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!
