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.

  Black Beauty - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Brian - December 30 - 6:43 pm

  What a great car for the price. I wanted to "Buy American" and couldnt be more pleasantly surprised with Pontiacs newest offering. Sporty looks, comfortable ride, nimble handling, and great gas mileage from a quiet, smooth, peppy engine. It has all the features I was looking for, many unexpected on a car at this price point. Leather, heated seats, On-Star, and the Pioneer sound system with the ipod input jack are all great in this class of car.

  Just good sense and plain fun - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By 2nd childhood - November 16 - 7:33 am

  I have had my cometition yellow G5 for over 3 months now, and this car really rocks. When I drive like a gentleman, with cruise control set to 57 mph, I get better then 43 MPG! I have a few packages with the car, #1 being the sunroof which includes an upgraded sound system (bass reflex port in trunk) and XM radio included for a full year. Just a wonderful experience for a guy who will never buy an import. GM got its act together quite well with this car. More trunk space then expected plus pass through to interior cabin was handy. The 16 inch tire/mag wheel combo helps hold the road.

  Excellent car! Id buy again - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By Gerald Rogers - October 11 - 11:26 am

  The price was great, and the economy is typical of a 4 cylinder (hi 20s in town, mid 30s highway---regular gasoline). I dont see a compelling reason to go Japanese any more if vehicles like these continue being offered. Interior for me as the driver centers on ease of getting to the radio, ample opportunities of getting the iPOD connected to my radio, simple reach for the HVAC. Mine is the coup and blind spots abound, as others have probably noted. I would have no problem buying this car again.

  Excellent Car - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By snookers - August 24 - 8:50 pm

  I purchased my Pontiac G5 in 2007. I would not trade her for the world. Everyone assumes i spent alot more then i did on her. With the extra money i saved purchasing her, i was able to get the windows tinted and she looks sharper then any foreign car out there. She looks and sounds great with the exhaust tip i was also able to purchase with the fuel savings i enjoy. If you want a REAL deal, look into and purchase a G5. You will never be sorry...

  Still Impressed - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By JB29MD - August 5 - 3:26 pm

  I purchased my G5 (Manual Trans.) in September of 06. 6 months later, I am still impressed. The fuel economy is outstanding. All of my miles are interstate/highway miles, and tank after tank I average 34-36 mpg. The pickup is sweet. Turns are remarkably easy and U turns still make me smile. Great car for the money.

  12 Month Review - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By pdxbob - June 29 - 8:53 am

  I am in my 60s and have a degree in mechanical engineering. Bought this car new as a one year old model from the dealers lot. First, the price was incredibly good, with 3 rebates piggybacked. After driving it for 12 months, I have no problems with it, except for one thing, it started bucking when I floored the gas pedal above 50 mph. Before taking it in to dealer, I poured a can of fuel injector cleaner in gas tank, and voila, it is running better than ever. Canceled dealer appointment! Power is very adequate for every day driving, the 4 banger engine is willing and able to rev up as much as needed without getting noisy. Love this car for economy & fun of driving.

  Worst Piece of Junk Weve Ever Had - 2007 Pontiac G5
  By C. Stewart - June 1 - 1:20 am

  My husband drove a 1998 Ford F150 and it finally died. He wanted something economical on gas so we looked around and found a 2007 G5. WHAT A MISTAKE!!! This has got to be the most uncomfortable car Ive ever sat in, especially on long drives. It shakes and rattles and so far the brakes, tires, rotors,control arm have had to be replaced. The windshield wipers are useless and the road noise is horrible. Weve only had it a year. I drive a 2003 Neon with no options at all and it is a far superior car to the G5. My gas mileage is even better than the G5 Pontiac needs to go back to the drawing board with this one.

  By ssunkissedd - May 31 - 8:00 am

  I just got a yellow 2 door Pontiac G5. Its a 2007. I love this car. Ive had it for 2 days now, an couldnt ask for a better car. Great fuel economy, XM radio, great pioneer sound system (stock), sun roof, great interior an exterior look. Its a good car all around. I use to have a 04 sunfire, but Im absolutely in love with this car. An wouldnt trade it even for a Ferrari.
