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.

  • The Goat is back! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I had to choose between a Corvette and the M6 GTO. While the Corvette definately looks better, it has one thing working against it. It looks like a Corvette. The GTOs non-flashy styling will probably save me a couple of tickets. The interior: I find it simply amazing that GM was able to create something so awe inspiring and functional. I can easily seat 4 adults comfortably. Although the gates are a little questionable and the shift is a little long it is not unreasonable. Nothing a short shifter cant fix! The drive shaft/Axle halves could stand to be a little larger. Wheel hop is a mild problem as is on most independent rear drive V8s.

  • it goes fast and is sooo comfortable - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    about all I can say is this car is awesome. megga power and so comfortable. I love everything about this car. the mustang cobra svt may be a tad faster but when you sit in a gto and then get into a mustang there is no comparison. the mustang feels like a cheap econo rocket.

  • The GTO is Back, baby! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Waiting over 30 years for a "real" GTO, the wait has indeed been worth it. No Pontiac in recent memory gives more bang for the buck. Fun, fast, comfortable; all of the pluses of my old T/A with none of the vices.

  • What A Car! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    What a great car. I traded in my 02 TA WS6 for this beauty and I am in no way disapointed. It blows the TA away in every aspect. The GTO has superior performance, handling and comfort. OK, it may not have the looks of a TA but I prefer the understated look. The engine note is wonderful. I have the Torrid Red six speed manual.

  • Modern Muscle Car - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This modern muscle car did not have to have the GTO name. It is its own muscle car made with todays features and technology. This is the first car of my era that I can think of that could possibly be an icon in the future. The 2000s has not seen too many strong American cars that have the right to be considered Muscle(without being $50k or higher). I am as excited about this as my Ftaher-in-law was when he was my age buying his GTO brand new. Who would have known then that his car would have been such an icon. This is history in the making. Thank you Pontiac for giving my generation the chance to be part of something great!

    By -

    I recently purchased the GTO. I cant believe the performance that this car puts out. I was originaly looking at Corvettes and BMWs, but when I test drove this car...WOW! Just with the exterior design had a little more punch to it. All and all, awsome car.

  • Long term review - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Ive owned my GTO for 5-1/2 years now and its still the best GM car Ive ever owned. Over 86,000 miles on it and still no squeaks or rattles. It hasnt needed anything but minor maintenance. Its still as fun to drive today as it was the day I brought it home.

  • The new GTO, is it really back? - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I have purchased many new vehicles with out any problems but this one has had me in the dealership twice so far. Battery replacement and now speedo gone hay wire. what is next?

  • Damn nice car - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This is one of the nicest news cars Ive bought it years. The fit and finish is like nothing GM has sold here in the past. BMW like quality abounds. Plenty of power to boot.
