2008 GT I Have Owned Since New

My wife and I still love this car. It is fast, hugs the road, sound system is great and it has been unbelievably reliable. In Sunset Pearl (orange) we still get compliments to this day. How many twelve year old cars are this good? Only downsides are interior ergonomics and turning radius.

Fun, gas sipping, music loving toy.

Extremely reliable and easy to maintain. Never had any serious mechanical problems, with regular maintenance I am fully confident it could go 250k to 300k. Drove it for several years and was passed from one family member to another. 10/10 would drive again.

Very Sexy Little Sports Car

As the owner the same theme keeps coming back to me from all the compliments I receive which is how Sexy this car appears and looks like a new car just driven off the showroom floor. I constantly detail my GT keeping it in pristine condition. Not many car owners have pride of ownership as I do.

Upgraded Black Spoiler

Now with the Detailed Black Gloss Spoiler complimenting the ultra-dark privacy windows and black gloss rims this is the only GT having all three features of its kind.

Best car to ride to events with

Car was fun to ride in, a really good classy sports car, and has more power than people would think for a V6, just a really fun car to drive in

One of the best cars I have had!

This has been a great car! Reliable and not many repairs, mostly just maintenance, which has contributed to its longevity. I wish the auto industry would make more cars like this again!

Owned 10 Years

Bought this car new about ten years ago. It has 68,000 miles on it. I have replaced a sway bar, a stabilizer link, wheel rims, and a pesky traction control module. That module keeps dying, but I just replace it. I keep the maintenance up for oil changes, tires, alignments, transmission oil, and wipers. Maintenance for me has been as expected and perhaps a little less. Been great car and I would buy it again.
