jtmarine02 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 So it's time to buy my wife a new car to replace her 05 Mazda 3. We are looking to buy another sedan since we only have 1 kid and a SUV isnt necessary yet. (although I'd love a new GMC Yukon Denali w/ 6.2L) Anyways we found a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT with 17K miles for 24998. It's got a 6.0L GM engine and its color is near that of my Arrival Blue SSS. I love that blue! Anyways wanted to get you guy's opinion on the car.... here is the link to it if you wanna browse.G8 GT link. Thanks and let me know what y'all think!

yfz450_0569 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I really don't know much about these cars, but I've seen guys add easy power on these and still quite reliable so I think in stock form they must be really good!

ChinoHillian Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 dude you should get it, they are pretty reliable from what i hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car is bad ass especially the G8 GXP version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Go for it! They are a very well built car. I would love to have one, I would trade my g6 for one in a heartbeat if I could. They ride smooth yet handel well and have plenty of power plus the rwd is a major plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUESS2003 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I had one already, they have a few problems on the bushing of the suspensions and the front control arms. other then that put some long tubes an intake and a good tune and these things are monsters. stock mine dyno'ed at 286 on the wheels and after those mods i dyno'ed at 368RWHP. not bad.. LOL Here is a picture of my old car.. I miss her.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUESS2003 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Oh also if you get one, look at the 2009.5 model and above, they have the bluetooth capabilites from factory.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmarine02 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 thanks for all that input! Keep it coming... We went and test drove a different one, white non-leather w/ sunroof & 40K miles, just to see how it drove. Both the wife and I loved it. I really dig the power that it has. Now its time to decide if we are choosing the G8 GT or my wife's 2nd choice, a 2008 G35 Infinity Sedan... Pray for me that we get the G8... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Get the G8, those cars are badass. They are 13 second cars right out of the box..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 G8s are pretty sweet. we test drove one last year nice cars. on the other hand G35s are nice also. If it were a ride for me id get the G8 but when it comes to a vehicle for my wife i wouldn't really care about the HP to much it would be more of a safety thing for me to buy. good luck on your choice both are nice.

04CHASE Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 im in the same boat for my old lady . just cant really decide . there are really nice bmw's and benz in the same price range ( 335's and a few e55 amg 's ) gotta say working on the g8 would be alot easier though.

jtmarine02 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Yeah we are still debating on which one to buy, as much as I want that G8 it's ultimately gonna be the old lady's ride. So we will see, thanks for all the input and opinions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
