Test drove my first Pontiac Pursuit last night... base model 4 door (as they all are, at least for 05 models). Dark blue one... looked alright! Might look better with the foglights tho.. the front bumper is a little plain.
It handles better than the base models J's (IMHO).. the dash is really nice, gauges really well thought out, the standard driver info centre is cool because it tells you things like fuel economy, yadda yadda yadda. The dash is nice, but the door panels are very plastic... nasty actually. I think they'd be better if they were still vinyl wrapped
The seats are nice... they have height adjustment standard and are very comfortable. Good bolstering... you actually get held IN the seat now, even for guys like me (a little bigger in the midsection
). Sightlines are good.. the wheel isn't too bad.. throttle response, etc is the same as the 03-05 J's since it's the same powertrain.
The battery is in the trunk! Which I find odd simply because there's nothing venting it to the outside... which means... it's track legal
because it came from the factory like that!!
The engine bay tho... very plain. So much plastic it's hard to see anything... tho the plastic well around the oil dipstick is nice, you can get to it easily and there's nothing to burn your hands. Intake is on the passenger side now... coolant on the driver's side.
All in all, not a bad car.. esp for the price and all the standard features compared to Civic, etc.. I might get one (in the future).

Nice review John. I don't know if I'll ever see a Pursuit in person, seeing as I live in the states
. Looks like a pretty nice car overall though, I'd like to see what Pontiac did with the interior to differentiate it from the Cobalt.
I have heard some talk about a Pontiac "G4", I guess that is the US version of the Pursuit. Who knows when that will come out though, there hasn't been much press about it.
I guess we just have the Cobalt for now

I've read that the G4 is only for Mexico, so hopefully they'll release it in the U.S. as the Pursuit.
WTF?? Uninformed, sheesh...
The G4 is the Grand am replacement, in the USA, and the Pursuit is Canada and Mexico only... The US isn't getting a Pontiac Delta body.... <br>

Maybe Im just pissed, pissed that my freinds are spineless, What else would you
call abandoment some night, when you're in a fight, and they could make things right?
Spineless. I miss some of my old friends, the ones who you could count on,
bet a huge amount on, the fact that they'd always have your back... Its like a kick in
the sack, just knowing, you've got nothing to fall back on. @!#$ this, Im done.

LOL I didn't realize this was so old...I saw this link on gmdelta
Sorry! <br>
now i know this is old, but im going to bring it up since now i own a cobalt, but i thought the cobalt the pursuit, and the g6 were all delta platforms. am i wrong on this, b/c it looks like the g6 tail lights, as well as the cobalt sedans tail lights are exactly the same. please correct me if im wrong. thanks!
g-6 is a different platform, its on the same one as the malibu, i dont know the name off hand
Base Pursuit is $16,868CDN. Base Sunfire is $10,998CDN.
Should I spend the extra $7000 ($5,870 plus 14 % taxes), plus interest if I finance, to get the latest Pontiac, or should I buy the Sunfire?
