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.

    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.

    This may be the car that renews my belief in American auto manufacturers. A true "spiritual cousin" to an M3 (could use a little better handling), if youre "sitting on the fence", do yourself a favor and save $20K over an M3. Quality build, fit, and finish plus that lovely American V8 rumble. What a pure pleasure!! The first car Ive bought since my M3 that has brought just a huge smile to my face every time I drive it.

    As an owner of many of the late 60s early 70s muscle cars, I was one of the many that were a bit leary of the release of the new gto. Most of us said the same thing..."Well, it sure dont look like a GTO." But after many months of shopping for a new car, I found myself repetedly returning to the Pontiac dealer. After several test drives, I just couldnt get enough! It may not have the reto look, but after driving one for 5 months, the gto has earned my respect. It has the muscle and grit I remember of the gtos of the old days, with the agility and grace of modern technology. For me, this GTO has renewed my faith in GM, and, made driving fun again!

    Excellent fit and finish. Fun performance from an understated package. Great low end torque with smooth, quick trips to 6000 rpms. Simple air, heat & audio controls. Super stereo.

    Fun to drive at any speed. I have a good feeling that this "down under" car will keep its value. A very impressive car.

    I just got my goat and shes a keeper. This vehicle is awesome. The performance is outstanding. Interior and exterior finishing on the car is awesome. The comfort level is very high. This car is most definately a winner on all levels. Sure, it doesnt look like the "old school" goats, but does it need to? I think not. Awesome. Simply awesome!!!

    I got the manual 6-speed. Good Choice. Fun to drive. At any time I can push in the clutch and give it a rev and the sound of the downshift is incredible. I was anticipating that it would not get any looks because of its non-vintage look, but the opposite is true; people stare at the GTO/5.7 Litre logo as I pull beside them. You cant beat the power, speed and performance $33K.

  • Bought used with 7,000 miles - 2004 Pontiac GTO

    I bought the car used in August of 2012 with 7,000 miles. It was the best bang (horsepower) for the buck I found while car shopping. I use the car as my daily driver. Plenty of power for everyday driving. Passing people is a breeze. No mechanical problems to date.

    I love it! Already have over 1000 miles on it. This sucker goes...in a straight line as well as the twisties. It is a pain in the but to wait for the rear seat to go forward or backward. Once again, handling and acceleration is unparalelled with any other car I have driven...which is a few.
