My Congratulations to Pontiac - 2008 Pontiac G8
By T. Giles - February 4 - 12:40 pmAll i have to say is congratulations Pontiac for creating the car I have dreamed of. I upgraded from a 2004 Grand Prix, a car that i have thoroughly enjoyed for all of the 104000 miles i put on it and i was completely blown away. The G8 GT is in my opinion one of the best sport sedans ever produced. It is gorgeous inside and out. It doesnt have all that goofy euro sport sedan styling, just big fenders and a beefy body. 100% American muscle. I would recommend this car to anyone! Pay the extra for the V8 its worth it.

#41 of 888 - 2008 Pontiac G8
By twort - January 25 - 1:26 pmI have had my g8 for a week now. I like it a lot. I am averaging 16 mpg but is all city driving. I have put 200 miles on it with out a problem. Car is much more comfortable then my camaro z28 and feels quicker too but have not given it a work out yet. Have to wait till I get some more miles. The one thing I wish it had is displaying a the title of a song when listening to the radio. My wifes 03 Grand am does this and it is a nice feature. I cant tell when the active fuel management kicks in. It would be nice to have some kind of indication on the dash if you are in 4 or 8 mode. Handling is great with little body roll in sharp corners and tons of room. This is a great value car

New G8GT - 2008 Pontiac G8
By suprfan - January 24 - 7:56 amThe hype is not hype at all. This car finally brings Pontiac into the next millennium. The car is truly a performer that is an everyday driver even with kids. A+

Awesome - 2008 Pontiac G8
By hjames - October 8 - 11:23 amI have number 663 and just picked it up on Monday. The car is one of a kind it reminds me a little of my e30 m3. Very redefined in every letter, and speaks to the driver during acceleration. This car will make a statement and Im glad I have one. I can drive my g8 with the likes of BMW and Lexus. I can also run the boys on the weekend if I like. The answer for any mid life crisis.

I love my "Yak" - 2008 Pontiac G8
By W3ldon - September 30 - 6:43 pmOK. I just got my black on black G8 two weeks ago and I am crazy about it. I took my wife to the Westin in it and the valet was like "Hey, man, what is this?" I was like, "this is the car that better stay parked tonight." He loved it. Everywhere I go, I get stares. Their eyes are saying, "Wow!" and then they see a Pontiac badge and they fall over. "Thats a Pontiac?" Yep, a Pontiac. I cant get mad at em. Thats the exact thing I said just two weeks before I saw one on the road and bought one. This car is amazing. It good on gas for a V8, It is very quick and Im going to have to get some tires in about 6 mos because, damn

The lemon - 2008 Pontiac G8
By g6- 2 door coupe - August 23 - 10:00 amThe car had been in the shop several time handles poorly in the snow. Tires are very expensive to replace. The brake light was on when driving - did not know it until a state trooper followed me. I would say that 36,000 miles was the life before every thing began to break down and then lets not mention the warranty was up after that and obama motors did not have a stimulus for the replacing the warranty of the car, how about that for a change!

Thanks LOADED for $30K - V8 sedan :o) - 2008 Pontiac G8
By RisorBob - August 4 - 4:23 amI previously owned a 2005 CTS-V and traded on a G8 GT after test driving it four three hours... Thanks to my dealer for that. The car is underpowered compared and doesnt brake as well as the caddy. However the fit and finish are great, the auto with tiptronic is awesome. I never thought that Id be that guy that got tired of the stick but it happened. A loaded V8 sedan for $30K is awesome and I agree by a Garman Nuvi for $200 if you want NAV it will crush any in car system. Its a Holden with better versions still to come but this is a great car a family sedan with the sports when you want it and everyone who sees it says WOW it looks like a BMW - I love it. For the money you cant beat it.

Awesome - 2008 Pontiac G8
By Cornerstone8605 - July 27 - 8:20 pmHey folks! Talk about an AWESOME car with power! For me being a female I did my homework on this vehicle. I waited until the G8 finally came out. I owned a 97 Grand Prix and held unto for 11 years (which I just sold today, 15 Apr 08) because I DID NOT like the body style of the Grand Prix from 2004 to 2007. Hubby got me the Liquid Red G8, V6 engine, with the comfort package & premium package, no sunroof. For it to be a V6, this car has some power almost like the GT V8, but in my opinion much better gas mileage. So ladies, dont be intimidated in purchasing this for yourself. This is one HECK of a machine. You will have no regrets with this car!

Problems!Problems!Problems! - 2008 Pontiac G8
By Billy G. Tinker - June 26 - 2:50 amStranded on road one month after purchasing due to dead battery. In shop x4 due to vibrations, pulling to the right, surging when stopping, then the smell of raw gas. Three sets of nes tires have been put on the car in nine months. On the fourth time in the shop, we were told by phone the car was fixed, but was still vibrating and GM was having problems with the engine. I have been very frustrated and displeased with the Pontiac G8 GT.

Grrrrrrrreat! G8 GT - 2008 Pontiac G8
By Randy - February 7 - 6:43 pmWithout a doubt this is the best car Ive ever had and Pontiac has ever produced. The horsepower and torque are perfect. I like to drive spirited and the car handles perfectly. The factory tires dont hold in wet road conditions but that will be rectified with new ones. I get 18mpg city and 24.5 hyw. Ive had no rattles, or any maintenance issues other than the usual oil changes and such. I had the factory stripes put on mine and let me tell you the flat black on red will turn many heads. The gas mileage definately went down when I put them on (just kiding). I am not sorry for buying this car, to my regret it will outlast Pontiac. To sum it up, its fun to drive youll love it, buy one.
