2009 Pontiac G8

Well-engineered sports sedan with rear-wheel drive. edited by New Car Test Drive

Summary

2009 Pontiac G8

The Pontiac G8 succeeds with rear-wheel-drive performance, style, four doors and plenty of room. If the style, space and comfort is all you seek, the base G8 is a good choice, gets better fuel economy and runs on Regular gas. Our preference was for the GT model. We enjoyed its powerful V8. It handles well yet offers good ride quality. The GXP is fun, but not ideal for commuters in metro areas, especially with the manual gearbox.

Sam Moses filed this report to NewCarTestDrive.com after his test drive of the G8 models in Southern California. J.P. Vettraino contributed from Detroit. Editor Mitch McCullough drove the GXP model in Los Angeles.
