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.

    I have been impressed with the build quality, handling, and power of the GTO. I have driven G35s, BMW 3 series and Mustangs and the GTO is the best value for the money. Overall I am very happy with my vehicle purchase.

  • GTO is awesome - 2004 Pontiac GTO

    I took one drive in the GTO and loved it. Pontiac needs a new photographer because this car is absolutely gorgeous in person. It is beautifully understated and the interior is exquisitely crafted. If you drive to work in this car, youll immediately think your job is worth it. Few cars will cut you off while getting there, youll be able to merge by going faster than everyone, no more stuck on the onramp. Yep, this is a car that makes driving a sheer joy.

  • An owners perspective - 2004 Pontiac GTO

    The acceleration and smooth shifting 6 speed are incredible and have to be experienced. I find myself turning down the stereo so I can listen to the exhaust note while running through the gears. The leather seats and trim are luxurious and comfortable but that’s where the impressive interior stops. The stereo isn’t very clear and not very loud (even for factory). Also the Heat/AC knobs have that cheap, fragile feeling. The steering column is plastic and pops out of place when being adjusted (tilt/telescope). Over all it is a great ride and way too fun to drive. I just wish people would go to the dealer and stop chasing me down to look at it!

  • Torrid Red - Streak - 2004 GTO - 2004 Pontiac GTO

    I am very impressed with the performance, build quality and ride. This is a BIG automobile with a real (comfortable) back seat. A true 2+2 sports coupe. I choose the six speed version to avoid the "gas guzzler" tax and because I prefer a standard transmission. The design is clean and contrary to most opinions, I like it! The color, Torrid red, really pops! GM also offered $3500 cash back with 2.9% financing for five years. Altogether, I was able to reduce the price to $25,200.00 from $33,179.00. What a deal, world class performance for the price of a family car!

  • Fun and Fast - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Great car all around so far. Plenty of power with decent mileage. Six speed is a lot of fun; the only way to go. Havent owned long enough to gauge reliabiltiy, but to date very good with 9000 miles. Stereo is good with fair equalizer features (would like to do more manual adjusting). Front seat motors are very slow so backseat entry is a pain. Trunk is small but dont really use it anyway. Front seats are excellent.

    No matter what the magazines say, this car was worth every penny! Ive gotten alot of positive comments on its looks, and the enterior is really nice. And of course the power is the icing on the cake. The things I look for when purchasing a car are: Looks, power, good radio, and quality. This car has them all. With only 18,000 built a year, for 3 years, Im totally happy that I have mine now.

  • I Love My GTO? - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This is the best car I have ever owned. I just love the power and handling. The interior is very comfortable. I get looks every time I go out. I have seen people almost get in an accident while looking at my car. I love my GTO.

  • 04 GTO - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I bought this car with 20 miles on it and have loved it ever since. Decent fuel mileage for the power. Comfortable and affordable, I paid under 23k for it, technically used but new. I didnt realize all the wheel hop everyones talking about. CAGS is annoying and there is slightly too much body roll, but what do you expect for the ride you get. Brakes could be improved as well as the sound system. Overall very easy car to drive and Im sure glad I got the 6 speed. Love the styling, and I just laugh at the people who say it looks like a cavalier b/c they dont have any taste. Overall a great recommedation and car for the money.

  • Goat is back, Mustangs cry... - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Of all the bad things Ive read and heard about the styling this car packs a punch. Not to mention the aftermarket parts are a plenty and this car holds alot of power! Love the car, I cant get enough of crusing in it. People dont really know what it is and I get questions a lot. I have no problem showing them what it does and I bet they like the way my back end looks pulling away!
