Simply amazing

I have a 09 Pontiac G8 GXP 6- speed. I absolutely love everything about this vehicle from the inside to outside and front to back. The clean sleek interior is extremely comfortable and roomy. The back seats offer as much room as the front (how many cars can you say this about?). I have three small complaints about the interior 1 no redline on tachometer, 2 the car has Bluetooth and I don't believe you can play music through it (maybe I haven't figured it out yet) and lastly, 3 the large radio screen does not have a navigation feature. The car offers an aggressive yet refined exterior styling. And performance is outstanding. The suspension handles extremely well on both the highway and in corners. The engine is a monster! The car's performance literally scares me. It's basically a 4 door corvette sleeper car. My biggest complaints on the car is that I wish I would have bought one sooner and of course that GM closed Pontiac down and discontinued the G8.

Most fun 4 door sedan on the market for the value

Great looks, comfortable and ergonomic interior. Omg reason I didn't rate it excellent is because their is a nice size screen for the radio but in America navigation was not an option. Only in Australia. It's a 4 door modern muscle car, that's rwd...how can you not love it!

Better be careful with your right foot

Love this car other than a few minor issues. The cup holders are too small and located poorly. I hate the power window controls being in the center and I don't like the trunk release being in the glove box. Other than that it is one of the best cars to have a GM badge even if it is a Holden

Great car for what its worth.

Love the car, great vehicle to have for fun and as a daily driver. They are also different and don't see many on the streets. If you like to be unique and want something that's fast and exciting along with great looking and comfy this is a must.

Best look car &a best performance

Car is 100% a must have. It can be a smooth ride or a fast ride depending on what you want. And it's a SEDAN ! Fits more than just 2 people.

Fun 4-Door

Sleeper car that gives you quick control of the road yet comfortable enough for 4 adults. Love the 0-60 and passing torque. Not overly techy but muscle car simple.

greatest car made

had this car for a year and a half, little to no maintenance was needed. this car is very fun, the sound system is great, and can go pretty fast. Its luxury, sporty, and a head turner. at almost 130,000 miles I've got work to do cause I've been running this engine at least 60 -80 miles a day.

Best car I owned.

I've own a few vehicles, but only two since new. It wasn't perfect, but it was good fun, good looks, good all around value for what I paid for it.
