2006 Pontiac G5 Pursuit SE 2 door review from North America
"Best buy of the year under 20K$ CAN"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The remote trunk broke, probably a fuse. I got it fixed at the dealer.
Bad view on reverse, but this problem occurs on many 2door models.
Trunk can hold a lot, but only has a small "hole" to get things in, so you can't put large things in it easily, even tho they would fit inside...
If you get what I mean.
General comments?
This is an excellent car. It has a lot of punch in the first gear of the Getrag 5 speed manual transmission.
Ratios are.
1: 3,56
2: 2,05.
I don't know about the rest.
The handling is awesome compared to the Sunfire, and so is the suspension, the car is very silent (unless you make it roar ;) )
It has a pretty nice sound at 3,200 RPM to 5,000, then it gets "rushy". The engine sounds like it is going to leave the hood in the next second (some people like that feeling, although I don't)
Performance is great. Handling and comfort are awesome (except for the cup holders, they're bad).
The basic sound system is impressive actually... 228w Pioneer, lots of bass, many people ask me if I have subwoofers (which I don't for now)
It's pretty silent on the highway, the cabin is well isolated, the A/C works very well, the seats and interior look a lot better. and in my opinion it IS a lot better than in a Sunfire.
The gauges have a deadly sport look to me (red lights on white background) with green LCD light telling information about"
Fuel economy
Exterior temperature
Oil temperature % of its effectiveness
Average speed
Travel A
Travel B
And some more.
This car, is a beast from the outside, and a luxury car from the inside.
I love it.
