This Year's Model Updates:

The 2004 GTO is an all-new rear-wheel-drive performance car from Pontiac. Although it is new to the U.S. market, it is based on a car sold by GM's Australian subsidiary, Holden, under the Monaro nameplate.

Pros:
  • Powerful V8, rear-wheel drive, predictable handling from fully independent suspension, loaded with standard features.
Cons:
  • Forgettable styling, numerous standard features make it an expensive proposition.

  • Awesome Modern GTO - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I Love this car! It is so fun to drive! The seats are more comfortable than my Tahoe seats. Nothing like raw horsepower with the suspension to match. The interior is beautiful! Im over 6 foot and with my seat all the way back, there is still plenty of leg room in the back. 350 horsepower. 0-60 in 5.3 secs. (Less with just a couple of modifications)

  • The Australian M3 - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I had named this review the American M3, but that would not be entirely accurate. I purchased my GTO late in the 2004 model year when GM was offering great incentives. The GTO has been a joy to own. I now have just under 21,000 miles on it and I couldnt be happier. This car has plenty of power on tap, yet can achieve over 30 mpg on the hwy. (6- speed manual). Around town, driven with care, I average 21 mpg. The interior is among the finest GM offers with a clean design and rattle-free construction. The handling is decent for a car this size. The car offers a comfortable ride and feels solid, as it should with the weight this car packs. Overall a nice, clean powerful car.

  • Great car - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Bought car used with around 29,000 miles. I have put almost 10,000 miles on it and have had only one problem--gas cap went bad (???). car runs great. Its a blast to drive. The interior is good too. The styling isnt great but it grows on you. Also gets pretty good gas mileage (around 20 city/hwy avg).

  • GOOD TIMES ONLY - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I HAVE JUST TAKEN A LONG TRIP WITH MY GTO AND FAMILY. A COMFORTABLE TRIP WITH GOOD GAS MILAGE OF 21.90MPG WITH THE AIR ON AND AN AUTOMATIC. IF YOU LIKE GEARHEAD GET UP AND GO NONE BETTER. IVE HAD THE BMW M3 TOO SMALL, HARSH RIDE, NOT THE SAME POWER. GO GTO. GREAT AC GETS SUPER COLD. I HAD A LEXUS FELT LIKE DRIVING IN YOUR LIVING ROOM VERY BORING. GREAT SEATING IM A BIG GUY AND HAVE NO COMPLAINTS, I CAN EVEN STRETCH OUT MY LEFT LEG FULLY, WHICH IS GREAT ON A LONG TRIP. NEED TO PACK LIGHTER ON A TRIP USE COLLAPSABLE LUGGAGE. ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS IS TWO GOLF BAGS FIT FINE. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY, MY WIFE LOVES TO DRIVE IT.

  • Love it - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Bought used with 30,000 miles, best car i have ever had, Im over 40 and have had 3 Trans ams 2 camaros 2 chargers, more mustangs than i can count and this car is without a doubt the best of the lot, seats are out of this world, fun to drive, power when you want it and i mean when, like now power. Fuel mileage is about 20 on the hwy, could care less about trunk space or passenger comfort, good sound system, did i mention the seats, styling is fine for a guy my age. I plan on keeping this car a long time.

  • 2000s Muscle Car - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This is the best new muscle car Ive ever driven. Interior is very comfort- able. The amenities are outstanding. The only bad thing is the gas mileage. You cant tweek it like the old Muscle cars. Saw the new 2005s and the scoops are great, but are they true ram? Reliability of the GTO is great. Only two probs to speak of. Seats started to make a ratchet noise after 2 months. (No fix yet per Pontiac), and on steering volume controls go up instead of down once in a while. (Cant determine prob). Car is stylish, mean and growls nicely. A head turner of today. The six stick and engine vet pack is perfect! Gotta get one for my mom. (Shes a motor head too!)

  • Still in Love - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Ive had my GTO since February,and still have the grin on my face. No problems after 6700 miles, and having fun safely and with authority on the road. I have the automatic, and after a recent dyno tune and tranny adjustment, the car has a performance level close to a manual transmission. The sleeper look keeps me out of traffic court, as does the necessary radar detector. This car is a bargain at MSRP--the deals offered right now make it an absolute steal.
