Q: im getting a new car as soon as something goes through..ive been looking into a g8 and im pretty sure thats what i want! since they are very new not alot of people around my town have them!!.. so anyone who has one.. what are your dislikes and likes about your g8!?
A: Wait a minute there squirrely... The G8 GT (V8) economy rating is 15/24, the V6 is 17/25. You're only talking about a 1 MPG difference at the top and 2 at the bottom. Combined numbers are very similar. That is because the V8 comes with a 6 speed auto, vs a 5 speed in the base G8. Therefore I wouldn't shy away from the V8, at least not for economy reasons. I've driven several, and have ordered a GT for my wife. I think they are fabulous. BTW, I have the sister car - the 2005 GTO. I absolutely love it. Based on that I would not hesitate to buy a G8.
