Pros: What do you like about 2009 Pontiac G8?
Car has a covette-esque V8 growl and sit-ya-back in the seat capability.
Decent handling for a large automobile.
I like the leather quality.
Better than any GM product ever made. (The only positive feature from down under.)

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Pontiac G8?
It lacks the ability to compete in the handling department when compared to BMW's 5 series. I owned a 2003 BMW M3 and a 2001 M5.
No comparison to German engineering but for the price what could one really complain about?
Brakes a little mushy on the GT.
Dash computer and stereo functions are not user friendly and gas mileage doesn't update in real time.
Mine has been a lemon from the word go.

2009 Pontiac G8 Review:
It's a great GM vehicle but lacks some of things that make GM great. Let's not forget the Ausy roots where some of the design would have never made it past the American drawing board.

The windows go up a little slow and there is a wind sound that comes from the windshield.

The best Pontiac ever. Sorry to see it go. If GM can somehow salvage this car, they should. As a Chevy label, maybe?

2009 Pontiac G8 Review:
I love my G8 GXP. It is very fast for the dollar, it looks great.... that's what 9 out of 10 people tell me and that is fun to have all of that in a car. My GXP's MPG isn't that bad on the highway... well over 20, but drops fast in town but it's very worth it!
