  Go Buy a G8 NOW - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Greg T - June 17 - 7:23 pm

  This car handles and rides incredibly. I love everything about it except the following: tilt wheel has a lever which means to move the wheel out of your way, you must move the lever and then relock every time; FM reception is fair; gas filler door is a push from the outside design. It should be a inside release or have a finger opening. The interior materials are way softer than my buddys 530i; his door handles dig into your knees and hurt. Trunk and seats are huge. Great effort, great car. Buy one now!

  By parsalinjr1 - June 9 - 7:00 pm

  I purchased my G8 GT in April and I have to say it was the best purchases I have ever made. This car is fun, and good looking. I have the black with the red on black interior. The performance is top notch!! Who needs a bmw?

  I love my G8, but hate Blaupunkt - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By L Wheeler - January 16 - 4:43 am

  For the money, my G8 smokes everything else in its class. It puts a smile on my face every time I put my foot in it. I test drove the Cadillac CTS, and really wanted to buy it, but couldnt justify the extra $10K.

  7000 mile and still loving it - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Rod - January 4 - 11:30 am

  It has been about 7 months and 7000 miles since I got my G8 GT. I learned one thing this weekend, the G8 is not all about going fast. Going home from work yesterday on freeway was doing 50 came around a blind corner and traffic was stopped. With the braking performance of my 96 Monte Carlo (I traded in on the G8) in my mind I was hoping that would be just a light crash. Three things happened. I hit the brakes, I saw someting fly on the pasengers side and I was stopped 5 car lengths behind the car ahead of me. The flying things were cargo straps that were on the floor in the back seat area. They bounced off front and ended up in middle of front passenger floor

  Buy This Car Now!!!! - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By John Bruning - December 21 - 10:06 am

  Just purchased a G8 GT, liquid red. This is a big car with the handling of a tiny European sports car. Turn radius is amazingly tight. Power is incredible-almost as good as my 400 HP GTO. The On-Star system is a tremendous value, as is the hands free phone. Interior is spacious and comfy. This is a car to take on a back road in the hills. It loves curves and turns. It is a joy to drive. Pontiac & Holden have hit a home run with this beast. Im sold on Pontiac, and GM will have my business for years to come.

  very happy man! - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By very happy man! - November 20 - 3:00 pm

  I bought this car in Philly and i live 2.5 hrs north of that. It is AWESOME, mine is liquid red with black and red leather interior. I actually stayed overnight at a hotel in Philly and waited for this one to come in with every feature you could get. It drives like is has a grip to the road like no other, I test drove a BMW 3 and 5 series, a CTS and a LEXUS and this ONE came out on TOP! I lOVE THE HORSEPOWER!

  Sweet Car - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Patrick - November 16 - 12:10 pm

  An amazing car for the price. I ended up paying 20600 after taxes, and got a big, beautiful, 256 horsepower 4 door. The only things I dislike is that the remote start does not turn on the heater, so you have to deal with the frost if you have it. Also, I had to get a repair (snowy roads- my own fault) and I had to import a part from Australia.

  The G8 is a 4 door GTO - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Mo - October 15 - 11:36 pm

  I previously had a 2006 GTO and despite all the press, I really like the car. It was fast, reliable, and turned heads with the rumble of its exhaust. My children are getting a little older and the back seats of the GTO a touch small. I read up on the G8 and found it to be a 4 door version of the GTO with all the muscle, performance, and fun I want. Yesterday, I test drove on of the First 888, number 511 and drive home in it. It lives up to the reviews and is as fast and wild as any sedan... way better than the CTS. If you looking for a toy, carry the family, and bring the lawn mower to the shop, this ride is perfect.

  Cool Car - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Jim in MS - September 27 - 9:50 pm

  The car is very fast (6.0 is great), handles great, and is very hard to find. Dealer looked for weeks before we found a GT that would do. It still was not the color we wanted (we got red wanted gray, but car does turn heads) nor did it have the performance package, but it does have the sunroof and leather. Great seats, great steering, really really fast. Dealer only discounted $500 off the sticker, but still good value for so much car.

  The G8 GT has a flaw - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Rod - September 17 - 11:50 am

  I still love my G8 GT but I did find a flaw. Minor $62 flaw. I am a auto mechanic and do things like my own oil change. When it comes to the G8 that oil change consist of 9 quarts of Mobil 1, and a AC Delco oil filter. Thank God for Costco who has the best price on Mobil 1, and Auto Zone for their price on Oil and filter. I have figured that $62 every 5K is very acceptable for what this super sedan gives back in return in performance and just fun to drive. Now that gas is below $3 a gallon it is even better cause can afford the premium stuff and you can feel the difference in performance of the 6.0.
