Man, you do an incredible job going through the features on the G8. This was as good as any professional car review. I'm starting to look for cars that offer high performance at a reasonable price and I'm really impressed with what I've seen and heard about the G8. Thanks for taking the time to provide all this info.
You can make lights go into stealth mode by holding both dimmer switches at the same time for five seconds to make all lights go off in the inside only speedometer will be lit up
anonymous That’s great! Glad you are enjoying it. Realistically for me I can see myself getting a 1996-2007 Ford Taurus as a first car. With the front split bench seat and column shifter. The G8 cars look nice though. But you work your way up to It. Too bad pontiac had to die.
Fuck me made some awesome cars here in Australia! I got the exact same car, but in green and its a commodore SS-V. Its amazing that Holden took the time and effort to swap all the indicator, windscreen wiper, hand brake and cruise control over to the correct side unlike every other manufacturer.
hey there great car i own a 2008 GT. one thing you need to know you said that 20091/2 GT had less HP, its actually GM dropped the HP from 361 (2008) models and all 2009 models dropped HP to 355 due to emission changes. Remember GM made 3 models of G8's the base model which had a V-6 the GT which had the 6.0L V-8 and the GXP which was top of line with 6.2L V-8 LS2. ths car produced 415HP. the base G8 did not come with the LCD screen for raido and HVAC conctrols. i would tell your viewers that these cars are a Australian Holden built car. Holden is a subdivision of GM. The current Chevy SS is the current car made which replaces the G8 since Pontiac closed down in 2009.
+ HORSEPOWER 5280 Nice video man! You pretty much answered all of my questions. Keep up the good job! and always looking forward to see your next video
I keep the overspeed at 95mph on my GTO simply because you dont realize you're going that fast. I also have a hhr as a dd and the engine is wheezing at that speed.
I've seen this video before it's a good video on fe2 to which you had on written on the which he had written on their is the sport suspension as I'm familiar with these Australian built cars stn if you had that written on there with mean standard suspension which is just a little bit higher and I believe now we have a fe3 which is an upgrade from the fe2 suspension
This video is really helpful! I own a g6 gt coupe that I'm planning on trading in for a g8 base model possibly a gt depending on which one was more well kept. wasn't sure about all the features. So thanks now I know what to shop for.
Im on the fence about getting a GTO or a G8. The back seats in the GTO are actually roomy. I love a manual car, the Gto is a manual. I just keep checking out the G8, its a damn good looking car. Any advice would be great. I also have a 5 and 7 year old.
+HORSEPOWER 5280 (HORSEPOWERAT5280) I just wanted to know if you might be able to do a video of your tune you have on your car. what you have, what you need, what it does and maybe how to go about it. I am getting a lot of questions regarding this and I see you get them every once in a while. thanks.
Are yoy frequently going to post on your Instagram account? I think you should let your fans know about your social media because you can get a lot more popular very fast. And you should also post on your social media about when you upload a video. Just a suggestion also my dad just got a G8 Gt because I showed him your channel you can check out my car which is a GXP and his car on my Instagram @tweverett3
You said someone wanted to see the cars features like the cruise control, AC, & radio….. Oh, so basically the same 3 features you can get in pretty much 99% of other cars on the road with really no difference at all…..
so the demise of Pontiac can be best summed up by saying that the Aztec was the sign of the end of Pontiac. The GTO's and Gx were the death bell ringing. While I like and want one, the GTO and Gx's werent even american cars, even Austrailia couldnt save Pontiac from themselves.

Its been 4 years, did you get the G8? lol
@@komakino5906 was this attack provoked? i didn’t think so. leave me to cry.... i bought an infiniti 😔
im barely getting my g8 this Friday🥲 second car at 16🙏🏻
Actually that aux is for that mini jack spot on the right hand side next to the upper knob
Just bought a G8, this was a really helpful video. Thanks.
Nice walk thru. There's a extra set of cup holders in the lower part of the back seat. It slides out after you give it an push.
That was only available on 2009.5 model
+DavidJLim Thanks!!
+HORSEPOWER 5280 (HORSEPOWERAT5280)
I have the Bluetooth feature but my dash only says Blaupunkt on it
This was really interesting, helpful too. I’ll be purchasing a gxp pretty soon I doubt much is different in that cars interior. Thanks my man.
I bought a G8 Gt. My car is G8 gt sport. I have black leather with red inserts on seats. Same color and everything. I love it
Fuck me made some awesome cars here in Australia!

but the 2008 g8 GXP is the same as 2009 GXP except for the horsepower difference?
The 2009 G8 Base does have the LCD screen it also has a six CD changer and the HVAC controls.
@@megacharzard10gameing79 GXP was only in 09
really have enjoyed your videos on the G8 and the Z06, keep up the good work.
love the vid have a good day
I gotta get one of these. I had a 2004 GTO, so this seems similar but much more roomy with better creature comforts and a real trunk.
Like i said in the other video, you have a super nice G8! I'm glad i found your channel haha :)
+Anslock Awesome! Thanks!!
+ HORSEPOWER 5280 Nice video man! You pretty much answered all of my questions. Keep up the good job! and always looking forward to see your next video
theres one in georgia with the base infotainment module
Great video! Thanks! really looking for a buyers guide video on these but haven’t found one yet.
Cool Pontiac G8 Interiors And Exteriors. 😁
This video is amazing, thanks bro!

Nice Vid Just got this on UTube 2020 got a VXR8 HSV which is near the Same as Your inside but mine has the 3 dails up Top . Cheers from UK
I believe there's a hack for Rolling up the automatic windows button, just like the GTO.
Is that carbon fiber trim on the dash factory? If not where did you get it? I love that trim, with the 6.0L L76 badge.
He said he did it himself
Struts love to go out on these things but none the less its a great grocery getter!
@anonymous 29mpg??? How lmao you must have the v6 version bc the best I have gotten on my v8 gt is 16 and lowest was around 10🤣
great video! very in depth
This video is really helpful! I own a g6 gt coupe that I'm planning on trading in for a g8 base model possibly a gt depending on which one was more well kept. wasn't sure about all the features. So thanks now I know what to shop for.
How do you adjust the backrest on the driver seat
Why does my 2009 have that battery and oil on the center screen do u think? I just got it yesterday
What car cover do you use? Would you recommend?
Great walk through mate, I see you have not done the ignition recall as you still have the flip key.
+Ken Stow Thanks! I am going to hold on to my flip key as long as I can, I forgot to mention that recall in the video.
do they replace the flip key with standard chip key ?
If you get the ignition recall the flip key can not be used unless you hack it

You'll appreciate the back doors for the little ones. I had a 2 door Gran Prix, and it was always a pain buckling up my little ones.
@@tedharvick9010 I went with the G8 GT. I love that thing. Like you said its awesome with the kiddos! Thanks for the advice!
Holden commodore Ssv in Australia
That system didn't have RDS?
Brooo!!!!! I fucking want a G8!!!!

+Ken Stow Video is up.
Thanks mate, you did a great job.
I have a g8 base v6 hate to admit this but the aztec hood is similiar .
Did anybody else notice he's wearing shorts in the snow
The midwest just kinda be like that
I'd love to have a car like that. I've looked everywhere for one and I cannot find one😭
where are you located
They're getting really hard to find. You could also look for a caprice ppv. Same car just longer wheelbase.
Is that a commodore?
Yeah I’m buying this car
Did these not come in a manual trans?
Can't you upgrade the factory head unit
What part of Colorado are you living on ? I love g8's
are you thinking aftermarket wheels in the future for your g8??
yes, I have them just waiting for warmer weather.
Holding down interior dimmer lights turns on night mode turns off interior lights
Pontiac finally got it with the g8 and then they were gone
How much do they go for in the USA?
dealership about 14000 if there re saleing it about the same or a lilttle more
What year is this car?
My g8 has base radio
Sick car bro
My 06 has Bluetooth for my phone
Mines is an 09 i don’t have that kinda radio 😭😂
