2009 Pontiac G5 : Review

The 2009 Pontiac G5 is quite a sporty two-door coupe that gets good fuel economy and is comfy and pleasant for daily commuting. There is plenty of legroom for two people up front. The driver’s seat is adjustable for height but it seems to work better for elevating short drivers than it does lowering down taller folks to add headroom. Generally the G5 will be more comfortable for people of average or shorter stature than it is for those who are tall.

The interior controls are easy to find and use but there is a deficit of storage trays and bins. The ride in the Pontiac G5 GT is somewhat firm and the steering is tight although somewhat heavy and the effort step-ups during turns. The G5 GT feels safe and responsive on gentle turns but when the turns are tighter and the speed increases the GT feels nose-heavy and not sporty. Overall, this seems to be a fun and comfortable commuter car.
