This Year's Model Updates:

The Grand Prix underwent a redesign for 2004, but those familiar with the big sedan will find its blend of performance and comfort hasn't changed much.

Pros:
  • Strong supercharged V6, nimble handling, attractive gauges, easy-to-use controls, big trunk, fold-flat front-passenger seat.
Cons:
  • Build and materials quality still needs work, tight backseat, noisy engine, not enough storage or cupholders, no auto climate control.

  • Great car - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    A true luxo-cruiser. Amazing mileage for size (30mph on road). Quiet enough for a hands free phone. Power is very smooth and unobtrusive. Panel fit and paint quality still look new at 40K miles. Considering all the electrics on the car, never had a glitch. The car tracks very straight with no wandering. And it looks great with tremendous value vs. the competition. Im becoming a Pontiac man!(had another flawless 01 GP)

  • Great performance for the buck - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I moved from an 8 cyl Llincoln LS to this model in order to save money, gain some winter driving performance and not loose the fun. However, you do have to give up a fair amount of luxury also. I also believe that a $30,000 car should have the basic self-dimming rear view mirror, heated side mirrors and climate control. A power passenger seat would also be appreciated; at least offer these as added cost options for those willing to pay. The back seat is also not too comfortable and without any cup holders; luckily I do not have to ever sit back there! With all the rebates and technology is is a good value for the buck.

  • speed meets comfort - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    We popped the hood on the trunk, four of my buddies huddled over the engine. I put it in neutral and revved it (it limits the revs in park) What happened next was amazing. the whole engine torques and jerks. this engine is a monster. this cars accel is not too fast of the line, but from 30-70, it is amazing. when you are going 45 it feels like you are going 10. this car needs speed, and if you dont intend to do some highway traveling, you better find an outlet for this cars inner beast. this is like strapping a jet engine to a lazyboy, this cars amazing ride combined with unbelievable power makes it a great choice for any one looking at a mid size sedan

    Wow, this car was a great improvement to the last model. This car blew me away when i first saw it. Although the cars interior is a little touchy. Ive had the car for less than a year and the paint from the steering wheel is already starting to rub off. Performance is great though overall, and i am pleased with the way it handels and overall comfort, except if your in the backseat and your over 13 years old.

    what a great performance car. the handling and power are awesome. it grabs corners like a sports car and has exceptional power passing and taking off. the leather interior is sporty and classy. very well done. workmanship is also a 10! why drive an import when you get everything you could want from a great american ca

  • head turner - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I love my 2004 GTP, its quick and I am thrilled with the interior I understand the complaints about the head room, but I am only 57" and I probably would not of bought the car if I was much taller. I dont like the fact that you have to turn on the fog lights every time you start the car, and that stupid light that comes on when they are on, how annoying at night. Also the "Stealth Mode" is cool, but my heads up display showes when my high beams are on so why the BRIGHT light! Its a distraction. But to end on a positive note, I love my new car and get compliments on it all the time, the 17" chrome rims are a great option worth every penny!

    Huge improvement over previous body style / interior! And really really fun to drive.

  • My Poor Grand Prix - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Like many other cars, this car has its ups and downs. Unfortunately for me, there were more downs than ups. It may be due to the fact that I bought it with 155k miles on it but it still doesnt change the fact that the Grand Prix is not built with quality materials. My car overheated four times within a span of 8 months. I expected the car to last till around 250k miles but Im gonna trade this bad boy in. Car has decent acceleration but no power after 3500 rpm. And nowadays little 4 cylinders can hang and even outrun this V6 and still get better gas mileage. I suggest getting a GTP or GXP and get those extra horses or else youll be disappointed just like me. Dont do it to yourself!

    One of the best cars I have ever had. Its sporty, quick, and drives great. The gas mileage is excellent and the deisgn is a gret new change. Best decision I have made and the dealer made a great deal on it. Better deal than any foriegn car I was looking at.

    This is my second Grand Prix. Traded in 95 with over 200K (transmission started failing). Bought my 2004 with 33K in 2005. Now has 180K and engine still runs as smooth as when i purchased it. Transmission tends to slip when HOT. This car has had NO REPAIRS since purchased. I call my car THE ONE. She will never leave me stranded :) One down fall i will admit is the back seat. With a tall toddler and being tall myself i have to adjust my seat forward for him to have room. Great mileage since day one. I take great car of my car as well and hope to see 250K before i turn her in. Or maybe ill keep her and buy a 2008 with low miles. Love my Grand Prix :) wish they would make MORE!!!
