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.

  • Still grinning - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I drove a friends Cadillac CTS-V and immediately decided that I had to have something that was close. I couldnt afford the Cadillac but with incentives and deals the GTO gives me 95% of the performance for 50% of the price. The GTO has excellent comfort and interior style to go with the power and performance. The exterior styling is on the generic side but at least it isnt ticket bait. I grin every time I drive it.

  • Fun to drive - 2004 Pontiac GTO

    I find myself wanting to drive past my house so that I can keep driving. There seem to be a lot of Mustangs and little punky 4 cyl out there that think they can keep up. I dont think so...

  • Not what I expected - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Car has been back to dealership 7 times, 3 of those times towed in. Electrical issues, transmission wont go into reverse after sitting, rear end noises, coolant leaks, battery. What else can go wrong. Very disappointed. Paid 34K for car 2 months later they have rebates and incentives. You can buy them for 24K now. So Im 10K upside down from the start!!!

  • Best Muscle Car - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Quite frankly the most comfortable and best built muscle car you can get. Drives like a Bimmer and pulls like a freight train.

  • GTO IS BACK - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    JUST A FUN FAST AND FURIOUS VEHICLE. ACCELERATION TO 60 WITHIN SECONDS , PASSING SOMEONE BLINDFOLDED BEFORE YOU KNOW IT YOUR IN THE CLEAR. STEERING VERY RESPONSIVE AND TRACTION CONTROL IS INCREDIBLE . I FEEL VERY CONFIDESNT BEHIND THE WHEEL

  • GTO new but Better? - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    The car is fun, fast, and sleek... only thing is people all think it a grand am, grand prix. Should have a better design, rear is cool, front lights and grill are basic! If you teast drive, the car it will feel like a race car! 2nd gear kicks hard, and 60mphs come super fast! Only thing I wish it had was more of that old bad a$$ look!

  • Goat Junk - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Too many initial problems: 1) Blemishes in paint 2) Lights misaligned 3) Gear shift knob rattles 4) Needs New rear end after 1500 miles 5) Weatherstrip not attached to door Also, the car is not fun to drive for a performance car. It handles like a very heavy car. Too much plowing into corners. This has to be the worst new car I have ever owned in initial quality.

    One of the BEST cars I have ever owned, except around town gas mileage! I even got 24 mpg driving car home form Iowa! And, that was with the cruise set at 75mph with the air on.

  • An owners perspective - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    The acceleration and smooth shifting 6 speed are incredible and have to be experienced. I find myself turning down the stereo so I can listen to the exhaust note while running through the gears. The leather seats and trim are luxurious and comfortable but that’s where the impressive interior stops. The stereo isn’t very clear and not very loud (even for factory). Also the Heat/AC knobs have that cheap, fragile feeling. The steering column is plastic and pops out of place when being adjusted (tilt/telescope). Over all it is a great ride and way too fun to drive. I just wish people would go to the dealer and stop chasing me down to look at it!
