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

  A quick fix for the Headlights... - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Knowitall - March 16 - 2:00 am

  A fix for the headlights is to aim them up a bit. Its not that they are not bright enough, all cars are the same, its that they shine too close to the front of the car. Adjust them up just six inches against a wall. To do this: 1. Open the hood and locate the headlight adjustment screw (maybe look in manual or ask a mechanic). 2. At night, adjust this screw so the headlight shines approximently 6" higher. DO NOT adjust it up so high that it shines into the backseat of cars in front of you, thats too high and annoying to others (extremely!). I know this will work. I dont know why GM has taken to adjusting them too low (same on my 97 Z28).

  My GTO is Good Enough - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Bill Ray - February 14 - 1:33 am

  All GTO owners that I have talked to grows more pleased as time passes. Initially I was impressed with the muscle and speed. After a year of driving I began to love this cars European look! My car is black w/red upholstry, Calif.Chromed stock wheels, L&N air filter, best set of headers made, you can imagine the compliments that follow this classy and sassy road machine! When I purchased it I thought I might change it after 3 years,but its the best car that I have owned. I plan to keep it. I have bought Pontiacs since the 60s, that includes Trans Ams Gran Prixs. All were good for their time, but none compared to my 04 GTO!

  Nothing else like it - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By bryan63 - January 28 - 10:00 am

  This is one of the only cars I could find in the 40k or under price range that offered rear wheel drive and v8 power and will seat 4. The other cars I drove before buying the Gto were (Acura TL V6, cadillac cts v6,Lincoln ls v8,mustang cobra and crysler 300c) the v6s felt week, The Lincoln was price allot higher, The mustang felt fast but is not as nice inside and does not seat 4 adults in confort, the Chryler felt to big and did not handle as well as the GTO.

  Why Drive Anything Else? - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Mel Ifudu - January 7 - 4:26 am

  To put it simply, why drive anything else? Thats the thought that goes through my mind when I drive. My GTO is fantastic. It is clearly the best car I have ever driven. Its scary fast (top speed and acceleration) and the exhaust noise, to die for. Thanks to our Aussie friends. Good work, great car. Although there is one thing that upsets me about my car; its the braking performance at high speed. Its like the pads are terrified of the wheel hub. Perhaps I need Brembos. And finally, my girlfriend hates the car. This is the final confirmation I needed.

  Nothin But a Good Thing - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Vader953 - November 4 - 1:26 pm

  Im soooo impressed. Ive wanted one for a year now. Found a black one with Red Int./6 speed for a STEAL. I have a Vette and am in a Vette club, and this car is equal in performance. The inside sold me as much as the performance. I am in love. I look forward to going to work in the morning now. Im most suprised about the build quality. Just like an import. Handling is amazing for a non- Vette. Ride is a bit rough, but well worth it. You have to be an acrobat to access the rear seats, but they are roomy and usable once inside!

  First feel evaluation - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Gary Sr - October 23 - 10:00 am

  Still "new" but a great car so far...Rides and drives great, corners fine for what it is. It has plenty of "gitty up" and it seems to stop on a dime with no brake fade. I think it is a real kick to drive. It handles good and It looks a little deceiving then you mash it and it becomes this other car. Fit and finish is really good and my cars paint is flawless. I pretty much love it so far.

  The Great One - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Lera - August 26 - 1:33 pm

  GM service was friendly and helpful, not pushy or annoying. This was the third GM dealer Ive worked with and they all have a consistency for low key sales push which is wonderful for a consumer. The vehicle purchased was manual yellow jacket with antracite interior and I couldnt be happier. It is a 2004 model and yet has all the power one could ask for.The vehicle has one of the smoothest rides youll encounter. Corners amazingly. Stereo is loud and clear, picks up reception well even in difficult spots.True dual exhaust sounds wonderful; there is always a nice humm while crusing without stops. Idle sound purrs. Windows tinted perfectly.Leather quality fantastic. Clear coat superior.

  Great vehicle to drive - quite zippy - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By SR Peterson - June 9 - 1:06 am

  This vehicle is fun to drive. Although getting into the rear seat with is difficult, once there, the seat in back rivals the bucket seats in the front. This car sounds and responds wonderfully. The dash has a neat feature in the color of the dash in the daylight is different to the color at night (it turns black when the lights are on due to placement). The car seems to be very reliable.
