  Hands Down -- Best Car Ive Ever Owned! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Happy GTO Owner - July 10 - 11:06 am

  This car is awesome! Bought in Nov 2004, it just gets better all the time. It looks like a grownups car, drives (and sounds) like a teenagers car. Interior is roomy and extremely comfortable -- 2 day road trip with 4 adults was great (mildly annoying getting in and out of back seat). Best road trip car Ive ever had -- ride is smooth and all the power you need. Took it through the mountains in Colorado and never felt so safe -- barely touched the brakes going down -- mostly downshifted. Getting on the highway is like taking off in a lear jet. Drive it once and youre hooked!

  The best car Ill ever own! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By jere - May 25 - 8:20 am

  Ive only owned my 04 GTO for a little over a week now, but have loved them ever since they re-released them. In this short time, Ive come to the solemn reality that this is the best car Ill ever own! Everything about the way the car drives, handles, accelerates, brakes, was designed to perfection. Everyday I make a boring drive to a boring job, but Im smiling ear-to-ear both to and from! My GTO is black, with black windows and black rims- very sleek. Anytime Im just cruising around, I constantly see people turning their heads to watch me drive by and listen to the wonderful low rumble. I havent pinpointed it yet- but there is just something about this car that is just menacing.

  Goat with Gremlins - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Louisville Car Fan - May 23 - 11:53 am

  As the owner of a Porsche and Nissan Z, I was innitially impressed by the quality and performance of the GTO. The power and torque are great, but the gas mileage should and could be much better. Im averaging about 15 miles per gallon mixed driving. Only 20 on the highway. The six speed manual forces you to shift from first to 4th at certain speeds. I find the feature annoying and dangerous. Its very distracting and requires too much effort. I hope no one has an accident. Secondly, my glove box fell off with fewer than 900 miles on the car. Bad sign. Additionally, the defroster does not defog the driver/passenger windows. And the paint is flawed on the front bumper.

  The best car Ive ever owned - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By IRINGEM - May 9 - 2:00 am

  The 04 GTO has to be the best car Ive ever owned. From its understated exterior, to its Corvette underpinnings, to it excellently appointed interior the GTO is the perfect car. The $33,000 price tag is a real bargain given the performance and total vehicle package. In the interior you will not find another vehicle with better seats. The controls are clearly marked and easy to operate. There is not a lot of "fluff" inside to distract the driver, just a great stereo, good HVAC control, a non-GM cruise control (this is good) and a trip computer with meaningul information.

  In a class of its own - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Charles Goin - April 21 - 2:00 am

  Some find the design bland, I find the clean lines to be perfect. Not too busy, and very The interior is fantastic and the seats are the best I have ever sat in and yet hold you firmly. The fit and finish of the interior is by far the best I have seen in a GM product. Suspension is tight, and yet on the highway is smooth as silk. Reminds me of a 8 series BMW, but with a better overall ride. With a fully independant rear end with posi-traction grip and handling are well communicated to the wheels. While the suspension may feel German, the sweet sound and powerband is all American V8. The horsepower is right there, with a ton of torque that will put you in your seat.

  2004 GTO - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By symir - April 21 - 2:00 am

  I am very happy with my 2004, GTO. Every time I get into my GTO I am just as excited as the first time I drove it. The car is extremly fun to drive, and the power is awesom. The pick up you feel when you accelerate really puts you back in your seat. I have had my GTO up to 145 mph and it drives just as smooth as it does at 65 mph. Though I do not recomend driving that fast. In my opion I would recommend the GTO to anyone who is looking to buy an affordable sports car that does not sacrifice on power or comfort to keep the price down.

  Just try one, once. - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Lothar34 - March 30 - 9:30 am

  This car is an absolute blast to drive. Drive one just once and you will be hooked. The 5.7L V8 is a great engine thats well-suited to this car. It handles great for a large coupe and delivers better performance for your dollar than probably anything else out there. The interior is very nice, especially for a Pontiac. There is nothing cheap-looking about it. The seats are large and supportive. Ive had mine now for 6 weeks and cant think of a thing Id change.

  Great Goat - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By JP - February 12 - 8:26 pm

  The 2004 Pontiac GTO was built in Australia by a GM owned company called Holden. The car is well built with a tight body, a decent sport suspension which does make it ride a little rough and includes independant rear suspension. The car is equipped with the LS1 Corvette engine of 350hp which provides the GTO with good power. I chose the manual 6-speed for my transmission option. The interior is leather with bucket seats both front and rear. I have not had any problems with the car since I have owned it and I thoroughly enjoy driving this vehicle.

  Awesome - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By hack - January 27 - 10:00 am

  I drive 40000 miles a year with work, bought my first gto when they first arrived, didnt have it long before my wife took over, just bought my 2nd just last month. totally awesome. people knock the fuel, but if you want performance, power, and the enjoyment of it, then you cant beat it. its actually quite acceptable on the highway with the 6th gear, in town not so great if you like to play, but its worth it. a few complaints about the sound system, but unless you are looking for maximum, its fine too. just take this care anywhere, and for all the plain styling so many criticize, people just beg to look and ask questions. ill keep it til it drops and then put it back together. love it!
