 15 - 9:23 am

  I replaced my 2005 Grand Prix GXP with the G8 GT. Much better room inside, performance and even gas mileage. The G8 is an incredible buy. All I would change is 1) add XM radio option 2) get rid of the Atari instrumentation in the center of the dash and replace with the Grand Prix driver info center and 3) get rid of the annoying passenger seat belt warn lights on the rear view mirror. Otherwise, great performance, great seats, great rear legroom, great trunk and mighty fine looking overall. Nice work Pontiac!

  Two weeks later - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Rod - October 15 - 8:23 am

  It has been two weeks since I wrote my first review on the G8 GT. The fuel mileage has gone up 2 mpg from tank one to tank 3. This car gets more comments about how great it looks and impresses more people than the first car I had that was super impressive, and that was a 1970 Hemi Cuda. It is also as much fun to drive as the Cuda, and handles way better. In one review someone commented about no release for the gas filler door. The gas door lock is part of the door lock system. If the doors are locked the gas door is locked. I like that dont have to pull a lever, just make sure the doors are unlocked, and who locks their doors when they are at the gas pump. you know you are being robbed.

  377 of 888 - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Key Stone Cop - October 6 - 9:26 pm

  I have owned many cars including three BMWs and this car is more comfortable and drives as well or better than the 525 BMW.

  Like Two Bats Out of Hell! - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Richie - July 21 - 12:46 am

  I have followed this car since I heard about it being available in the US. Overall this car is the best bang for your buck if you want a sport sedan. I looked at a few imports and some other domestics but the G8 won hands down dollar wise. The engine is excellent. I live in NYC and the gas mileage is low in the city (10-12 mpg) and when the highways are packed I see the same results. But when the highways are clear I see 20+mpg easy. For daily driving the suspension is fine, seats are comfy, exhaust is quiet but open up the engine and it sounds sweet. I had this car for about 2 months and I still smile when I turn her on.
