See also the main fact sheets for the <MAKE> <MODEL>.
Headline text
G5. Be a kid again!
High Points
Please highlight a few points that accentuate the vehicle and make it stand out. On July 17th I turned 60, so that makes me a child of the muscle car era, back in the day when cars were fun to drive. Now some 40 years later I'm having fun again. Thanks Pontiac ! On July 19th I purchased my new G5 GT.
Low Points
Please list a couple of points that make the vehicle subpar to its competitors. This will not be objective or logical. I love Pontiac. One of my fathers goals was to be able to afford a new Pontiac every two years. Starting in 1959 with a new Catalina and continuing threw Bonneville and Grand Prix he succeeded. So maybe it's hereditary, but I love them all the same. The worst thing I can say about my G5.....it's not a Ferrari, but I'm not Rockafeller either.
Performance and Handling
This is the section where significant statistics on the vehicle should be mentioned. Please include as much information as possible with regards to:
- Acceleration
- Decceleration
- Engine type
- Transmission
- Suspension
- Braking
- Wheels
- etc...
My G5 is competition yellow, which is much faster than Brown or some other drab color. I had the dealer install the performance air intake and I added a Magnaflow exhaust (sounds great). How fast is it? It's not as fast as my '69 Chevelle 396 SS, or my '67 289 Cougar, or any of the three corvettes I've owned,but hey this is a new era. I have dusted a couple of Honda Civics, a cavaleer, and a cobalt. It's got a little giddyup in it's 2.4L ecotech. The 4 speed auto trans shifts very smooth. Suspension is firm but comfortable although it's scheduled to be replaced with an Eibach suspension soon. Four Wheel Anti-lock brakes mean I haven't hit anything yet. The 17 aluminum wheels and 205/50 tires will be replaced by 225/40x18 wheel and tire combo. The only reasons for the changes....it's all part of a second childhood. A 60 year old street racer, I like it.

This section should touch on the current MPG ratings for this vehicle and where it stands amongst other vehicles in its class. You're kidding, I don't know and to be honest I don't really care.
