2009 Pontiac G5 consumer reviews

Such a great and reliable car. I was at 222,351 miles with Ponpon. Drove it into a ditch and got it towed out. Unfortunately I can't afford to get her out the lot nor to even get it fixed. I'm heartbroken hahaha, but it was such a great first car. I was blessed to experience the reliability of my 2009 Pontiac G5.

I bought one of these used a few years back to keep miles off my truck for a long commute. Didn’t expect much for what I paid for it, but it’s been an incredible commuter for the money! My 5-speed gets 40+mpg all day long going 75-80 freeway driving. Is the interior cheap? Yes. Is the back seat small? Yes. I’m typically the only person driving it for what I use it so it’s perfect for me. I added a CarPlay radio and backup camera (super easy install) and all is well. No ABS, cruise control, etc. Sometimes simple is better when you see repairs on newer cars.

I bought the base model new at the end of 2008. Fast-forward to 2024...at 278000 still going strong! Just need rear shocks replaced. I commute over a mountain to get to work every single day and would drive this car forever, if I could. By comparison, we bought a 2018 Honda-CRV and have had thousands of dollars in repairs not covered and yet another recall on the fuel pump. Pontiac G5 over Honda "reliability" any day!

I am very happy with his car I'm 83 years old and it's easy to get in and out of excellent handling very economical hasn't lost Style compared to the present cars on the market! Why did GM stop making them? Always wanted a car that didn't have a sharp corners at the top of the door to hit you in the forehead when you open or close the door and this car has got it rounded corners.

I purchased this car at the end of 2008, it was a 2009 base model. Bare-bones; no cruise control, smaller engine, stock stereo (not the upgraded Pioneer). I expected this car to last 4, maybe 5 years tops....... 12 years later, it was still running as good as it was on the day I got it! Not one single engine or transmission issue. It had a couple minor issues along the way, with the standard recalls and a faulty fuel pump, that died around 38,000 miles. Other than that, I didn't do anything to it, except basic maintenance; tires & brakes. By December 2020, I ended up putting 230,000 miles on my car and finally had to replace the struts, front-right control arm (was popping) and new rotors....Less than a week later, a truck ran a stop sign and totaled out my car. I probably would have kept driving my G5 until it fell apart. As a matter of fact 3 years ago, when my son was about to turn 16, that's the car he wanted. We ended up getting him a 2007 G5 with 130,000 miles, which I hope serves him just as well!

After driving the Pilot, Ridgeline, Highlander, Santa Fe, and several others, the Sorento EX V6 was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! On my first 500+ mile trip, I averaged 28.8 mpg. If you're looking for a new crossover in this segment, put this one on your short list to test drive.

Love it I have put 151,000 miles on car so far with out any failures, except a temp sensor I've had none of the issues people talk about with this car, would purchase another but this little car I believe is going to run forever.

Gas leak, ignition recalls, shocks and struts wear quickly. Inexpensive to purchase but you make up for in repairs. Will never purchase a Pontiac again

Took the car on a test drive and loved it. Nice ride. Love the style and color. Very well maintained.

Looks good, drives well. I look forward to having something newer to drive to work. Nick & Chris are the best to deal with!
