My Korean Pontiac G3


I got through my first tank of gas, so I was able to calculate my overall gas mileage.

I am getting 30MPG in the G3, compared to the 28MPG I was getting in my Chevy Malibu Maxx. It isn't much of an improvement (6%), considering it is sooooo much less of a car than the Maxx.

Oh, mine isn't red...

The Pontiac G3 Is Not An American Car

It's from South Korea, in fact.

It has parts from GM Daewoo and Korea Delphi. The electronics seem to mostly come from JEM which is based mostly in Mexico. They make a lot of toy electronics stuff, and after looking at the relay box on my G3, it looks like a toy, not a car. The relays are lose and are sure to pop out if I hit a few bumps.

I suspect nothing on this car is from or assembled in America.

I must also report after driving the car for the first time at night, the blood read instrument panel is hard to read and makes my eyes hurt.

I have been duped into buying my first foreign car by GM!!
