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.
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"

This car, is a beast from the outside, and a luxury car from the inside.
I love it.
I have the same pioneer sound package in my COBALT. Look in the trunk to the left, if you have a subwoofer then that's where it will be. I love mine!
Yeah I bought a 2006 Pursuit SE sedan and I absolutely love it. I know what you mean for the trunk, it's big enough to hold a lot of things, but the hole is small. I have trouble fitting a big cooler in it, although it would fit if the hole was bigger. I love the fact that the subwoofer doesn't take any space in my trunk. Other than that, everything else is perfect. The passengers love it also, now I'm the one stuck driving all the time cause they like the ride.
So in other words... could car to buy? I think I am picking mine up tomorrow!!
Sooo excited... I'm a girl so all the stuff about the engine doesn't make sense... but it sure looks nice!!
I'm a mechanic, take it from me, the engine is nice too!! The Eco Tech 4 is a very solid and reliable engine, and offers excellent fuel economy.
Purchased a 06 G5 and do truly love it. Great little car, good on gas smooth ride for the most part. Must admit that the stereo system was very important with being in Sales and on the road all day.
Two issues so far in 7 months: The gear shift had to be replaced as my keys would get stuck and often would not come out at all.
Fuel injectors had to be replaced (on a recall).
Really annoying vibration on driver side with a strong wind or at 80 kms/hr. Almost like the windshield is vibrating Will be having this checked with next oil change. Yes I bought this brand new.
Sat in one of these the other day. I was very impressed with what pontiac had to offer with the g5. the ecotec four cylinder is a nice engine. this one was in the showroom with 18 inch enkei rims and a two thousand dollar body kit on the car and looked really sporty. I'm a tall guy at about six four and fit very comfortably. my dad is six nine and fit as well, but his only problem was that his head needed more room cuz the sun roof cut off about an inch of head room. other than that I liked the car.
