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

Fast, Fun, but cheap interior feel... - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
By John Mckee - October 4 - 2:00 amThis car is a blast to drive and it is very forgiving and responsive at high speeds. The interior layout is excellent as far as the driver controls and my only complaint would be the cheap feel of the interior construction. If you are gong to get one of these (and I highly recommend it) you have to get the GTP with comp group "G". If you dont you will be sorry. I look forward to driving this car everyday, even to the store just to buy milk! The car is flat out FUN and will smoke the tires through an intersection if that is what you like to do, and that is with the traction control on. GM designers know what car enthusiasts like and they built it!

GM retired a powerhouse - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
By zaranjjt - October 1 - 8:42 pmBought the car in 2005 with 6k on it.Its now around 114k and still running splendidly.Never really had any major problems until last year when I accidentally hit a curb. Soon after had to replace tie rods, brakes found leaks in the coolant tank and power steering reservoirs. Got them all replaced at around 5k, now the car runs like smooth as silk. Even now i get a thrill out of an early morning acceleration rush. the a/c brings temperatures to polar regions in the peak Texan summer effortlessly. The car used to sheer through Michigan snows without so much as a sway. Many friends who had Hondas and Infinitis would ride with me because the stability of the Grand Prix in those conditions.

Hooray for GM engineering - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
By AdamJoe - September 4 - 10:00 amI just bought a new Grand Prix GTP with the Comp. Group package, and I couldnt have been more surprised with the way the new car is built. Im glad to see that GM is making headway against the foreign brands. The quality seems to be much impoved regarding materials and rigidity. Nice touches such as the waffle pattern head liner, or theatrical lighting when entering the car. This car feels tight in every aspect. I could go on forever about the new Grand Prix, but I wont. Lets just hope this is a first of things to come from GM.

I loved it when I bought it - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Duane - August 29 - 2:26 pmAs a car guy I really enjoyed this car at first. So far Ive had the steering repaired. Recently, the a/c compressor bearing went out. That skewed the belt which put tension where it didnt belong. The alternator, tensioners and compressor all needed replacement. The new compressor (a GM part) has significantly higher sides to keep the belt in place. Ive also learned theres a problem with the intake gaskets and some day theyll need replacement. (My wifes 05 Impala already went through this.) GM has some serious quality problems here and its not just on Pontiac. I hate to say it, but Ill be looking at foreign cars next time I buy and GM can only blame themselves.

2004 Pontiac GP/GTP - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
By Tom - March 9 - 4:40 pmI have owned mine for two years and have 33k on the odometer. I have not had any problems at all other than a bad seal on the gas cap. I do a lot of highway driving. The midrange acceleration is very good with the super charger for merging & passing. I average 22.5 miles a gallon (combined city/highway) No bad, the only drawback is premium fuel is required. In a nutshell, I have been satisified with the car & probably will look at another Pontiac (or other GM products) the next time around.

Excelent car - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
By donmal - March 5 - 2:00 amThe car is good. I usually bought foreign cars, but after test driving the GTP in 1998 I fell in love, and; no- more foreign cars for me. The 04 Grand Prix is not the best looking car on the market one must admit but it worth the price for the package

Dependable, sporty, but a little ho-hum too - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
By fnash - November 5 - 11:55 pmI bought my GP GT2 used with about 32,000 miles on it and now have 115,000. I have not had to have any major service done on it, ever. I have had to replace normal wear and tear items like brake pads or rotors, and have oddball issues that occur still. The fuel pump seal is bad so when the car sits for a bit the fuel drains down the line. Turn the key to ON a couple of times before going to START and youre fine. Exhaust sound is outstanding, handling is great, and power is nice but a little lacking by todays standards. Fit and finish is OK but kind of bland and cheap looking. Overall though, an excellent purchase. Well worth the money.
