Overview & Reviews

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.

• Powerful V8, rear-wheel drive, predictable handling from fully independent suspension, loaded with standard features.

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

  Great Car, Greater Value - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By harpo - January 22 - 2:16 pm

  Purchased the car new for $25,999. Has been absolutely bullet proof ever since. Maintenance costs are nothing. Reliability has been perfect. Enjoy this car thoroughly. Installed an aftermarket transmission and bolted on plenty of Holden parts from Australia. Get positive comments from passers by constantly. Have no idea why this car wasnt a huge success for GM.

  Awesome - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By DavidC - December 16 - 8:16 pm

  My first V8. Owned many 4 and 6 cyl and turbos. I Love it. Power at any time. Awesome sound under full throttle. Plenty of comments from bystanders. THey always ask "Is it fast?" My response. Oh yeah, plenty. The build quality is not typical pontiac for this is my third to own. Styling is sleeper which I like. Dont need hoodscoops and other eye candy. Glad there is not tons of them on the road which makes me feel lucky to own one. My wife even likes to drive it and she didnt care for it at first. I took the automatic because not interested in shifting gears anymore and can still get a nice chirp shifting into second gear. Way to go Pontiac with the GTO. Thanks.

  Better than I had imagined - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By My Goat - December 3 - 2:00 am

  I have owned several Corvettes and a Z28 and was looking for something that was a little more livable. When I saw the GTO I thought that was exactly what I was looking for. The car handles great, is very comfortable, does not have the typical tacky Pontiac design "features" and has a wonderful engine. Some argue that the car does not look like the original GTO, but few cars look like the cars from over thirty years ago. I also like the somewhat conservative styling. The more I drive it the more I am impressed with it.

  Great! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By GoatMan - December 3 - 2:00 am

  Great performance and handling. Very nice interior but truck space is limited due to moving the gas tank. Styling is too conservitive but oncce behind the wheel that goes away. This is what the GTO is all about lots of HP in a small passenger car.

  A total pleasure! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By MartyB - November 29 - 10:00 am

  Sitting in the drivers seat is like coming home. Once you find yourself there, it can be difficult to remove yourself. The comfort found in its wonderful seat is almost therapeutic. The feel and location of the wheel and stick are right on key, and a pleasure to hold. Once on the road, you forget yourself. Acceleration and handling manners that ask "How much more would you like?", and willingly comply to your every whim. The smooth ride makes any journey comfortable and tireless. I find myself taking the long way home. This is one classy vehicle, and I fall deeper in love with it after every mile!

  Great car - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By CMADROZ - November 29 - 10:00 am

  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.

  GTO: Everything expected found - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By rgray - November 29 - 10:00 am

  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.

  I Love My New 2004 GTO - 2004 Pontiac GTO
  By Packerman - October 11 - 10:00 am

  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 npayton08 - September 23 - 10:46 am

  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 Dane E. - August 29 - 10:00 am

  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.
