Overview & Reviews

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.

• Powerful V8, rear-wheel drive, predictable handling from fully independent suspension, loaded with standard features.

• Forgettable styling, numerous standard features make it an expensive proposition.

  Still grinning - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By gearhead15 - June 27 - 4:26 pm

  I drove a friends Cadillac CTS-V and immediately decided that I had to have something that was close. I couldnt afford the Cadillac but with incentives and deals the GTO gives me 95% of the performance for 50% of the price. The GTO has excellent comfort and interior style to go with the power and performance. The exterior styling is on the generic side but at least it isnt ticket bait. I grin every time I drive it.

  Love my Goat - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Charles Goin - June 24 - 10:26 am

  Awesome car, handling is on par with my 97 328i it replaced. Horsepower is more than you could ever ask for. Fit and finish are the best I have ever seen from GM, especially in the interior. Speaking of which these are the best most comfortable seats i have sat in.. Add to that the limited production its like driving a Maserati or somethign equally as rare. You rarely ever pass yourself, and when you do its an occasion.

  Garbage - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By sixatbat1 - June 13 - 9:01 pm

  Bought used with 65,000 miles. 6 speed manual. It was a great performer and very fun to drive, but had a plethora of problems. After I got rid of my Ford Ranger 4x4 (daily driver) this became my daily. Whenever I would accelerate and bring the car to about 4300 rpm, all electronics would cut off and the headlights would get brighter, sometimes causing the bulbs to blow. Had an airbag light go on for no reason and it seemed to fix itself. Rode like crap, handling was mediocre, and build quality was less than spectacular. But it sure sounded good. I blew mustangs away all the time. It can also lay down rubber like nobodys business too. And fuel milage was surprisingly good. Almost 30 MPG hwy.

  By Graham Davies - June 7 - 9:16 am

  this car is a real performer, tried & tested for years in Australia this fully imported machine is awesome, being from Australia I have always been a HOLDEN guy, & when I heard they were being exported to th USA, I had to have one, who cares if they changed the name from HOLDEN MONARO to PONTIAC GTO this machine kicks butt !

  After 1 year still more impressed daily! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By oldgoat - May 12 - 1:33 am

  This is one of the most mild natured cars we have owned. It is quiet and smooth riding with an almost luxurious interior. Very civil and predictable putting around town and in the parking lots. But when you head up the entrance ramp to the highway and push down on the throttle, the thrust is unbelieveable. No complaints about anything on the car. The stereo is adequate. The mileage has been between 20-21mpg consistently with the automatic. With 350HP that is pretty good, I think. A 117HP car would need to get 60mph to match its MPG/HP efficientcy.

  Fun to drive - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By DBrickey - May 10 - 12:50 pm

  I find myself wanting to drive past my house so that I can keep driving. There seem to be a lot of Mustangs and little punky 4 cyl out there that think they can keep up. I dont think so...

  Smiling Owner - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By New Goatee - April 9 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned my Red Goat for about 3 weeks. It is true that the exterior is a bit subtle. But on the other hand, when you start it up, that is when you turn the heads. It is hard to keep from smiling when you drive it! And like another reviewer said, you find yourself turning down the sound system to listen to the engine!

  Just so you know - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Mike - March 14 - 4:46 am

  I really hope this hits the top if the list lol. Car is awesome I love it, but if you dont know anything about cars these 2 things will save you a lot of grief and time pull the glove box in the top right hand corner under the dash is the bcm wiring harness put a wire protecter on it. it rubs on the glove box support beam causes a bunch of issues if you dont fix it. Secondly pull the driver side engine cover replace the fuel line with a steal braided one or else fire will probably occur besides those 2 issues 138xxx miles and shes still running strong with a stage 2 clutch header back exhaust stage 2 brakes and poly eurothane bushings gets ride of the body roll for most of your handling problems. Also the power steering line if not adjusted after about 100xxx miles will leak on your alternator but thats kinda just wear and tear
