Favorite feature: |
I love the spaciousness of both front and back seating. |
Least favorite feature: |
The cheap feel of the gears as you shift. |
Advice to buyer: |
Look at the Matrix as a good alternative...perhaps they have figured out the kinks. |
Detailed review: |
I was amazed at the spaciousness of the car, four tall adults fit very comfortably. The additional features of a fold-down front seat, split seating in the back, cubby spaces, the 115v outlet and sliding visors are nice touches.
Wish Pontiac would come up with a hard case cargo cover rather than the 'after-thought' they slapped on. Hate the hard plastic cargo space...would much prefer something with carpeting or rubberized matting. The tie-downs are problematic.
Shifting on the GT is not intuitive and in fact, a bit onerous on the downshift...somewhat cheap feeling.
Finally, would like to see the car add a few more refinements to really make it stand out among similar cars.
