I sold cars in the past and we were able to have after market cruise control installed on a car. I think out price to the customer was like $400-500 but that includes a mark up. I am not sure what cost is. But you should contact an after market installer in your area and they should be able to do...

Customers that have bought one that I talk to love them. I have only seen them in the shop for oil changes and no repairs so I would think they are holding up well. Even after Pontiac is gone, you will still be able to get parts and them serviced so do not be put off by idiots that do not know what...

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.
