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.

    Why have we not imported australian cars before. They rock. Nothing compares to there cars, especially not the cars produced in America.

    This car is awesome. Not only does it have massive power, but its sleek style makes for a surprise off the line. Not a lot of people know about the new GTO, and are always amazed by the performance. This car is unique and stands out from all the different kinds of powerless Mustangs on the road. Ultimately a blast to drive and worth every penny.

  • not your average 32k car - 2004 Pontiac GTO

    I took over a lease in october 2005. It was a great deal or I would not have considered it. The lackluster styling of the car is a real fooler. Once I took it out for a drive, I was hooked! I owned a 1964 GTO, 4 barrel with auto transmission in 1968 & 1969 with fond memories, but WOW what a difference. all I can say is if you dont drive a new GTO you have no idea what you are missing. The plain Jane styling is somewhat of a blessing since the cops dont seem to notice the car at all, so far so good, no tickets yet! I did have it up to 135 MPH & there was alot left to go, but that was fast enough for me.

    Wife loves car. Nimble and responsive. Comfortable. Totally differnt experience than the BMW 3 and 5 series cars in our neighborhood. More of a stand-out bad-boy. The local kids know its different too... Corvette Powered! Some glitches w/ Gauges on deliever.

  • Dont believe factory stats - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Ive had this car for just over a week now. I have bought a K&N filter and a Beltroics Vector Accelerometer from Jegs. The factory stats on the 6sp is 0-60 in 5.3 and the 1/4 mile in 13.8 @ 105. After alot of practice on the starts, my best time WITH a witness in the car is 0-60 in 4.70 flat and the 1/4 mile in 13.35 at 106. I knew from magazine articles that the car was faster than advertised by Pontiac. I had seen sub 5 second 0-60 runs and a 13.53 1/4 by muscle car mag. By the way, if you want to look it up or dont believe me, the Beltronics Vector FX2 has an out of the box accuracy of 1/100 of a millisecond. Super high quality GM that handles good

    Forget about all of the naysayers that expected a retro looking car like the Mustang. This car fits the bill just fine. It is fast, handles decent, and is bigger on the inside than it looks. Trunk space is my only issue because the fuel tank occupies half of it, but mine isnt a daily driver so it isnt a big deal. The car rocks and is almost everything I could ask for in a new car purchase.

    Very comfortable while sitting in drivers seat. Downside to me is gas mileage and some styling. Although the performance makes up for any dissapointments.

    The car is fun to drive

  • GTO- Geared Toward Oppression - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Paying $30,300 I was really hoping that Pontiac would at least stand behind their product if something were to go wrong. With only 250 miles on the car the transmission started coming out of second and first gears and would not go into reverse without some coaxing. Along with dark gray paint spots all over the bright yellow exterior, I have already attempted on 3 different occasions to allow Pontiac to correct the problems but they will not even acknowledge them. From Showcase Pontiacs Service Mgr explaining to me that I was not driving the car hard enough to Don Mackey Pontiac telling me they do not know how to work on the car, I CANNOT be MORE DISAPOINTED! Lemon vehicle meet Lemon LAW!
