What it is

The 2010 Pontiac G5 GT is a subcompact car that runs on gasoline. It uses front-wheel drive, a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine, and a five-speed manual transmission.

The numbers

Its combined EPA rating is 29 MPG. The city rating is 25 MPG, while the highway rating is 35 MPG.

Those figures describe different driving patterns: stop-and-go city travel uses more fuel than steady highway travel.

What it costs to run

The EPA annual fuel-cost figure is $2,300. Tailpipe emissions are listed at 306.45 grams of CO2 per mile.

How it compares

You can place the G5 GT beside other Pontiac cars and compare their EPA MPG and fuel-cost figures. This car's reference points are 29 MPG combined, 25 city, and 35 highway.

Who it suits

The G5 GT suits a driver who wants a small gasoline car with front-wheel drive and prefers a manual transmission. Its highway rating matters most for regular longer trips.

Trade-offs

The 35-MPG highway figure is higher than the 25-MPG city figure, so frequent urban driving will not match its highway economy. The car also carries a $2,300 EPA annual fuel-cost estimate and emits 306.45 grams of CO2 per mile.

Verdict

Choose this Pontiac if a compact footprint, front-wheel drive, and a five-speed manual fit your daily driving. Its 29 MPG combined rating gives a clear baseline for fuel use, while the city and highway splits show how your route can change results. The EPA cost estimate makes the running budget straightforward to plan. Drivers focused on lower fuel spending should compare those figures with other cars before deciding.
