About a week ago I went up to my local Pontiac dealer to pick up some GM fuel injector cleaner for my car and they had a contest where if you test drove the new 2009 Pontiac G3 Wave you would automatically be entered to win it. So I decided to take it out and I was actually quite impressed.

For a small car it is quite roomy inside and the interior is put together quite well. The new 1.6L ECOTEC with the 4-Speed Auto has decent pep and is pretty smooth but if I was getting one I'd get the 5-Speed Manual to get the best performance out of it. In fact, I was so impressed with how it drove I thought that it drove better than the new Ford Focus I had recently test driven. I haven't driven any of its competitors so I couldn't say how well it stacked up against them, however I think for what it offers for the price, the G3/Aveo is a good value and a solid little car.
