2009 Pontiac G3

For a Small Vehicle

By BofKC (MO) on Friday, September 09, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 24,600

Pros: "Great price and cheap to fill up."

Cons: "I don't like the chrome on the dash. It reflects in the sunlight."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I love my G3. I can whip in and out of parking spots so easily. I haven't had any problems and have had it for two years. Bought it brand new for 13K."

Saved my life!

By livi (Fort Collins, Co) on Saturday, March 12, 2011

"I love this car. I purchased it used in august of 2010, with 6000 miles on it. Just this weekend I was in a five car pileup going 75 miles an hour. my car escaped with no engine damage and minimal body damage considering, and I with only scrapes from broken glass. In the same situation, I believe any other car of this size would have gotten demolished. Other than that, this car was great. I love the steering wheel controls, cruise control, auxillary options, xm radio, ease of handling, and surprisingly spacious cargo space. I have had one problem with a cv boot, cause by the previous owner, and it was covered under warranty."

Great Around Town

By Tim Bob (Florida) on Tuesday, November 30, 2010

"Bought this car about a year and a half ago for just under 14K including tax tag and dealer fees. I've amounted roughly 35,000 miles on this sucker so far and have had one small minor problem, the on star. It's a great little car for around town but lacks on the highway, but what do you expect for the money? It looks pretty cool and is decent on gas mileage. If Pontiac was still around, I'd probably buy another new one"

you get what you pay for

By Doug (Pittsburgh) on Wednesday, August 04, 2010

"I bought a new G3 in December 09. Good price, but you get what you pay for. Very uncomfortable car and the mileage is not near as good as it should be. For the money it was a good value, but this is not a great car."

I love this car!

By Sapphyre (Flint,Mi) on Monday, May 31, 2010

"I got this as a birthday gift from my husband with the trade in for my old Van on the cash for clunkers program. I had spent days test driving other cars around the same offering price but I just didn't find them to have the style and handling as the G3. The deal we go on the G3 was $7000 out the door. I have many people who want to see the car because it was so different, and I think I got the only one that was shipped to the dealer. Gas mileage is 35 Hwy, And I love the ON STAR, I feel like it is my personal lifeline when I am on the road. You have to get this car, you will love it too!"
