Why should I also consider these?
Priced at more than $14,000, the 2009 Pontiac G3 is not a good deal in our judgment.
Just considering resale value now that Pontiac is being phased out, we'd recommend a 2009 Chevrolet Aveo5 hatchback instead.
There are other solid competitors, too, including the Nissan Versa.
The Versa drives and feels most like a larger vehicle, in a positive sense, with a smooth, settled ride on the highway.
Our next recommendation would be the Honda Fit because of its sporty driving character, cavernous interior, Magic Seat arrangement, and best-in-class safety.
The Rio and Accent (mechanically related to each other) don't feel as roomy as the G3, but come across about the same as the Yaris.
The Korean pair is more fun to drive than the Aveo (and, therefore, the G3), but don't expect them to feel as refined—a positive character trait that stood out when we drove the Aveo5.
Nearly all of these vehicles get better fuel economy than the 2009 Pontiac G3—except, of course, the Aveo5 because the cars are the same.
