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.

  • Great car - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Three mustangs and one trans am later the gto is hands down the best ride:performance yet. It almost looks like three different cars at the front back and side angles. A performance car without a oil pressure gauge is a little disapointing. A higher geared O D would be nice for those long trips. Overall its a pleasant driving experience.

    My new GTO is one great muscle car. I am 55 years old. I owned a GTO in 1970. Since that time, auto mfg has produced gutless cars. Nice bodies and creature comforts but no muscle. Ive waited for the new GTO for a while. Its 350 is all there. The comfort is truly Pontiac. Thank you for bringing raw power back to an American automobile. By the way, my other car is a Porsche.

  • First Impression - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I thought the car has a boring exterior, I thought the interior was really well designed, but the audio controls on the steering wheel felt very cheap, and so did some of the interior hard ware, the sun visors feels like they were made out of card board that were covered with cloth, The seats were top quality on the other hand. I have no doubt that the power train will hold up, I just dont think that 31k is what this car is worth. Save a few bucks, and put a ls1 v8 in a Saturn L300 AKA Catera, and you get 2 extra doors free, that basically is what this car is.

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

    I just bought my GTO 07/31 and it is a BLAST to drive, the power is great and the throaty sound of the exhaust reminds me of my High School days when everyone had a muscle car. The rear bucket seats are cool and the instrument cluster is very impressive I almost forgot the suede on the doors and in the front. I like the brushed aluminum finish this is not my Fathers Pontiac. The interior is also made with very high quality parts and materials unlike other Pontiacs which kept me from getting a Grand Prix last year (I am very thankful for that). The GTO is PURE MUSCLE with a little luxury thrown in to keep you happy. It is a mixture of a 67 Firebir

  • My first American car and I love it - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I returned from a deployment and I was looking for a car with 3 things speed space and style. SUVs was more what I was looking for concerning the last two and very very few cars where on the list, but once I hopped in the Butte it was curtains for everything else, space was the only knock but I cant think of any car that can get close to SUV in that department. But, as you can read, speed is all over the place.

  • Danes Review on the new GTO - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This is one amazing vehicle. I have owned the car for a little more than 4 months and have around 5,500 miles on her. I still get excited every time I get behind the wheel. I love it when I am stopped at a light and people ask me to roll my window down so they can ask questions about it. And to see people driving by doing double takes is great too. One of the most comfortable vehicles I have ever been in. This car comes highly recommended by me.

  • My GTO - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I went from a 2004 Chrysler 300M Special to the GTo and all I can say is wow. This car is definitely more "me". Black on black, and yes, its an auto, but that just makes her a quick performer. I took her on a 1200mi road trip to Tucson and back, averaged just shy of 22mpg, and let me tell you, I wasnt going "slow" by any stretch of the imagination. In this car, thats impossible. When you turn the car on and hear that rumble, its simply intoxicating. When you rev the engine, people look. And Autozone employees LOVE to fawn over it. But so do I.

  • A car to buy ...Trust me - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This is the kind of vehicle that you enjoy to drive on the road. It demands attention and respect in eveyones eyes. At first peopel will look and then look even harder to see what it is. This machine in my mind is the equivilent to any overseas vehicle that would like to tango. For the price it is the best you can ask for, pure muscle and respect. I think the only downfall is the sound system could have done better. But if you are thinking of getting a performance car forget the foriegn and go american--------- I have the kills to prove it.

  • True Muscle - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This is a car that deserves the GTO badge. I may only be 23, but I have been in cars a long time and have driven a lot of them. When I heard that GM was comming back out with the old Goat I thought that I would see if it would compare with the old classics. And I was suprised by the power and agility that GM has put in this car.

  • Practically Awesome - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Practical and an awesome amount of fun. I cant get over how much torque is always available anytime you need it. And that exhaust note - really cool. Extremely fun to drive and a very comfortable cruiser on the highway. Best seats I have tried. Fit and finish very, very good especially the interior.
