- 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.

Red on red. - 2004 Pontiac GTO
By Doctor Dutch - August 6 - 10:00 amMuch superior daily handling than the Trans Am it replaced. Its faster, has a drop dead gourgous interior and is tight as a drum. Driving it after owning two T/As in a row takes a bit of getting used to but its well worth the wait. It was like going from a shifter cart to a Formula racer. It has done things in the handling department the F-cars could never approach. The IRS makes a big difference in keeping the rubber on the road. This car seems German in its execution. Fit and finish is excellent, both interior and exterior. Materials and workmanship are the best ever for a GM car. Though the price seemed high initially, after living with the car, it ture out to be a bargain. Awesome!!

Best Car I have Ever had - 2004 Pontiac GTO
By wild willy - July 27 - 8:23 pmWith out a doubt the most solidly built car I have ever owned. I leased this car due to the fact that GM gave them away at the end of 2004 for peanuts. I am very sorry I did not buy it from the start. The car is an absolute dream to drive and I take every opportunity to get behind the wheel. If you have not driven one....Just go do it.!!

Grrrreat Goat! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
By Blueberry - June 19 - 6:06 pmBland styling? No way! I get compliments all the time on how this car looks. Even I thought it looked somewhat bland before purchasing. It looks better and better as the weeks go by. But the performance is what I wanted and I got that in spades. What else you can you buy that comfortably seats four, has a fabulous interior, runs like a scalded cat & costs only $27,000? Nothing. The six speed is smooth and with the amazing torque I usually just go 1st/3rd/5th around town. The exhaust note is very cool, exactly right. On the highway its quiet and tracks very well. Im not a boy racer anymore at 53 but I love a hot car thats comfortable. GTO is a grand touring car with lots of bite.

Amazed! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
By Valueman - May 24 - 10:00 amIve driven nothing but Japanese and German for 15 years.This car changed my view of what American cars can be! Everything says:"Quality":terrific seats,top-notch fit and finish,tasteful styling that lets the performance send the message. Engine response is "right now" and ferocious;handling tight and predictable, yet without screaming: "look at me". The normal American shakes,rattles and rolls, just arent there; but the "fun factor" is in spades.

The Blue Plate Special - 2004 Pontiac GTO
By The Old Goat - May 24 - 2:00 amI LOVE this car. It is all I hoped and more. Personally I like the stealth look, smooth and dechromed. It is nimble and quick, and VERY forgiving. The feel, sound, heart and soul are GTO. Barbados Blue was my choice and the A4 for the rush hour gridlock reality of life in Greater Boston. Advice for new owners? Leave the Traction Control (Training Wheels) on for a while..;>) The seats are the best I have ever sat in for a GM. This car is a Lumberjack with a haircut, shave, and manicure in a Tuxedo someone taught social graces..;>) Get one if you can!

Awesome 04 gto 6 spd - 2004 Pontiac GTO
By kell75ss - April 27 - 6:00 pmI bought my 2004 gto 6spd with 28,000 mi. The car has been running great ever since I bought it. No problems at all and for one of my cars to have that last that long with no problems. That says a lot about the car, I like to drive the car the way that it was meant to be driven if you know what I mean. 175 mph stock and I was just shifting into 6th gear at 160 it was still pulling for more. Tires dont last the longest but you have to do a burnout here or their its a muscle car. Everyone underestimates the car until they go for a ride in it a true sleeper around town about 19 mpg on a recent trip up to Canada I was getting about 26 mpg doing 80 mph+. The 6 spd tranny really gets the job done.

Please Bring it back Pontiac - 2004 Pontiac GTO
By Proghartedo - April 24 - 6:10 amMost reliable fun to drive car I have had to date. The interior quality is one of a kind for a Pontiac. The six speed is a blast to drive.

Wow - 2004 Pontiac GTO
By paul5671 - February 27 - 2:00 amA thrill to drive, excellent handling, smooth ride, comfortable. Poor fuel efficiency, but what do you expect? Small trunk, but not a high priority for this type of car. Exterior styling is a bit conservative but Im much more glad it is not overdone.
